. i asked one of the moderators to possibly merge this thread over to the one in travel technology where you should get a better response. also, if her phone is a gsm phone and unlocked, see the sticky "
How much is a European SIM card, exactly?" in the travel tech forum. if her phone is not unlocked, inquire with your provider about getting it unlocked so you can use a french sim card.
most french sim cards allow for free incoming calls from anywhere (you only pay for outgoing calls) and the way i did it was to have a french sim with my folks calling me on a pre-paid phone card as it is cheaper than using your regular long distance service)
