What Coriolis Télécom does

Coriolis Télécom is a French Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) providing mobile plans, fiber internet, smartphones, device insurance, and in-store support services to individual consumers across France. Founded in 1989–1990 and headquartered in Paris, the company operates as CORIOLIS SAS with share capital of €1,010,000 and is led by Director General Mesrop Yeremian. Coriolis serves as the consumer-facing retail layer over SFR's wholesale telecommunications infrastructure, with 99.9% 4G and 84% 5G population coverage inherited from the host network. Its product set spans four no-commitment SIM-only plans (Le Basic 20 Go at €7.99/month to Le Premium 300 Go with 5G at €15.99/month), three device-bundled plans with 24-month commitments (L'Essentiel Mobile, Le Maxi Mobile, L'Ultra Mobile up to €34.99/month), the SFR Box Fibre internet service, the Assur'Mobile insurance product (€3.99–€12.99/month), and in-store repair, SIM replacement, and trade-in services. In October 2025 the company introduced a Box Fibre + Mobile Duo bundle at €37.98/month as a boutique-exclusive cross-sell offer.

Coriolis does not own or operate radio access or core network infrastructure. Its technical differentiation rests on the wholesale MVNO relationship with SFR (APN, VoLTE/VoWiFi calling, free number portability within 59 days), customer-facing services such as a deaf/hard-of-hearing accessibility channel (Coriolis-Sourdline), and a curated catalog of more than 100 smartphone models from Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Google, and Honor. The company does not disclose any proprietary AI/ML systems, platforms, or developer APIs; its technology footprint is conventional CRM, e-commerce, and retail point-of-sale layered on top of the SFR wholesale pipe.

The business model is recurring subscription revenue from mobile and fiber contracts, supplemented by insurance subscriptions, professional services revenue from in-store repairs and device setup, and indirect revenue share from franchised retail. Distribution combines an e-commerce channel (coriolis.com), inside sales by phone (6 days/week), and a network of over 200 independent franchise/affiliate boutiques across France concentrated in small/medium cities and rural areas where major MNO competitors are underrepresented. The primary customer segment is the mass-market individual consumer, with a secondary B2B extension through the CorioPro subsidiary. There are no disclosed enterprise customers, no named anchor accounts, and no public revenue figures.

Direct peers

• CIC Mobile / Crédit Mutuel Mobile: CIC Mobile and Crédit Mutuel Mobile are banking-affiliated MVNOs on the Bouygues Telecom network offering mobile plans to retail banking customers. Comparable MVNO model targeting consumer segments via a distribution network, similar to Coriolis's retail-affiliated strategy.
• Syma Mobile: Syma Mobile is a French MVNO providing consumer mobile plans, primarily online. Comparable to Coriolis as a France-based MVNO serving consumer customers with no-commitment plans, though with a much smaller retail footprint.
• Prixtel: Prixtel is a French MVNO operating on the SFR network (same host as Coriolis), targeting price-sensitive consumer mobile customers with adjustable plans. It is the closest direct competitor to Coriolis in the French no-frills MVNO segment.
• NRJ Mobile: NRJ Mobile is one of France's largest MVNOs (SFR/Orange network depending on plan), selling consumer mobile plans across a multi-channel footprint including its own retail. Directly comparable to Coriolis on customer segment, MVNO model, and brand-led consumer marketing.
• La Poste Mobile: La Poste Mobile is the MVNO of La Poste (French national postal service) running on SFR's network, leveraging the postal retail network to sell consumer mobile plans. Same MVNO model, same host network, and highly comparable mass-market consumer targeting to Coriolis.

Broad incumbents

• Free Mobile (Iliad): Free Mobile, part of Iliad Group, is one of France's four MNOs and a major disruptive competitor to Coriolis with aggressive low-priced plans. It sets the price floor in the French mobile market against which MVNO offerings must be calibrated.
• Sosh (Orange brand): Sosh is the digital-only low-cost brand of Orange France, offering no-commitment mobile and fiber plans online. It competes with Coriolis for the same digital-first consumer segment but with the network ownership and brand backing of France's largest MNO.
• Bouygues Telecom: Bouygues Telecom is one of France's four integrated MNOs operating its own mobile and fiber network. Comparable to Coriolis as a major French consumer telecom provider, though at vastly larger scale with owned infrastructure.
• RED by SFR: RED by SFR is the low-cost digital brand of Coriolis's host network operator SFR, offering no-commitment SIM-only plans. It is a critical competitive reference because SFR's own discount brand competes directly with its MVNO partner Coriolis on the same network.

Emerging players

• Mint Mobile: Mint Mobile is a US-based MVNO (now owned by T-Mobile) known for disrupting the US prepaid market with low-priced online plans. Useful international comparable for Coriolis on MVNO business model and digital-first low-cost positioning, even though the regulatory/geographic context differs.
