Free Mobile offers unlimited LTE data for Freebox customers

Free Mobile has increased the LTE data allowance available with its top-tier mobile tariff for customers subscribing to a fixed broadband Freebox package and it is now advertising the plan with "unlimited 4G". For all other customers, the monthly LTE data allowance has increased to 100 GB. 

The monthly subscription is unchanged at EUR 15.99 for Freebox customers and EUR 19.99 for other customers. A lower data allowance applies for 3G data and with handsets that are not compatible with the operator’s LTE network, which currently covers nearly 80 percent of the population.

The introduction of the increased LTE data allowance, which applies to both new and existing customers, follows Free Mobile’s announcement on 14 March of an improved roaming offer available for all subscribers of the mobile plan.

SFR takeover rumours resurface as Altice struggles to turnaround French results

In the last quarter of 2017, the total number of Sims (excluding M2M) in France grew to 65.6 million, a small increase of 0.3 percent compared to Q3 2017. SFR saw a drop of 1.3 percent in its total customer base, while Free recorded a 12 percent gain.  All operators lost prepaid Sims, with SFR showing the largest decline due to a clean-up of inactive prepaid cards. All four operators gained postpaid customers, but showed a clear difference in their performance. SFR only added 50,000 postpaid Sims, while Bou

Volatile French mobile market set for further pressure on service revenues

The French mobile market has been adding Sims for the last few years without fail, but mobile service revenues show a far more volatile picture, going up and down over the last few quarters.

European mobile pricing: time for data to go unlimited

The European mobile market appears set to break through a key barrier: moving from set data bundles to truly unlimited data plans. While Asian markets like Japan have had unlimited data for years and T-Mobile drove the US market in the past year to embrace unlimited everything, Europe saw most unlimited data offers disappear with the advent of 4G. Operators wanted to cash in on their network investments and reverted to charging more for data, with only a few lucky subscribers holding on to old plans with un
