We will need phone and internet service in Clermont-Ferrand. Most likely, we will purchase simple mobile phones and pre-pay/pay by the call rather than by contract. For internet, it will probably be France Telecom's Orange service, but that is a guess.
For calls to the U.S, we will use Skype. We have set up Mom on Skype so she can call us and we can call her, PC to PC for a few cents a minute. We can also call our home phone and check messages for a similar rate, rather than pay $.99 per minute on our U.S. cell phones.
That is my best guess for now - getting those things set up will be high priority when we arrive in Clermont-Ferrand. We have already started a mental list for the first few days: Get into apartment, open bank account, start utilities, phone and internet - we will be busy!
