Email on the move!!

I will be going to france for a few weeks very soon and I will really need access to my e-mail!! I am trying to find a good and relatively cheap way of doing this. It is a camping holiday so I wont have access to a phone line. First thing I thought of was using a mobile phone but that will cost 1.50 a minute or more. Any one have any suggestions that are affordable!!

I will be in fairly remote areas and it will probably be difficult to find an Internet cafe!! I would much prefer if I had some sort of wireless solution but I can't find anything.

See if you can get your GSM handset unlocked, if it's not already (try using a different Irish provider's SIM in it). When you get to France, find a mobile phone shop and ask them for a SIM-only pay-as-you-go deal. Orange in France do it for 30 euro which includes 10 euro call credit. That will get you off the insane roaming rates and down to 30 cent a minute or less. Not perfect, but doable.

or just befriend some local, he/she is bound to have a computer and phone line, if they don't I'm sure they're friends will

just don't ned up marrying their puc daughter for access like others have before you.
