What are the 3 best flexible mobile plans of the moment?
First of all, it is important that you identify your needs in terms of mobile plans. To get an idea of what each operator offers, check out our comparison of the best mobile plans of 2023. If the freedom of flexible plans appeals to you, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are the best virtual operators (MVNO) who offer packages that adapt to your consumption.
- Prixtel: up to 210 GB of data
- Lebara: the plan that is renewed every month
- YouPrice: the choice between the SFR or Orange network
1. Prixtel offers up to 210 GB in its adjustable plan
Prixtel offers several flexible packages on the SFR network. The small Oxygen plan is ideal for those who do not use 4G or 5G on their smartphone. You get 30GB of 4G data, priced at €6.99 per month. This plan can go up to 70 GB, for € 10.99 per month.
However, if you need to use the 70 GB of data in this package, be aware that the Le Grand package, which is much more profitable, starts at 100 GB of 4G data for €9.99 per month. It goes up to 160 GB at the price of € 15.99 per month.
Finally, the superior package, called Le Géant, goes up to 210 GB of 5G data at a price of €21.99 per month. This plan is the most generous in terms of data and its price is correct, especially since 5G is free.
These plans are non-binding and a 5G option is available for the Oxygène and Le Grand plans, for an additional €5 per month. You will have to pay the amount of the SIM card of 10 € when ordering. Prixtel’s plans are flexible, and are therefore not restricted to a certain amount of data each month. If, and only if, you exceed the current data level over the month, you go to the next level. Each month, the offer returns to its minimum quantity of data, and to its lowest price. Finally, calls, SMS and MMS are unlimited to mobiles and landlines in mainland France and overseas departments (excluding Mayotte). You have more than 15 GB to use in the EU and overseas departments.
2. Lebara: the plan that renews every month
Lebara offers several monthly packages, from 20 GB of data to 130 GB of data in 4G+, from €5.99 per month, and up to €13.99 per month. The packages are non-binding and their price does not change after the first year. Note that the SIM card is free.
The packages offered by the virtual operator Lebara use the infrastructures of the Orange network. These are all flexible plans that renew every 30 days, so you can switch plans at the start of each month for a different amount of data, if needed. This will allow you to switch from one plan to another, depending on the amount of data you will need in the month.
The package includes unlimited calls and SMS from mainland France, Europe and the overseas departments, as well as unlimited calls to 43 international destinations.
3. YouPrice: the choice between Orange or SFR
Like Prixtel, YouPrice offers different adjustable packages. The Le One plan starts with 40 GB of data for €7.99 per month, and goes up to 60 GB for €10.99 per month.
The classic Le First plan provides you with 100 GB of data for €9.99 per month, and up to 120 GB for €14.99 per month.
Finally, the package called the Optimal starts at 130 GB of data for €13.99 per month, and goes up to 200 GB of data for €18.99 per month.
These plans are non-binding and a 5G option is available, at an additional €5 per month. Note that you will have to pay the amount of the SIM card, which is €10, when ordering. For those who are interested, there is a mini package called Mini (the world is well done) which only offers 5 GB of data at a price of €4.99 per month. YouPrice uses the Orange and SFR networks and lets you choose which network you want. Between 5 GB and 20 GB of 4G data per month, depending on the package chosen, can be used from Europe and the overseas departments. They will be consumed on your global envelope. Unlimited calls, SMS and MMS from France, Europe and overseas departments to France are included.
