Sources: 216. Developments: 146. The wave of ultra‑low‑price mobile and broadband offers that began in late April 2026 continued through July and August. German discount providers expanded flexible data bundles: sparSIM launched a €9.99 Flex M plan with 70 GB on Vodafone’s 5G network, while Handyhelden paired a 20 GB Telekom‑based flat with Sennheiser headphones. Unlimited Mobile entered the market with a €14.99 unlimited‑5G tariff on O2. In France, competition intensified through August. YouPrice expanded its network flexibility, allowing customers to select between SFR, Bouygues Telecom, or Orange. For example, a 50 GB plan costs €5.99 on SFR, €6.99 on Bouygues Telecom, and €7.99 on Orange. Their 200 GB 5G/4G plan is available for €9.99 on SFR and Bouygues Telecom, or €11.99 on Orange. These plans include unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS, with varying data allowances for use within the European Union. Bouygues Telecom expanded its portfolio with several specialized offers. Its B&YOU brand introduced a €15.99 monthly plan providing 200 GB of data with coverage in 160 international destinations. The company also launched the ‘B&YOU Pack’ for €21.99 per month, a no-commitment bundle combining 170 GB of 5G data with access to beIN SPORTS via the b.tv application on up to two screens. In early September, Bouygues Telecom detailed its B&You Pure Fibre offer. Priced at €24.99 per month, the no-commitment service provides download speeds up to 2 Gb/s and upload speeds up to 900 Mb/s using Wi-Fi 7 technology. Notably, the plan features no scheduled price increases after the initial promotion. Customers bundling Pure Fibre with an eligible B&You mobile plan can receive a €3 monthly discount on their mobile service for twelve months. Other French budget options included Prixtel’s Oxygène plan, which automatically adjusts between three tiers (up to 140 GB) to match actual usage, and Lyca Mobile’s 250 GB offering. ## Claims - SFR launched a new mobile plan offering 500 GB of data for €24.99 per month without a contract.
