Why French Consumers are Dropping Hundreds of Thousands of SIM Cards
According to the ARCEP (Autorité de régulation des communications électroniques, des postes et de la distribution de la presse), France recorded 84.7 million SIM cards in circulation at the start of summer. This slight decrease is primarily attributed to a significant drop in prepaid SIM cards. In contrast, traditional subscription plans and business lines continue to experience growth, indicating a shift in consumer preferences and usage patterns within the French mobile market.
