MVNOs offer flexible data plans

Several mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) in France are now providing competitive mobile data plans that do not require long-term contracts, according to recent reports. These plans cater to users seeking flexibility and cost-effective options for their mobile internet needs.

RED by SFR provides a low-cost 1 GB plan

RED by SFR offers a 1 GB data plan for 1.99 euros per month on the SFR network, which has the best 5G coverage in France, according to the nPerf barometer from September 2026. The plan includes unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS, making it a good option for backup use or light data needs.

Data access is limited after consumption

Once the 1 GB data limit is reached, internet access is blocked until the next billing cycle. Users can purchase a 1 GB top-up for 2 euros, allowing them to continue using data without interrupting their service.

YouPrice offers a high-capacity plan

YouPrice provides a 200 GB plan on the Orange network for 11.99 euros per month. This includes 200 GB in France, 20 GB in the European Union and the overseas departments (DOM), and unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS. The Orange network has been ranked first in the annual Arcep survey on mobile service quality for 15 years in a row.

Orange network has eSIM limitations

The eSIM version of the YouPrice plan is available on the Orange network but comes with an additional cost of 1 euro per month. A physical SIM card costs 5 euros, adding to the initial price for users who prefer a traditional SIM card.

Auchan Télécom’s Travel Special plan

Auchan Télécom offers a Travel Special plan with 200 GB in 5G on the Bouygues Telecom network for 13.99 euros per month.

Discounts available for loyalty cardholders

Holders of the Auchan Waaoh loyalty card can receive a 2 euro discount per month, bringing the price down to 11.99 euros. This discount is only available for first-time subscribers and is lost if the user cancels the plan or changes to a different service. The plan also includes unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS in France and from Europe and the DOM.
