Free, B&You, RED, Orange: here are the best cheap 5G plans of the moment

This time, we can say it: 5G has never been as affordable as it is today. At the moment, there are indeed very interesting low-cost mobile plans with most operators to take advantage of this ultra-fast network, sometimes even at less than 20 euros per month.

Unfortunately this offer is now over. Don't panic, you can find the best deals currently available on Frandroid or on our Twitter Frandroid Bons Plans

With the recent arrival of Orange in the no-commitment plan market, there are more and more operators offering low-cost 5G mobile plans. Some offers are also as advantageous as their 4G equivalents and we have grouped them together so that you can make the best choice. Here is our selection of the best 5G offers of the moment.

5G packages on sale

Free's 5G package: the cheapest

Free has a unique 150GB 5G package at an unbeaten price since it is the only to be offered for less than 20 euros per month. It is also the operator with the largest number of 3.5 GHz antennas with 1,773 sites, mostly located in large cities and towns. Of course, 4G is also available in this package, remember to have a smartphone compatible with the 700 MHz frequency.

150GB is also the most extensive package in this selection. These data can be used everywhere in France. The package also offers unlimited calls, SMS and MMS from mainland France, as well as from Europe and the overseas departments to a French number. More than 100 fixed destinations are included on the call side, always unlimited.

For abroad, 25 GB can be used in 4G and 5G in Europe, DOM. This is a much smaller envelope than the competition, however.

Free's 5G offer is 19.99 euros per month for new customers and without time limits. Freebox subscribers are even entitled to an unlimited 5G plan for 9.99 euros per month, the most economical offer available.

Orange: it's finally without obligation!

Orange has recently changed its philosophy regarding its mobile plans, which are now offered without any commitment whatsoever for 4G or 5G. For the latter we selected the 120 GB package at 20.99 euros for one year before going back to 32.99 euros. It is certainly a price valid for one year, but it is quite possible to change operator before the price change, something impossible before.

The big advantage of Orange is its network infrastructure. By opting for an Orange plan, you are guaranteed to have access to quality 5G. Today, more than 100 municipalities and large cities are covered in 5G and the year 2022 should be exponential on this side. The theoretical speed can reach 2.1 Gbit/s in reception and up to 126 Mbit/s in transmission. This package gives access to an envelope of 120 GB available everywhere in France whether in 5G and 4G. 70GB can also be used in the Europe, DOM, Switzerland and Andorra zones.

In addition to 5G, this package is unlimited on the communication side: calls, SMS and MMS without limits anywhere in France.

Orange's 120 GB 5G plan is listed at 20.99 euros per month for the first year and goes back to 32.99 euros monthly thereafter. This is a non-binding offer, so you have the option of changing your package before the deadline.

B&You: the Bouygues network above all

It is one of the incumbent operators that has invested the fastest in 5G and which continues to install its infrastructures at high speed. Bouygues 5G is now installed in around thirty cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants and aims to achieve total coverage of the territory by the end of 2021.

This low-cost, non-binding 5G plan from B&You offers up to 130 GB in fair-use to be used anywhere in France. Again, the speed can be measured up to 1Gb / s thanks to the 1641 5G sites with a frequency of 3.5 GHz and which can give you a theoretical speed of 2.1 Gbit / s for downloading.

Here too, this package offers unlimited calls, SMS and MMS in Metropolitan France, as well as from Europe and the overseas departments to a French number. 20 GB can be used in Europe and overseas departments and are deducted from the basic envelope

The current 5G offer at B&you is 24.99 euros per month and still without obligation.

RED by SFR: 5G at a round price

RED is the first non-binding operator to have launched its affordable 5G offer in parallel of its 4G offers. This 130 GB plan is only 5 euros per month more than the 4G offer.

Even if 5G is not yet available everywhere in France, you will still benefit from 4G thanks to almost complete coverage of the territory. On the other hand, SFR's 5G is available in the majority of large cities with 5G-certified antennas, more than 1,671 sites with 3.5 GHz frequency. For abroad, RED entitles you to an envelope of 15 GB to use the internet from the European Union and the overseas departments, whether in 5G or 4G.

Apart from the speed, you will be entitled to the same advantages as the other plans with unlimited calls to all mobiles and landlines in mainland France and overseas departments (excluding Mayotte) and unlimited SMS, MMS to all operators in mainland France.

RED's 5G plan is 24 euros per month and is available at this price until midnight tonight. It would not be surprising, however, if this offer were extended for a few more days.
