Xavier Niel, President of Free, gave a one-man show on the Olympia stage on September 18, 2024. It was an opportunity for the billionaire to answer the question “How to become a billionaire?”, but also to promote his new book “Une sacrée envie de foutre le bordel”.
The mess, in fact, he put it in the telephone packages, making Free the cheapest operator on the French market. With its €2 package, Free, by launching itself as a mobile operator, allowed two things. The first, being to offer a really cheap package to everyone, the second, being to lower the prices of telephone subscriptions in France.
Because in fact, if not everyone has a Free plan, the operator has at least been able to lower prices in general, for all its competitors. So, should we see Xavier Niel as a benefactor? Not so sure, when we see that the prices of Freebox subscriptions are generally the same price as the competition. In any case, concerning mobile subscriptions, we can say yes.
The €2 package will never increase
The President of Free announced during his one-man show that the price of the €2 package will never change. This package will remain at €2 indefinitely, Xavier Niel having announced:
We will never change the price of the €2 package.
The President of Free had already made a humorous but serious video in 2022, where he announced that the prices would not change, without however giving a precise date concerning this maintenance of the prices at their current price.
Now it’s done, the President of Free has set the price of the package at €2, which will never change, a gesture for purchasing power which is welcome.
