To summarize:
What are the criteria for choosing a Prixtel mobile plan?
4G/4G+ and 5G networks by Prixtel
Prixtel offers 4G/4G+ plans and possibly 5G only on Le Géant plans. The Prixtel software package allows you to benefit from SFR networks.
By choosing a Prixtel plan, you will benefit from the same network quality as an SFR user. This is because since 2013, network operators are obliged to provide MVNO customers with the same quality of service as their own customers.
Regarding the SFR network, it is important to note that it covers 99.7% of the French population on 4G/4G+, and 5G has covered more than 450 cities. On the 3.5 GHz band, 4G+ speeds up to 500 Mbit/s and 5G speeds up to 2 Gbit/s.
To understand the network coverage, here is the network coverage map of SFR:

your data needs
Prixtel offers non-binding mobility plans with flexible data envelopes. So if you don’t have a fixed data envelope that you pay monthly, even if you rarely use it, at Prixtel your billing is based on your consumption.
You only pay for the amount of data you use. These flexible packages are Prixtel’s great strength. This avoids, for example, having to pay for a 100 GB package when you only use 40.
Conversely, if your data needs to change within a month, you don’t have to worry. You can keep your current plan for a little extra.
Prixtel or classic carrier, which one to choose?
Assuming that the network quality should be exactly the same between Prixtel and SFR, the choice between Prixtel as an MVNO and SFR as a legacy operator will be largely based on price and even activation speed of the package.
Therefore, Prixtel has the advantage of offering a non-binding package with the same network quality but at a more attractive price.

Is it easy to cancel your Prixtel plan?
To terminate a Prixtel package, all you have to do is accessClient area. in the category Wireyou will have to choose the option my line management.
Once confirmed, the line will be permanently terminated within 10 days. It’s important to note that Prixtel doesn’t invoice in advance like other carriers, but defaults. This is what allows billing to adapt to the previous month’s consumption. Therefore, upon termination, the final invoice associated with the last month of the subscription as well as the final direct debit will be issued one month after termination.
Due to the flexibility of the plan, regardless of the date the plan is terminated, you will be billed based on consumption in the month of termination.
Finally, if you want to keep your phone number, you can simply ask your new carrier to restore your line.
Why choose Prixtel over Cdiscount Mobile, La Poste Mobile or others?
As mentioned above, Prixtel offers progressive packages that include delinquent bills that suit your spending. Other MVNOs and even carriers do not allow flexible data selection. They also offer a lot of promotions, so you never know if it’s the right time to subscribe. Often happens to pick up a bag, only to realize after a few days that it has become a lot cheaper, or the amount of data is not right.
With Prixtel, you won’t risk leaving your package. You’ll avoid running out of data, and you’ll be able to plan ahead for what you’ll pay at the end of the month. You no longer have to wait for one-off promotions or prayer package prices to drop.
Prixtel, on the other hand, doesn’t really run promotions. The package is always advertised as being discounted for a limited time, but in reality it’s almost always the same price. There are occasional commercial events. But in general, don’t worry if you miss out on the “big” sale, because you can benefit from the same interesting prices later on.
How do I change my Prixtel plan?
If you already use Prixtel, to change your plan you must go to your Client area then in section line and click the button change plan in the tab my line management.
Then select the desired package to view its contents and price. All you have to do is choose an application date, either immediately (you have to pay 1.99 euros) or at the beginning of the following month (changes will then be free).
If you are from another carrier, simply communicate your Statement of Carrier Identity (RIO) to Prixtel to complete the termination process and activate your new plan.
