Frequently asked questions about telecom referrals

Which mobile operator offers the best referral in 2026?

In 2026, Orange offers the highest combined bonus with up to €100 split between referrer and referee. Bouygues Telecom and SFR each offer up to €50. Free Mobile offers 1 free month of subscription. If you want a cash bonus, Orange or Bouygues are the best choices; if you want an immediate free month, Free Mobile is more advantageous.

Can you refer for internet boxes at telecom operators?

Some operators extend their referral programme to internet box offers (fibre, ADSL). Orange and Bouygues Telecom often offer referral programmes on their box plans. Check the specific programme conditions at the time of your subscription, as box and mobile offers may have different bonuses.

How long does it take to receive a telecom referral bonus?

Telecom bonuses are generally credited monthly in instalments. With Orange, the credit is spread over 12 months. With Bouygues and SFR, the bonus may be paid more quickly (in 1 to 3 instalments). Free Mobile credits the free month as soon as the referral is activated.

Is telecom referral valid for prepaid offers?

Generally, French operator referral offers are reserved for standard monthly plans (post-paid), whether with or without commitment. Prepaid offers (SIM cards) are not eligible in most programmes. Always check eligibility conditions when subscribing.
