How to change mobile plan ?

Your consumption habits have evolved and you now want to change your mobile plan. You will have to terminate your contract with your operator and you wonder whether or not this approach will generate costs. Depending on your current offer, there may actually be termination fees. Here’s how to change your mobile package at a lower cost.

This article was not written by BFMTV journalists.com

Mobile non -binding packages are the most requested packages, because they allow a certain flexibility of use. You are free to change your package at any time, without providing proof and without it generating costs. You just need to inform your operator. On the other hand, if you want to keep the same phone number, you will have to request the Rio code, the identity operator statement. This request is made by phone at 31,79. The call and the service are free and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

There was a time when mobile phone operators billed staggering fees for any modification or cancellation of a mobile plan before the end of the contract. In 2008, the Chatel law implemented new regulations as well as a calculation of termination fees, common to all operators. The only possibility of terminating your package with free commitment is to do so at the end of your 12 or 24 month contract. In this specific case, simply warn your operator with a notice of a minimum month by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

The package with commitment requires carefully consulting your contract before making any change. Depending on the offer you have subscribed, changing the mobile plan implies certain costs. Depending on the duration of your commitment, they vary from simple to double ! Any termination request must be made by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt.

If you want to change your package when your 12 month contract has not expired, you are liable for the monthly payments due to the 12th month. For example, if you are solving during the 3rd month, you will have 9 months to pay.

For a 24 -month commitment, it is the same principle, except that the amount to be paid corresponds to the quarter of the monthly payments remaining between the 13th and the 24th month. That is to say that if you interrupt your offer in the 13th month, you will have to pay your operator a quarter of the last 11 remaining monthly payments. Please note, in the case of termination from the first year of your commitment, the costs are accumulating. You will have to pay all the remaining monthly payments of the first year as well as a quarter of the monthly payments the second year.

You can also keep your current phone number. Please refer to the previous paragraph.

Certain events, personal or professionals, can force you to change your mobile package. These events are not your jurisdiction, the Chatel law has determined legitimate reasons that allow you to terminate your mobile package without any costs. However, each operator determines their own conditions of termination, it is therefore essential to consult the precise terms of your contract. Here is a non -exhaustive list of the legitimate reasons established by the Chatel law:

Over -indebtedness
A dysfunction of the service (interruption of the line, etc.)
The contractual changes of the operator
Dismissal as part of a permanent contract
The move in an area not covered by the operator
Moving abroad
Imprisonment
Force majeure recognized by the courts
A disease or a handicap no longer allowing the use of the service
The death of the user

If you are in one of these cases, you must send your operator proof to take into account your termination request. He must imperatively be sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt.

Changing the mobile plan is ultimately simple and rather fast depending on the type of offer you have. But to pay as few costs as possible, consult the commitment conditions of your operator. For any questions, do not hesitate to request it, because he alone can indicate the right step to follow.
