With the importance given nowadays to the means of communication, as soon as you arrive in France, it is necessary to make sure of your internet access and your mobile package.
In France, phone plans are very affordable and there are often discounts. Moreover, the package includes in some cases unlimited 4G and additional GB in 5G for a fee. If you want to call direct, you also have additional options that you can request to call internationally.
The general offer proposed outside of that also meets many expectations, there are unlimited calls in France and on landlines abroad, unlimited SMS/mms and several GB (you can always add more if the plan is limited but you exceed it).
It is necessary to note that it will be necessary to provide a French telephone number for many procedures which emphasizes its importance.

If you can't decide what to prioritize, we can give you some tips.
It is not necessary to pay high plans in GB generally on the short term because generally a connection is found in each student residence but also in the university Paris Saclay where it is possible to use two networks thanks to your login information. We advise you to prioritize the cost-effectiveness of the plan either by comparing the number of GB offered to another cheaper one or by looking at online reviews.
We hope you enjoy your time in France !
