That’s it, Free Mobile is celebrating its 10th anniversary! On the occasion of this special event, the French operator, which revolutionized the telephony market on January 10, 2012, takes stock of the last decade and unveils new offers for its customers.
For its tenth anniversary, Free takes stock of the past 10 years. Since 2012, Free’s values have not changed much, they remain focused on freedom with non-binding plans, the simplicity with 2 offers in 2012 and 3 in 2022, and generosity with unlimited calls and SMS.
Since 2012, Free has not changed its prices. We always find an offer at 2 euros and another at 19.99 euros, and the operator specifies that unlike its competitors, no cost is hidden. It should be remembered that Bouygues Telecom and SFR were elected kings of price increases in 2021.
What has really changed at Free in 10 years?
Over the past 10 years, Free has established nearly 21,600 mobile sites in France, when they were only 700 years old in 2012. The current coverage of the territory in 3G and 4G is 99%, and the operator claims a 5G coverage of 77 %. Free has also opened more than 150 stores across France.
Its plans have also evolved well, since we went from 3 GB of data included in 2012 to 210 GB today in 2022. More than 100 international destinations are supported, and subscribers now benefit from 25 GB per month of data roaming in more than 70 destinations. Finally, Free announces that it has reached the threshold of 13.5 million subscribers in 2022, and that its arrival on the market has lower the average price of ski passes from 27.30 euros in 2012 to 13.30 euros today. Indeed, we saw last week that the price of packages has never been so low for 20 years.
