France mobile proxies for checking apps and sites on French carriers
Carrier exits in France on Free Mobile, Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom, billed per GB from $3.99 down to $2.19. Add -cc-fr to the mobile login, keep one exit for up to 6 hours with a session key, and read the carrier from the exit’s ASN.

Carrier IPs
What a French carrier exit shows in a lookup
Three of France’s four mobile operators run phones and home broadband through a single ASN: Orange on AS3215, SFR on AS15557 and Bouygues Telecom on AS5410. A lookup of one of their addresses names the operator and leaves the access type open. Free does it differently. Its phones go out through Free Mobile’s AS51207, a network kept apart from the Freebox lines on AS12322, so an address on AS51207 belongs to a phone.
Free Mobile also led our sample: 8 of 12 exits taken with a mobile login on 26 October 2026 were on AS51207, and the others included Bouygues Telecom, SFR and Orange. A dozen exits say nothing about how large each carrier is in the pool.
IPv6 is widespread on French mobile networks. APNIC Labs counted 92.7% of Orange users as IPv6-capable in October 2026, 89.5% on Bouygues Telecom, 86.9% on Free Mobile and 81.6% on SFR. Lyca Mobile and Lebara, two virtual operators with ASNs of their own in APNIC’s French table, stay almost entirely on IPv4. Household lines on the same four operators are on the France proxies page.
Carriers
French mobile operators by ASN
APNIC Labs estimates how many French internet users sit on each network. For the three operators that share an ASN with their home lines, the share counts phones and broadband together.
| Operator | ASN in an IP lookup | Phones on that ASN | Share of French users | IPv6-capable users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orange | AS3215 | With home lines | 36.2% | 92.7% |
| Bouygues Telecom | AS5410 | With home lines | 18% | 89.5% |
| SFR, RED by SFR | AS15557 | With home lines | 16.5% | 81.6% |
| Free Mobile | AS51207 | Phones only | 4.9% | 86.9% |
| Lyca Mobile | AS31404 | Phones, virtual operator | 0.24% | 0.22% |
| Lebara | AS33921 | Phones, virtual operator | 0.08% | 0.71% |
APNIC Labs, users per ASN on 24 October 2026 and IPv6 capability to 25 October 2026. Arcep publishes market totals for France but no share per operator. Free’s home lines are on AS12322 (19.3% of French users) and are not mobile.
Networks
4G and 5G on French SIM cards
Arcep counted 84.7 million SIM cards in France at the end of June 2026, 78.2 million of them on contracts, using 19.3 GB of mobile data a month on average.
Between 99.2% and 99.6% of people in mainland France, depending on the operator, had good mobile internet coverage at the end of 2025 (Arcep annual report 2026). Ookla’s median mobile download in France was 130.64 Mbps at the end of 2025, according to DataReportal.

Pricing
Mobile prices per GB for France
France uses the same ladder as every other country. The tier you reach sets the rate for the whole purchase, and traffic you buy never expires.
| Traffic you buy | Price per GB | For example |
|---|---|---|
| 1–9 GB | $3.99 | 5 GB for $19.95 |
| 10–49 GB | $3.49 | 10 GB for $34.90 |
| 50–99 GB | $3.19 | 50 GB for $159.50 |
| 100–249 GB | $2.89 | 100 GB for $289.00 |
| 250–499 GB | $2.59 | 250 GB for $647.50 |
| 500–999 GB | $2.39 | 500 GB for $1,195.00 |
| 1,000+ GB | $2.19 | 1,000 GB for $2,190.00 |
Mobile costs $0.50 per GB more than residential at every tier; residential runs from $3.49 down to $1.69. The pricing page shows the current free trial terms.
For developers
Open a French carrier session and check it
Use the mobile login and password from the dashboard’s Mobile page (residential has its own). HTTP goes to port 7000 and SOCKS5 to port 7001 on gate.aeonproxy.com; -time-1800 is 30 minutes and -time-21600 the 6-hour maximum.

