How to choose your mobile plan: the different types of mobile plan

Unlimited plan, without commitment, blocked, international abroad, 4G, 5G compatible... It is not always easy to choose from the plethora of offers offered by the many mobile phone providers. Before subscribing, it is important to study the different types of plans to find the one that is best suited to your needs and finances and, ultimately, select the appropriate mobile operator.

Each plan meets these usage and budget criteria. There are mainly two types of mobile phone plan:

The classic mobile plan with commitment implies, as its name suggests, to commit to a contract for a period of 12 or 24 months. The longer the commitment period, the lower the bill for the package. In general, this is a commitment package with mobile (the price of the latter is included in the subscription). The only drawback: the complexity of the termination.

Conversely, the non-binding mobile offer allows you to terminate your subscription contract without notice, at any time. The customer is not bound to any long-term contract and can leave the operator whenever he wishes, free of charge, to switch to the competition. Unlike the plan with commitment, the telephone is generally not provided (the operators themselves do not subsidize the purchase of the device). A non-binding mobile plan is rarely offered because it is more expensive.

In addition to the flat rate with international calls included, subscribers to a classic mobile offer (with or without commitment) can also opt for the unlimited flat rate. Quite affordable, the unlimited allows the consumer to call without worrying about running out of minutes as well as SMS and MMS provided in the package.

IMPORTANT: the classic plans offer a more or less significant data envelope, depending in particular on the customer's Internet surfing rate. The most modest users will be able to settle for 1 gigabyte (GB), while a data envelope of at least 5 GB will be more suitable for watching streaming videos on a daily basis, for example.

For information, 1 GB is equivalent to listening to approximately two hours of streaming music or surfing the Internet for 60 hours.

For those who wish to strictly control their expenses and, in particular, avoid paying additional charges for exceeding the call hours or the SMS/MMS quota included in their plan, there is a solution: the blocked plan. Often chosen by parents looking for a first subscription for their child, these packages avoid the risk of going beyond their initial budget. Once this is reached, it is impossible to call (except to call for help). Another possible option: mobile plans without Internet (only for telephone calls, SMS and MMS).

NOTE: apart from the various mobile plans mentioned in this article, it is also possible to turn to the prepaid mobile card (of a defined and limited duration, it is rechargeable).

Mobile plans 2022: MNO versus MVNO

As a reminder, Orange (formerly France Telecom), SFR (a subsidiary of Altice), Bouygues Télécom (subsidiary of the Bouygues group) and Free (subsidiary of the Illiad) are the four major telephone operators currently in France. Also called MNO (for Mobile Network Operator) - they have their own mobile networks, purchased from the competent authorities such as the National Frequency Agency (ANFR).

The major quartet of mobile operators offers a fairly substantial range of packages, either in its own name or through its commercial brand (at least for Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom). Plan subscriptions can be combined with smartphones, available at a lower cost in return for a 24-month commitment.

On the occasion of the arrival of mobile offers at low prices and without commitment from Free Mobile, the other major operators in turn launched in 2011 ranges of packages at affordable prices without commitment, through a commercial brand . It is :

MNOs differ in this from "virtual" operators (or MVNO, for Mobile Virtual Network Operator). Arrived on the French market in 2005, the latter have neither a mobile network nor an infrastructure: they are therefore obliged to sign a contract with an MNO in order to be able to use its network.

The main MVNOs include (non-exhaustive list):

Most MVNO offers are non-binding, and they do not offer discount phones.

Coriolis Telecom's 4G flat-rate offers without commitment

The operator Coriolis Telecom, whose mobile offers operate on the SFR network , not only offers packages with a long-term commitment (12 or 24 months), but also packages that allow subscribers to terminate their contract with the MVNO at any time.

There are five 4G plans without commitment (including a 5G compatible, limited edition) that are in the catalog of the Coriolis Telecom online store:

These low-cost packages may be subject to promotions, their price benefiting from a significant discount the first year before returning to their traditional amount after 12 months. These discounts are available exclusively via the operator's website and apply only to new subscriptions.

