Service pricing

  • Concerning fixed telephony, you generally pay for a subscription to the operator’s network and for national and international (fixed and mobile) communications, during fixed or peak hours. 
    Most operators include in their basic offer a number of monthly free call minutes to other fixed and/or mobile telephones.
  • Concerning mobile telephony, you can:
    • Use a prepaid card (you can pay a certain amount in advance and the amounts related to your consumption are progressively deducted as you make calls);
    • Pay a fixed amount: you take out a subscription and pay a fixed amount per month; this amount entitles you to a number of free communications; you only pay the additional communications;
    • Only pay your communications.

We advise you to pay particular attention to the available promotions and add-ons which, if well chosen, can significantly reduce your monthly bill. 

Indeed, operators offer add-ons allowing to better profile you offer in relation to your actual consumption. For instance, these operators provide add-ons including a number of call minutes to foreign locations, or a monthly surcharge entitling to unlimited calls to other fixed devices. 

We invite you to look into your actual consumption profile available in the customer page that your operator provides to its subscribers on its website and to use it manually or automatically in our tariff comparison tool.
