Save up to 60% on your phone bills in France
Phone and Internet Packages
Most expats living in France ‘choose’ to use France Telecom for their phone and broadband internet needs, but interest in alternative telecom suppliers has never been higher. With an English speaking alternative supplier, substantial savings compared to the competition and no contracts to sign, we think this is the easiest and most cost effective way to stay in touch with family and loved ones at any time.

We Can Help Save Your €uros
- Save Money on Calls:
Following UK Telecoms launch of its new ‘OneBill’ phone line rental and unlimited call package, new customer numbers have surged by more than 150% (since Nov. 08). This will not come as a surprise when you learn that clients typically save more than 60% on their phone bill compared to France Telecom’s charges. - Save Money on VAT:
Of more interest is the recent reduction in the UKs VAT rate; because UKT generates invoices from the UK, the previous advantage of invoicing UK customers at 17.5% now reduces to just 15% (the French rate is 19.6%). Just to be clear, the savings are being passed on in full onto the customer. - Save More Money:
With UKT’s Price Freeze Promise, you benefit from the guaranteed price freeze on all calls until 2010. La Vie Est Belle, isn’t it?
Flexibility – Understanding your Needs:
- Pay in £ sterling or euros:
One of the key benefits is that unlike with France Telecom, here you have the option to choose to pay either with your UK Bank Account or a French Bank account. This is an extremely popular option with owners of holiday homes in France, as FT insists line rental charges are paid from a French bank account only. - Be Greener with a Single Invoice:
At last, you can now have your line rental, costs of telephone calls (with or without one of the call packages), internet broadband or dial-up services, all on one single invoice. Who said you cannot save money and be kind to environment at the same time? - English Spoken and Ease of Use:
- Easy, You Simply Get to Keep The Same Number: As you would do in the UK, your telephone number will remain the same and you won’t have to use additional codes or strange prefixes to enjoy these tasty savings.
- English Spoken Service With a Human Touch: Any line service problems are handled in English; this is very important when technical terms are being used. Have the peace of mind to know your query will be dealt with by the same person who took your first call, right until the fault is closed. The icing on the cake is to know that at UK Telecom, only human beings will answer your call, there is no automated call center.
Examples of Popular Packages Available:
Pay for what you need and choose the call package that suits your requirements. The offers and packages listed below are some of the most frequently requested services. There are several other options, including the possibility to create a bespoke call package made ‘sur mesure’.
- OneBill – only €27.50 (including tax) : this includes your line rental and unlimited calls to landlines in France and the UK. We believe this is the lowest price on the market for this type of service.
- OneBill Plus – only €35.00 : this includes your line rental, unlimited calls to landlines in France, to the UK, Ireland, Australia plus calls to landlines and mobiles in America and Canada.
- OneBill Total: For all your phone requirements, including your broadband service.
Remember you will keep your existing telephone number and will not have to use ‘special’ dialling codes or prefixes. Another added Bonus is that you can also benefit from a free translation of your French number into a low cost UK number. This number can be given to friends and family back in the UK who can then use it for just 3 pence per minute. With no contracts to sign there could not be an easier way to stay in touch with family and loved ones at any time, no more excuse!
With all these new savings and services many customers have decided to switch, and rightly so, how can you go wrong! The benefits of the switch are bi-fold, help you save money and solve those exchange rate issues whilst benefiting from an unrivaled service that is so easy to use.
