What if 2023 was indeed the year of 5G? We have selected the best offers of the moment and the least we can say is that the prices are falling.
Despite the years, 5G still retains this reputation as an expensive and far from essential network. However, its use is gradually beginning to become more democratic and operators are doing everything to finally have their offers adopted, to the point of sacrificing prices. Good news therefore for consumers who can finally use their mobile under the best network conditions (at least as far as large cities are concerned). We have selected for you the best non-binding offers of the moment with prices never seen on this type of package.
The best 5G plans of the moment
B&you: 130 GB at 15.99 euros per month
The best 5G plan of the moment is undoubtedly offered by Bouygues Télécom via its B&You range. First, it clearly does not skimp on the amount of data with 130 GB of data. If you plan to travel abroad, know that you will also be entitled to an additional envelope of 30 GB from Europe and the overseas departments, but in 4G and not in 5G. This package also benefits from the quality of the Bouygues Telecom network covering nearly 99% of metropolitan France and has no less than 4,292 5G antennas (3.5 GHz), while offering one of the best voice receptions/transmissions according to Arcep.
In addition to this huge amount of 5G data, this package includes, like most non-binding offers at the moment, unlimited calls, SMS and MMS from mainland France, as well as from Europe and the overseas departments to a French number.
Currently, Bouygues Telecom’s 5G 130 GB mobile plan is available at 15.99 euros per month. A price that does not move, even after the first year.
RED by SFR: 160 GB at 18.99 euros per month
In the field of 5G, RED by SFR is often one of the operators whose offers are the most aggressive. This naturally uses the SFR network. The operator offers a non-binding 5G plan with up to 160 GB of 5G data to be used anywhere in France. Again, the speed can be measured up to 1Gb / s thanks to the 2,828 5G sites with a frequency of 3.5 GHz.
Obviously, unlimited calls, SMS and MMS are included in mainland France, as well as from Europe and the overseas departments to a French number.
The current offer for the 160 GB package at RED by SFR is 18.99 euros per month, but this time without time limits and always without commitment. If you want more data, RED also offers a 200 GB 5G package at 22.99 euros monthly.
Other 5G packages: 130 GB for 12.99 euros per month at Cdiscount, Auchan and NRJ
Here are 3 so-called “virtual” operators offering the same offer on their 5G packages: 130 GB for 12.99 euros per month, without commitment and without duration conditions. It must be said that these brands were all bought by Bouygues Télécom, a little over 2 years ago and naturally have the incumbent operator’s network. You are therefore guaranteed to obtain the same experience in terms of network performance as with a B&You plan, for example. The advantage is mainly in terms of price since these are the 5G packages offering the lowest price for this type of GB envelope.
With them, you also have unlimited calls, SMS and MMS from mainland France, as well as from Europe and the overseas departments to a French number. Be careful, however, you must not exceed 3 hours per call, within the limit of 129 recipients per month, including 99 from the EU and DOM.
Currently, the 130 GB 5G mobile plans from Cdiscount mobile, NRJ Mobile and Auchan Télécom are all available at 12.99 euros per month. Prices that won’t budge, even after the first year.
How do I keep my number?
You can of course keep your current mobile number by changing the plan. First of all, it is necessary to add 10 euros to the total of your order to obtain the new triple-cut SIM. The change of operator is then made without interruption if you keep your number. It’s free and just provide the RIO code of your line when registering. If you don’t know how to proceed, consult our tutorial to request your RIO.
