At SNCF you can order, pay for and receive a valid ticket simply by picking up the phone!

To book or buy tickets and have them sent to your home address free of charge, simply call 36 35 (€0.34/min incl. VAT)
and say "billet" ("ticket") or press 3. This service is available from 7 am until 10 pm,
7 days a week.

Even better, on the TER regional train network, SNCF is currently testing a virtual ticket that will be displayed on the screen of your mobile phone. Do you dream of freedom, convenience and mobility? Just use your WAP-enabled mobile phone to go to www.tikefone.com , enter your mobile number, select "ACHAT" ("BUY"), choose the event you want (for the moment, this idea is being tested on cultural and tourist events) then choose your departure point and the day and time you wish to travel.
Confirmation will be sent to you by text message a few minutes after the transaction. Your ticket, valid for one day, will appear as an image (MMS) on your mobile phone screen, which you simply show to ticket inspectors at the station or on the train.
