EU telecom tariffs & low‑cost bundles

Entities: SFR · Bouygues Telecom · Orange · B&You · Pure Fibre

Overview

Discount retailers and MVNOs continue to expand ultra‑low‑price 5G and data‑only bundles across the EU. In France, Lebara’s €6.99 prepaid 60 GB plan remains a reference point alongside SFR’s own 80 GB 5G offering and RED by SFR’s bundled approach.

In late July, RED by SFR added a contract‑free RED Box broadband package (1 Gbps symmetric fibre, unlimited calls and 35 TV channels) for €22.99, with optional 2 Gbps add‑on and a 4K decoder. Its 100 GB 5G mobile plan was priced at €11.99 and included a 30 GB EU/overseas roaming allowance, with further international data add‑ons.

Bouygues Telecom introduced a B&You bundle that pairs a 170 GB 5G mobile plan with a beIN Sports subscription for €21.99, effectively making the mobile component €6.99 – the cheapest 5G deal for sports fans. French ISPs also pushed streaming discounts: Free’s Freebox Ultra bundles Netflix (ads‑supported) at no extra charge; Orange’s Livebox Max offers a permanent €5 Netflix discount; SFR’s Box Power and Box Premium give €3‑5 monthly cuts on various streaming services.

SFR refreshed its mobile lineup with a 500 GB plan at €24.99 (contract‑free) for standard customers and €19.99 for existing internet‑box users, while retaining a €39.99 unlimited 5G+ option with a two‑year commitment. RED by SFR’s RED Box fibre remains the lowest‑priced contract‑free fibre offering at €22.99, reinforced by activation‑fee refunds.

These moves deepen the EU‑wide trend toward high‑data, low‑price mobile and broadband bundles that target price‑sensitive consumers and broaden 5G accessibility.