This is the case with the unlimited calls plan with a monthly budget of 2 GB of data: it is displayed at 4.99 euros during the first year (then 9.99 euros from the thirteenth month) . Within the same period, the package offering 30 GB of data is offered at 7.99 euros per month for 12 months, then 14.99 euros per month.

If the cost of activating the SIM card (mandatory to take advantage of your mobile plan) generally costs 10 euros with operators, they amount to only 1 euro with Coriolis Telecom.

4G mobile offers without commitment from NRJ Mobile

NRJ Mobile offers three Woot 4G mobile plans without commitment:

The virtual operator (or MVNO) also offers, on an ad hoc basis, non-binding mobile plan offers outside of its traditional range.

People who subscribe to this offer before this deadline pay only 3.99 euros per month during the first year, then 7.99 euros per month.

Another offer was also available for subscription until January 27, 2022: a non-binding package with 60 GB of data. The price: 7.99 euros per month the first year, then 14.99 euros per month the following months.

4G flat-rate offers without commitment of CIC Mobile

Since November 2021, CIC bank branches no longer offer ranges of non-binding mobile phone plans that were distributed by the MVNO CIC Mobile. From now on, CIC customers can turn to non-binding offers (such as the Prompto range) provided directly by Bouygues Telecom.

Non-binding offers are available from the CIC website.

Crédit Mutuel Mobile's 4G flat-rate offers

Like CIC Mobile, Crédit Mutuel Mobile no longer offers non-binding mobile plans in its name. It is now Bouygues Telecom, which has got hold of a group that oversees the two virtual operators (MVNO), which markets mobile offers without commitment within the network of Crédit Mutuel bank branches.

All non-binding mobile plan offers available to Crédit Mutuel customers are available on the bank's website.

Auchan Telecom's 4G flat-rate offers without commitment

Auchan Telecom markets two 4G mobile plans without commitment (one with 2 hours of calls and unlimited SMS/MMS, the other completely unlimited ). But the data envelopes of each of these offers can each be personalized using three paid options (which therefore makes six different mobile plans). In addition, there are occasional promotional offers, such as the “all unlimited” series with 30 GB of data.

The package including 2 hours of calls is one of the cheapest offers on the market. It includes unlimited SMS and MMS in mainland France and a data envelope that ranges (depending on the option chosen) from 20 MB to 10 GB of mobile Internet.

De facto, the offer is more focused on the needs of families, with small low-cost packages that are suitable for teenagers. For information, the activation of the SIM card generates 10 euros of costs.

The prices of the two packages without commitment of duration and adjustable from Auchan Telecom are shown in this table:

International call options are chargeable and vary depending on the destination of the call (from 5 to 12 euros).

Cdiscount Mobile's 4G flat-rate offers

Cdiscount Mobile offers no-commitment mobile phone subscriptions, to which are added one-off promotional offers. Each of these formulas is sufficient to cover a broad spectrum of consumer needs.

The non-binding 4G plans available on the Cdiscount Mobile website are as follows:

These non-binding promotional offers with unlimited calls and SMS/MM, offered by Cdiscount Mobile, run until January 27, 2022 inclusive.

Still in terms of mobile telephony, Cdiscount Mobile does not miss special operations either, such as Black Friday and French Days.

Cdiscount Mobile's non-binding 4G packages are listed in the table below:

Mobile plans with phone

The mobile plan with phone is an offer that meets the needs of people who wish to take out a subscription allowing them to buy a new phone without having to pay a substantial sum at once. When subscribing to the mobile plan, the customer pays an amount corresponding to part of the price of the mobile. Then, he pays an additional amount each month (in addition to the price of his plan) to reimburse the device.

Mobile subscriptions with telephone therefore only concern offers with commitment, of 12 or 24 months. Unlike subsidized offers, mobile plans without commitment do not offer advantages in terms of the cost of purchasing a smartphone (in other words, you have to pay the normal price to acquire the mobile).

WARNING: some operators, like SFR, offer plans with commitment without purchasing a mobile phone and 24-month plans with a preferential rate for the purchase of a new smartphone.

