MVNOs and their affordable plans

MVNOs, or virtual operators, provide low-cost mobile services, often with large data allowances. They use existing networks from major providers to offer competitive rates without building their own infrastructure.

Cdiscount Mobile's 5G package

Cdiscount Mobile, which uses the Bouygues Telecom network, offers a plan with 220 GB of 5G data in Metropolitan France for 9.99 euros per month. The package includes 37 GB of 4G data in the DOM and Europe, along with unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS.

Other available data options

Other packages from Cdiscount Mobile include 200 GB of data in France and 25 GB in Europe, or 100 GB in France with 22 GB in Europe. All these plans also include unlimited calls, making them suitable for heavy data users.

Average data usage and 5G benefits

According to ARCEP, the average monthly mobile data consumption in France was 18.3 GB by the end of 2025. 5G networks provide faster speeds and lower latency than 4G, but only compatible devices can use them.

Travel data and call restrictions

For users traveling in European countries or the DOM, a 37 GB 4G allowance is included. The package allows unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS, but users must not exceed 3 hours of call time in a single session.

Bouygues Telecom's network coverage

Bouygues Telecom covers 99% of the population and 96% of the territory in 4G, according to ARCEP. In 5G, it ranks third in Metropolitan France, behind Orange and Free, with 11,013 effective sites as of 2025.

Switching packages without losing your number

Users can switch to a different package while keeping their phone number by requesting a free change and providing their RIO. The new operator will transfer the number to the new line at no cost, ensuring a smooth transition.
