Initially anecdotal when it was officially launched in 2020, 5G has gradually become more widespread on the most recent smartphones. And for good reason, she has no shortage of arguments. It not only allows you to benefit from better speeds, have lower latency, and also contributes to the desaturation of the connection in densely populated areas.
However, it had a major flaw, which is in the process of being resolved: its price, significantly higher than 4G. However, if the incumbent operators still offer relatively expensive plans, we have found 4 of the best low-cost 5G plans for you that should change your life.
YouPrice on the Orange network
If low-cost packages are rare on the Orange network, the latest novelty from YourPrice has it all: Entitled “The Cloud”, this subscription includes not less than 150 GB of data accessible via 5G, all for less than €10/month. And that's not all, for backpackers, the package also includes 14 GB available in Europe and the French Overseas Territories.
Reputed to be cheaper than Orange, Sosh is falling behind YouPrice which offers 50 GB of data and 5G in addition to the Sosh package billed at the same price!
Free in 5G from €8.99
If you prefer the Free network, and want to benefit from the speed of 5G, here is the offer you need: more than 100 GB of data for less than €9/month. With this package, Free pulls out all the stops and even offers 25 GB of data from Europe and the DOM! The package even gives you access to the OQEE by Free TV streaming app.
Be careful though, at least one year, the plan automatically switches to the Free 5G plan at €19.99/month, which includes 350 GB(!) of data per month. For Free subscribers, the latter will only cost €9.99 with the Freebox pop or in the case of a Free Family pack.
Lebara on the SFR network
This package from the operator Lebara combines the advantages, and is even better than Free. It allows you to benefit from the excellence of 5G like SFR, thanks to a total of 180 GB of data for €8.99/month. In addition to the quantity of data, Lebara also offers 5.5 GB in Europe and the French Overseas Territories, all without commitment.
And to save even more, the SIM card is free!
Auchan Telecom on the Bouygues Telecom network
If you don't need as much data, why not pay even less? This is what Auchan Telecom is offering with this brand new package, launched just a few days ago. This one gives access to 80 GB of data per month for a price of €6.99/month.
Without commitment, this plan will be perfect for anyone who already has Wi-Fi at home, and who doesn't need too much data. To complete the process, Auchan Telecom offers the SIM card for just €1! Not bad, right?
If the deployment of 5G is in full swing, and is already enjoying nearly 56,000 antennas spread across Francethere are still differences between them. In total, it is Free which has the most, with a total of 19,346 antennas. Bouygues Telecom is in second position with 13,288 antennas, followed by SFR which has 11,645. Last, Orange has only deployed 9,812 antennas, but focuses on more efficient frequency bands, which compensates for the gap.
Faced with this situation, before making your choice, we advise you to check that there are 5G antennas near you thanks to the map of mobile antennas.
