Default SPOT usage in southern France

I use a SPOT unit here in the USA and will traveling to southern France for a bicycle trip through the Pyrenees first half of September.

Hoping to use the SPOT unit for status updates and emergencies to the driver.

We will purchasing a SIM card for an unlocked iPhone 4s.

Any pilots in France using a SPOT here? Can you recommend which SIM card provider to use?

We will be buying the SIM card in Toulouse.

Thanks in advance

In the Alps, I use Orange.fr with quite good results. I dont know about the Pyrénées. There are national roaming agreements between the operators, and the coverage is quite good in France, even in relatively remote regions.

Anyhow, in the border regions, be careful that you don't inadvertently change to a foreign operator if your phone switches automatically. That can be expensive...