Orange, SFR, Bouygues Télécom: mobile plans with telephone

Three traditional mobile telephone operators (but not Free) offer, subject to a 12 or 24 month commitment, 4G plans with a smartphone subsidized. Here are the plans that it is possible to subscribe to (for the current rates in 2021, see the tables above):

Packages with telephone from MVNO operators

The virtual telecom operators (MVNO), which do not have their own network – unlike the so-called “classic” operators, offer, for some, mobile packages which allow, in exchange for a long-term commitment , access to a mobile phone at an advantageous price (sometimes from 1 euro).

Thus, La Poste Mobile, Coriolis Mobile or even CIC Mobile (and therefore Crédit Mutuel Mobile, since they belong to the same group) market subsidized packages.

The table below lists the MVNOs that offer mobile plans with subsidized smartphones:

Unlimited mobile phone plans

Most mobile phone operators offer mobile plans highlighting the qualifier “unlimited”. In reality, there are a multitude of so-called unlimited plans, each corresponding to very specific consumer needs (see the tables above).

Thus, the unlimited aspect can concern:

Today, most plans offer unlimited calls and SMS/MMS together. These offers are intended for all people regardless of their budget, since one can now obtain such a package for less than 10 euros per month.

However, it is better to read the many asterisks in the advertisements or on the sites of the operators. In particular, it is necessary to check the place from which these calls and messages can be made and their destination (to fixed or mobile numbers in mainland France, for example). This will avoid having communications billed outside the package.

There are also “all unlimited” plans, which include calls, SMS/MMS and unlimited Internet, in France and abroad. Without real surprise, they are displayed at much higher prices than the average.

In reality, unlimited plans are often…limited. Thus, operators often block the number of possible recipients of calls and/or messages. Similarly, a call often cannot exceed 2 or 3 hours in a row, otherwise it will become out of the plan.

Blocked mobile plans offers

Blocked mobile plans are not in the range of several operators. The main interest of these packages is to rigorously control both your budget and your telephone consumption. This is why this type of subscription is more advisable and recommended for the youngest (children and adolescents). But the blocked package is also of interest to seniors, who want to avoid seeing their mobile bill climb at the end of the month.

First and foremost, you need to determine the telephony and mobile internet needs of the holder of the mobile plan. It is therefore important to take a closer look at the characteristics so as not to subscribe to an offer with services that would ultimately not be useful.

Once the communication time is exhausted, the plan is automatically blocked. With a blocked plan, it is therefore the guarantee of a fixed price invoice. In some cases, it is still possible to benefit from unlimited SMS and MMS (for plans that offer it).

When subscribing to the blocked package, it is possible to activate or not the blocking option free of charge on request.

NOTE: Blocked subscriptions are offered on promotion much less often than before, with operators highlighting unlimited offers instead.

Blocked mobile plans from major operators

Three of the four main operators (Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom) offer, under their own name or via their low-cost brand (Sosh, RED by SFR and B& You) blocked mobile plans.

Orange sells two 4G subscriptions in blocked versions:

Its Sosh brand offers a blocked 100 MB 4G plan, with 2 hours of blocked calls.

For its part, SFR has marketed a single blocked plan: the 2-hour 100 MB plan (also available in the classic version). RED by SFR offers a version blocked on Internet use on its single package with 100 GB.

For its part, Bouygues Telecom offers two blocked 4G offers in its Sensation series:

His low-cost brand B&You sells a 4G plan with 100 MB of mobile data (at 4.99 euros per month) which is not strictly speaking blocked. However, this service allows you to obtain this option for free, as well as a “parental control” function free of charge.

Locked mobile plans: what do MVNOs offer?

The major operators are not the only ones to offer locked plans. Some virtual operators (MVNO) market them. This is particularly the case:

How to cancel your mobile plan?

Whether with or without a commitment, it is quite possible to cancel your mobile phone plan. All you have to do is notify your operator by sending a registered termination letter with acknowledgment of receipt. To view our termination letter template, click here.

The termination of a non-binding package can be done at any time, without notice. This generally does not generate any costs.

What about a package with commitment? For a commitment period of 12 months, the early termination fees correspond to the amount remaining due to your operator. For a period of 24 months, it is necessary to add a quarter (25%) of the monthly payments remaining between the twelfth and the twenty-fourth month, in accordance with the Chatel law of 2008.
