Getting connected and being able to communicate is important when you move to any new country, and France is no different. There's a wide choice of mobile and internet offers, with or without a contract, in France. Find out all you need to know about fibre or ADSL plans, with landline included and sometimes television, and find the mobile deal, that suits you best.

The low-cost brands Sosh and Red by SFR don't exactly offer this type of package. They still allow you to subscribe to both a mobile package and an internet plan. However, there is no discount on the mobile plan with these operators, if you subscribe to a bundle offer, since prices are already low.
There are several ways to contact operators: by phone, online via chat or social networks or in-store.
