About SFR in France
SFR (Société Française du Radiotéléphone) was created in 1987 by the Compagnie Générale des Eaux (which later became known as Vivendi) and soon became a major actor in the French mobile phone market. The company entered the landline telephone market when it deregulated in 1997 and has been offering internet plans since 2007. In 2014 SFR was bought by cable operator and telecommunications services company Numericable, which led to the creation of the Numericable-SFR group owned by Altice. Finally, in April 2016, the Numericable-SFR group disappeared, operating now under the SFR Group.
SFR offers include Internet plans, mobile phone plans, prepaid SIM cards, as well as phone and internet bundles + the option of Television or SFR TV.
In 2011 SFR launched a low-cost brand, RED by SFR, through which it offers no-contract mobile phone and internet plans (sans engagement).
- SFR is a key player in the French telecoms market
- More than 11.2 billion € of turnover declared in 2023
- 27 million subscribers
- First telecommunications operator to offer 3G, 4G, and 5G in France
- SFR 5G network covers 70% of the population in France

What is SFR Network Coverage?
SFR Internet Coverage in France
SFR has developed its own fibre optic (FttH) network. More than 33 million homes can access to very high speed (FttH and FttLA) from SFR in France. The downstream speed can theoretically reach 8 Gbit/s, depending on your location.
FttH offers (Fiber Box), deliver the fastest speeds among all the technologies deployed by SFR. However, the majority of very high speed SFR customers are not connected to Fibre Optic technology but to Fibre Coaxial or cable offers (FttLA). The FttLA network is none other than the vast network of the former cable operator Numericable. After the merger between Numericable and SFR, SFR took over this network to deploy very high speed offers.
In FttLA, the fibre optic line does not reach the interior of the property but stops at an optical node at the exterior of the building or street. The last meters of connection are made using a coaxial cable, which explains the speeds slightly lower than those of FttH. The SFR FttLA offers are grouped together under the name Box THD (for Très Haut Débit or Very High Speed).
Consult the ARCEP map (French telecommunications regulator) to find out about the country's fibre coverage and the eligibility status of your home for SFR fibre offers.
SFR Mobile France Network Coverage
According to the most recent surveys done by the French telecommunications regulator ARCEP, SFR's network coverage is more or less the same as other French Telecoms companies for 4G and 5G coverage (SFR covers 99.91% of the population for 4G and 70% for 5G in 2024).
SFR's service quality is relatively strong, comparable to Orange, Bouygues Telecom and ahead of Free Mobile.
What is the best SFR Mobile Plans in France?
SFR offers a wide range of mobile phone plans, organized into two categories 4G+ and 5G. These plans give you the option to purchase the SIM card only, or select a new phone to go with the contract. It might be worth noting that for SIM only plans, you are normally under a 12-month contract (engagement 12 mois), however if you get a new phone through an SFR plan you will be under a 24-month contract (engagement 24 mois).
Prices range from 5,99€/month to 39,99€/month per month during the first 6 months of the contract (without internet client discounts).

- 60 Gb with a mobile phone (5G)
- 210 Gb with a mobile phone (5G)
- 240 Gb with a mobile phone (5G)
In exchange for a 24-month contract, these mobile plans give access to discounts on the purchase of a mobile phone.
Two of them are international packages (210 and 240 GB plans) since they allow you to call or send SMS and MMS to the US, Canada and China.
The most complete plan (240Gb) includes 100 Go of data internet in Europe and DOM (french oversea territories) and 30GB in 16 destinations: USA, Canada, Australie, Brésil, Chine, Émirats-Arabes-Unis (Dubaï), Hong-Kong, Inde, Indonésie, Israël, Japon, Mexique, Russie, Singapour, Thaïlande et Turquie.
