is this a silly question?

Hi all

I am arriving in Paris from China on Friday evening and need to make a phone call to the landlord of an apartment which my father has arranged.

what is cost of a quick call to a mobile from a pay phone? do french pay phones take coins or do i have to buy a phone card?!?

sorry if this is a silly question! chinese pay phones don't take coins, only cards!

cheers

Most French pay phones don't take coins either, but you can find a few at the airport or in the major train stations. Nowhere else.

You can use your Credit card (Visa accepted) to call from a pay phone. To call a mobile phone usually costs 0,50€/mn.
