Note that although you can use the SIM in Austria and Italy, you cannot get local numbers there, and outgoing calls are 28p within the EU and £1.02 to North America.
You should be able to activate and use in NL.
Supposedly the French number will disappear after 30 days,I believe you can just get another one at that point. If it is important to you to keep the same number, you can pay £5 and keep the number for a year.
Note that your caller ID will always show the UK number.
Were you able to use a Canadian credit card to order the SIM?

I also plan on being in France for an extended period. Will the French number expire after 30 days and if so, do I just renew it or get a new one?
