Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry at €1.99 a month is below the typical starting price across site brands, €9.30.
  • The B&YOU plans are all sold without commitment, and the options that do carry a term run 1 and 24 months.
  • 5G and an eSIM are available on the range rather than sold as paid add-ons, while the entry point sits at €1.99.
  • Roaming reaches 160 countries on a fair use basis, which covers the trips most people actually take.
  • A multi line discount is available for households holding several numbers.

Cons

  • Support runs on phone, help centre and community only, so anyone who wants live chat has to make do.
  • Roaming is fair use across 160 countries rather than open ended, so heavy travellers should read the cap first.
  • The larger B&YOU plans, including the B&YOU 5G Voyage, cost more each month than the entry rate of €1.99, so heavy data use moves you well past the starting figure.
  • yesss! lists a starting price of €0, which sits below the entry rate of €1.99 here.

  • Travellers who need roaming across 160 countries on a fair use basis

Who should look elsewhere

  • Travellers who expect roaming to be unrestricted, since it is fair use here

Core features

The B&YOU range is sold as a sim only option, so you bring your own handset and the monthly figure is not tied to a phone. 5G comes with the plans rather than as a paid add on, and an eSIM is available, which suits anyone moving between a physical SIM and a digital profile, or adding a number for a trip. Roaming reaches 160 countries, so short breaks and longer journeys abroad keep the same number. A multi line discount is available, and that is the lever to pull when a household adds another number rather than shopping for each one separately. Taken together, these features point the range at light data users who want freedom to leave, at travellers who need reach, and at households planning to hold several numbers. Sim only keeps the choice narrow on purpose, with the network supplying the connection, the plan supplying the data and the handset left to you.

The company behind it

Plans are issued by BOUYGUES TELECOM S.A., a company based in France, so the contract sits with the operator rather than a middleman. Support runs on phone, help centre and community, which covers a phone line, a help centre and a community forum. That mix suits readers who are happy to pick up the phone or work through written answers, and suits them less if they would rather have live chat open in the same window as ordering. Having a named legal entity on the terms also gives a clear party to go to when a plan needs changing or a bill needs explaining. The trade-off to weigh is the channel mix rather than the size of the name, and it is worth reading before you pick a plan rather than after.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest plan and what does it cost?+

The entry point is the B&YOU plan priced at €1.99 a month, with no commitment attached. It suits light use, with a small data allowance, a few hours of calls and a line you can walk away from. If your data needs are heavier, the B&YOU 5G plan and the B&YOU 5G Voyage plan sit above it at higher monthly rates.

Is the price introductory or does it stay the same?+

The B&YOU plans are sold without commitment at a steady monthly rate, so the figure you start on is the one you keep rather than a promotional price that steps up later. Contract options run 1 and 24 months, and contract, rolling and prepaid covers the billing styles, so read the term before assuming the price never moves.

How long is the contract?+

Some plans come with no commitment at all, and the ones that do carry a term run 1 and 24 months. Billing covers contract, rolling and prepaid, so contract, rolling and prepaid arrangements all appear in the range. That mix lets you take a longer term only when the monthly figure or a funded handset makes it worthwhile.

Where does it run and can I use it abroad?+

Plans are sold in France, and the company behind them is based in France. Roaming reaches 160 countries, with usage abroad handled on a fair use basis rather than open ended. That covers trips comfortably, but a heavy year of travel is worth checking against the cap.

Does it support 5G and an eSIM?+

Both are available: 5G comes with the range and an eSIM can be issued, which suits anyone moving between a physical SIM and a digital profile. Support runs on phone, help centre and community, so the help centre and the phone line are where to start when setting up an eSIM on a new handset.

What costs more?+

Data, mostly. The B&YOU 5G plan and the B&YOU 5G Voyage plan carry far larger allowances than the entry plan at €1.99, and they carry a higher monthly figure to match. A multi line discount is available when the extra data is needed across several numbers rather than one.

How does the entry price compare with other brands?+

On starting price, Bouygues Telecom ranks at 32 out of 258 brands on the site, with entry at €1.99. That sits below the typical starting price across brands, €9.30, and below the typical figure in the mobile network grouping, €6.99.

Is there a discount for more than one line?+

A multi line discount is available on the plans in France. It is the lever to pull when a household wants a number for a partner, a child or a spare handset, since extra lines are added to an existing account rather than set up one at a time.