What is changing on French mobile networks
France has four mobile operators, may soon have three, and is closing its 2G and 3G networks.
SFR sale agreed
Bouygues Telecom, Iliad and Orange signed to buy SFR from Altice France for €20.35 billion, which would cut France to three mobile networks (Arcep).
Pre-notification
Orange and Bouygues Telecom began pre-notifying their parts of the deal to the Autorité de la concurrence.
Review in France
The European Commission referred the review of Iliad’s part to the same authority. As of 26 October 2026 no decision had been published.
2G and 3G close
The four operators have scheduled their 2G and 3G shutdowns inside this window; at the end of June 2026, 1.91 million phones and tablets still could not use anything newer (Arcep).
Keep the ASN list in your code in one place, so a change of owner for SFR’s network is a one-line edit.
Proxy types
Mobile, residential or a static IP in France
Each type reaches France through a different kind of address and is billed differently.
Mobile
Carrier exits
- Addresses shared by subscribers of Free Mobile, Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom.
- Rotating, or one exit held for up to 6 hours.
- $3.99 → $2.19 per GB.
- For app and mobile-site checks and your own social accounts.
Pick it when the phone view is what you need.
Residential
Household lines
- 1.14M+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026.
- Region and city keys where available.
- $3.49 → $1.69 per GB.
- For listings, prices and search in volume.
Cheaper per GB, with more places to choose from.
ISP and datacenter
Static IPs
- One address for the whole rental.
- ISP $4.00 per IP a month; datacenter from $0.50 for 3 days.
- The order page lists the countries that have ISP and datacenter IPs.
For a monitor or an account that must keep one fixed address.
Rules that apply to mobile proxy use in France
We know of no French law that bans proxies or VPNs as such. What you do through one falls under the usual rules: the GDPR and the Loi Informatique et Libertés for personal data, enforced by the CNIL, and each platform’s terms for the accounts you use.
CNIL guidance treats scraping case by case and says sites that refuse it through robots.txt or a CAPTCHA must be left out. In December 2024 the CNIL fined KASPR €240,000 for collecting LinkedIn contact details whose owners had limited who could see them.

France mobile proxy questions
A proxy whose exit is a French carrier address, shared by subscribers of Free Mobile, Orange, SFR or Bouygues Telecom. Use it when a site or app should see a phone on a French network: mobile layouts, app sign-up flows, your own social accounts. For bulk price and listing work a residential exit costs less per GB.
We give no mobile IP figure for France. The exits are French carrier addresses, mostly Free Mobile in our sample of 26 October 2026, with Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom among the rest, and the Mobile page of the dashboard shows what is on offer when you generate a login.
No. Carrier keys exist only for the US, the UK and Germany. Ask for France with -cc-fr, read the carrier from the exit’s ASN as the Python tab does, and open a new session key when you want a different exit.
At the end of June 2026 Arcep counted 91% of French SIM cards active on 4G and 44% on 5G. Which of the two a given exit is using does not show in its IP address or in any lookup.
Buy mobile traffic from the dashboard. It costs $3.99 per GB for up to 9 GB and falls tier by tier to $2.19 from 1,000 GB; the tier rate applies to the whole purchase and the GB never expire. The pricing page has the full ladder and the current free trial terms.
As long as the time in your login, 6 hours at most: -sid-mykey-time-21600 keeps the exit for the full 6 hours, -time-1800 for 30 minutes. Without a session key each request may leave from a different exit.
Residential for volume: 1.14M+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026, with region and city keys, at $3.49 down to $1.69 per GB. Mobile when the request has to come from a phone network, at $0.50 more per GB on every tier.
Where available. The dashboard’s generator lists the regions and cities on offer for French mobile traffic at the time; city placement is not promised. Our IP checker shows where an exit actually is.
We know of no French law against proxies as such. The GDPR, CNIL guidance and each site’s terms apply to what you do through one. This is not legal advice.
Yes, accounts you own or manage, within each platform’s rules. Hold one sticky exit for the login and the work that follows instead of changing address with every request. Instagram setup.
Orange (AS3215), SFR (AS15557) and Bouygues Telecom (AS5410) route phones and broadband through one ASN each, so the ASN confirms the operator and no more. Free keeps its phones on Free Mobile’s AS51207.
