Subscribers of **Orange**, a major French telecommunications company, may be facing price increases across various services, according to recent reports. The company has reportedly raised the prices of mobile packages and associated fees, with some changes being automatically applied to customers' accounts. According to Que Choisir, a consumer advocacy group, one subscriber named Eric experienced an automatic increase in his three mobile packages for his household. This included an increase in data allowance from 130 to 200 GB, which Eric did not request. The report indicates that such increases could be refused by customers. However, Orange also sent an email announcing additional price increases that could not be refused. These changes included a new shipping fee of 10 euros (except for repairs), increased late return fees ranging from 100 to 300 euros depending on the equipment, and higher termination fees set at 69 euros. Que Choisir attempted to obtain clarification from Orange regarding the reasons for these increases but was unable to get a direct response. The media suspects that these price hikes may be linked to rising energy costs, which have increased Orange's operating expenses. Energy prices have risen significantly in recent years due to global supply chain issues and geopolitical tensions, affecting many industries. The situation has raised concerns among consumers and advocacy groups, who are questioning the transparency of such automatic changes. While some customers may benefit from increased data allowances, the additional fees and lack of customer control over the changes have sparked debate. The lack of a clear explanation from Orange has further fueled skepticism among its subscribers. It remains unclear whether other French telecommunications operators might follow a similar trend. If this pattern continues, it could signal a broader shift in the industry, with companies passing on increased costs to consumers. This development highlights the growing influence of energy prices on various sectors and the potential for further economic pressures on households.
