Cell Phone Usage in France
If you are planning to travel to France and wish to have the use of a cellular phone, there are several features that your phone will need to have to ensure that is will be compatible with the French cellular system.
Like many other European countries, France still uses the GMS, which stands for the Global System for Mobile communications. As this system is second generation cellular technology and North America uses third generation, your regular cell phone may not be compatible. Many service providers still offer GMS phones upon request, so you may need to purchase one of these types specifically for your overseas travel.
You will also need to check with your service provider to ensure that your GMS cell phone can function using the 900 and 1800 frequencies that is also prevalent in Europe. The Untied States uses the 850 and 1900 frequencies.
To use your cell phone in France, you will need to switch the setting to the "roaming" feature. In some cases, you may also need to talk to your service provider to see if you will need to activate a special "overseas roaming" mode. Your service provider will more than likely charge you additional fees to use either of these features, which can be quite expensive.
You may want to check into "unlocking" your cell phone so that you can use a French service provider once you arrive in that country. Most service providers do not allow this, as they receive no money when you are using a different company. However, there are some companies online that can help you to pinpoint your phone's code, allowing you to "unlock" it yourself. Your phone may prove to be too difficult for these companies to "unlock, " so you may not be able to use this option either.
You may wish to rent a cell phone once you arrive in France. The French cell phone rates are very inexpensive, with no fee for incoming calls and a low outgoing call charge. This cellular system also has clear reception in every corner of the country, so you can make calls anywhere you happen to be. You can rent one of these devices at any of the major airports as well as by more traditional methods, such as various stores or looking in a French phone book. Unlike several other countries, you do not need proof of residency such as a French driver's license to obtain one of these phones.
The rates for the phones themselves run between $25 and $50 per week plus an additional charge for placing and receiving cell phone calls. Calls to the United States cost approximately $.80 per minute, which is much less expensive than the rates charge by American service providers for the "overseas roaming" feature, which can cost $1.25. These devices allow you to take advantage of the same cell phone rates that the French citizens enjoy.
As you can see, if you wish to have the use of a cellular phone while you are visiting France, your best option is to rent a French cell phone. You will be assured of having excellent reception at very reasonable rates.

Is this a good business idea?
Hi. I'm 15 and I want to start my own online company. I want to make real money ($100-$300 a day), not kid money. I don't want to start an affiliate marketing business, but I want to start an online service company of some sort. Reseller hosting is a very saturated industry so here are my other ideas.
1. A digital music distribution/marketing company. There is a site called Tunecore which lets people sell their songs on iTunes. But for my company, we would find new bands/artists and provide that service for them. We would also provide a wide variety of marketing services. We could build band websites and market them on Facebook and other social networking sites. I could probably charge $100 for the site, and $70-$150 per album placed on iTunes (they would keep 100% royalties, they only pay the one time fee).
2. I found a free web script that lets you create a website where bands/artists can create profiles, share their music, and listeners can rate, share, chat, follow, etc. It is sort of like purevolume.com, but aiming at a smaller niche of new bands and artists. We would make money from ads and affiliate products :).
3. I've been looking, and they dont have websites that review bands. It might take a long time to write reviews though.
4. A website where people can buy and sell websites/domains. Like flippa.com, but I'm positive the industry is not really saturated, and I could make some money. I would charge a fee if the transaction is successful.
5. Lots of phone review sites go a lot into depth about phones, that it sometimes can be confusing. I have gotten a lot of feedback from elders saying that people in the phone stores are useless. I was thinking of making a site that reviews cell phones, but just gets to the point (who the phone is for, best features, pros, cons, final recommendation).
What other things could I do to make a lot of money ($100-$300 a day) online? Are any of my ideas good? Please don't say I should't post ideas on YahooAnswers, because i just want some feedback. I really want to know how to make a lot of money online.

Which services could I offer online?
Hello. I am 15. I would really like to start making a lot of money (50k-100k a year) online. I'm really clueless, because after a few years of research, there have been so many ideas thrown at me. I'm just looking for the best one. Here are my ideas (please don't tell me I shouldn't post ideas on yahoo, I'm just looking for feedback).
1. A digital music distribution/marketing company. A service called Tunecore lets people sell music on iTunes and other stores. We would find new bands/artists, use the Tunecore service (and eventually/hopefully partner with Apple to sell directly without Tunecore) to sell their music on iTunes. We could charge a $100 fee per album, which lets them keep 100% of the royalties earned. We would also offer marketing services such as building a basic promotional website, social network marketing, etc.
2. I found a free script online that lets you make a website where bands/artists can share their music, and listeners can share, listen, rate, comment, follow, etc. We would use Adsense and affiliate marketing to make money.
3. A cell phone review site that reviews phones without all of the detail. The reviews would be straight to the point just giving a small description, pros, cons, and recommendation. This site would be for people who don't want to know all of the specifics.
4. A web marketing company. We would promote small businesses by offering websites (made with webs.com), and social media marketing. But would people really pay me to set them up a facebook account?
Are any of these ideas good? Do you guys have any other possible online company ideas that could make me money. Reseller hosting is popular, but very populated. What services could I provide online to make a lot of money?
Thanks.

5. Currently, there are no sites that review guitars and guitar equipment. I could start a website, and make money by selling affiliate products and ads.
Are any of these ideas good? Do you guys have any other possible online company ideas that could make me money. Reseller hosting is popular, but very populated. What services could I provide online to make a lot of money?
