Lebara, a mobile virtual network operator that uses the SFR network in France, has launched a new mobile plan offering 250 GB of 5G data for 7.99 euros per month. This plan includes 8 GB of data for use while traveling within the European Union and the overseas departments (DOM), along with unlimited calls and SMS within France. The SIM card is free, and the plan automatically renews every 30 days without any long-term contract. The offer is currently available directly through Lebara’s website. This mobile plan is designed to serve as a primary internet connection for individuals in specific situations, such as students living in small apartments, people staying in seasonal rentals, or those waiting for fiber-optic internet installation at their homes. The 250 GB data allowance can support a single person's internet needs, including remote work, video calls, and streaming on devices like laptops or tablets. Compared to traditional fixed broadband, which often involves installation fees and long setup times, this mobile option provides greater flexibility and lower costs. However, the plan has a few limitations. The 8 GB of roaming data is significantly less than the 250 GB available in France, which could be used up quickly if someone is streaming content during extended trips. Additionally, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is not included, although most modern smartphones can use Rich Communication Services (RCS) for sending photos and videos. The plan renews every 30 days, which might result in the renewal date shifting slightly within the month. Users can cancel the plan at any time and request a free SIM card if needed. BNP Paribas is also offering a student package that includes a Visa card, free international payments, a low-interest loan at 0.99%, and up to 175 euros in additional benefits. Other similar mobile plans from Lebara include options with 200 GB and 350 GB of data, with varying amounts of data available for use in Europe. To keep the same phone number when switching to a new plan, users can call 3179 to obtain their RIO number and provide it when ordering the new service.
