Do you know RED? This virtual operator has been offering low-cost mobile plans operating under the SFR network for many years. Here are the current offers with this operator.
RED by SFR is the low-cost subsidiary of the French operator SFR, offering telecommunications services at competitive rates. Launched in 2011, RED offers mobile plans, Internet box packages and even TV packages at attractive prices, adopting a no-commitment model. The operator has been able to find its customers thanks to its simple pricing, generous data envelopes, as well as roaming services abroad.
Although RED is a separate entity from SFR, it takes advantage of its parent company’s network infrastructure to offer extensive coverage and quality services to its subscribers. This approach has allowed the operator to position itself as an attractive alternative in the telecommunications market in France.

What mobile plans are offered by RED by SFR in 2023?
Before talking about the network, RED SFR is known for its competitive prices, especially compared to what SFR can offer. Even to the point that one would think that it is not the same structure. All packages offered by RED are non-binding, so it is possible to cancel a subscription at any time, without additional costs. Unlike other virtual operators, RED is quite generous in terms of free roaming in Europe, but also regularly offers subscriptions to SVoD streaming applications, or even exclusive and one-off benefits.
Of course, RED benefits from extensive network coverage thanks to SFR’s infrastructure. According to Arcep, it is rather well placed in the top mobile networks in France, at least ahead of Free, whether in 4G or 5G.

Can I get an eSIM with a RED by SFR plan?
All mobile plans offered by RED by SFR are compatible with eSIM. When ordering, you can choose between a physical SIM card and an eSIM. Everything is offered at the same prices as classic SIM cards and 10 euros are also required for activation.
What are the other options on RED by SFR packages?
Note that the operator also offers packages which can be accompanied by a smartphone as with traditional operators (Orange, Bouygues Télécom, Free and SFR). However, unlike the latter, RED does not offer the possibility of smoothing the cost of the smartphone as with certain virtual operators such as Coriolis.
We are simply entitled to a small discount on the most recent models. Example of a basket for a 200 GB plan with a 128 GB iPhone 15:
RED by SFR also has a fairly extensive “more products” policy by offering a good list of paid options after selecting your package. This involves classic options like cheaper international calls or the consultation function, but there are also options regarding VOD services with cheaper subscriptions.
It’s a shame to see that certain features are offered as options while they are sometimes free with other operators like Bouygues Télécom and its B&You packages for example.
How can I contact RED by SFR customer service?
To contact RED by SFR customer service, dial 1023 from your RED by SFR phone or the 09 70 83 1023 from another operator. If you prefer online assistance, log in to your customer area on the RED by SFR website and use online chat.
Finally, you can go in person to an SFR network store for help.
How can I cancel a plan with RED by SFR?
Mobile plans from RED are now offered without commitment. If you wish to subscribe to a new operator by requesting telephone number portability, the latter takes care of everything. This procedure requires your new operator to take steps to cancel your old subscription. It therefore saves you the hassle of sending a letter and allows you to get a good deal by taking advantage of the competition. Don’t hesitate to take a look at our mobile plan comparator. With this method, you keep your mobile number, which is transparent to your contacts.
For this method, it is necessary first read the RIO number, that is to say the unique number allowing you to precisely identify the subscription linked to your telephone line. To find out, simply dial 3179, a toll-free number. After the call, an SMS is automatically sent and includes the RIO number, the line number as well as the possible end date of the commitment.
Once the subscription of the new operator has been chosen and your RIO number in your possession, all that remains is to subscribe.
A RED 4G mobile plan does not require fixed termination fees as is the case with a RED Box or a 5G plan. In the case of a package with or without commitment and all monthly payments due have been paid, you can cancel or change operators free of charge.
