Despite the profusion of maxi data packages, the average 4G consumption per user is not very high in France. In the second quarter of 2023, it is only 15.4 GB according to the ARCEP telecoms market observatory. This means that for many French consumers, a mobile plan with a small data envelope is enough. And among the small mobile plans, Le petit de Prixtel is one of the most attractive at the moment in terms of price and quantity of gigabytes. Additionally, it is adjustable, allowing consumers to pay based on what they consume.
Why choose the Prixtel Le petit package?
As its name suggests, this mobile plan is aimed at small data consumers, that is to say those who do not use their mobile data to watch videos, listen to music or play video games in streaming. For these types of use, it is better to turn to Prixtel’s Le Grand or Le Géant packages which are also available at reduced prices.
The small one is more aimed at people who use their smartphone in a moderate way, perhaps for surfing the web, consulting and sending emails, browsing social networks, using messaging applications and other activities that are not very intensive in mobile data. For this, the subscription gives access to envelopes of 20 to 40 GB, the price of which depends on the volume of data that you have used up:
- €6.99/month for less than 20 GB consumed
- €8.99/month between 20 and 30 GB consumed
- €10.99/month between 30 and 40 GB consumed
Beyond 40 GB, the throughput is reduced.
Note that so far we are only talking about gigabytes to spend when you are in mainland France. From Europe and the French Overseas Territories, the Le petit package allows you to consume 15 GB of data. Regarding communications, calls, SMS and MMS are unlimited. You can call and send SMS/MMS as much as you want whether you are in France or abroad (Europe and Overseas Territories).
SFR network, without commitment and CO2 neutral
In addition to price and content, Prixtel’s Le petit package also has other advantages, starting with the network it uses. The MVNO relies on the infrastructure of SFR, which has become its parent company for a while. Subscribers to the Le petit package will thus have access to SFR’s 4G and 4G+ networks, whose coverage extends over nearly 96% of metropolitan territory and 99% of the French population.
The other advantage of the Le petit package is linked to the fact that it is CO2 neutral. Indeed, for each mobile plan sold, Prixtel undertakes to offset all of the CO2 emissions generated. He does this mainly by planting trees in France. By choosing the Prixtel Le Petit package, we can therefore say that you are consuming green, which will be perfect if you want to reduce your carbon footprint.
Finally, Le petit is a non-binding package, which allows subscribers to be free to cancel their subscription at any time to find a more advantageous offer, for example.
Summary of benefits:
- From 20 to 40 GB of 4G/4G+ internet in mainland France
- 15 GB of 4G internet included from the EU and the French Overseas Territories
- Unlimited calls and SMS/MMS in mainland France
- Unlimited calls and SMS/MMS from the EU and overseas territories
- SFR network coverage
- Adjustable, no-obligation package
What alternative?
Syma Mobile’s Le sept package offers 30 GB of 4G data at €7.99/month on the SFR network. It is cheaper than the second and third tiers of the Le petit plan which offer 20 GB and 30 GB respectively. However, this mobile plan is not flexible. You therefore pay €7.99/month regardless of your consumption.
