→What about virtual operators (MVNOs)?
Virtual operators (MVNOs — Mobile Virtual Network Operators) lease infrastructure from the 4 major operators without owning their own radio network. In France, the main MVNOs are: Sosh and Réglo Mobile (on Orange's network), RED by SFR, La Poste Mobile, NRJ Mobile and Prixtel (on SFR's network), B&You and Coriolis Telecom (on Bouygues' network), and Free Flex (on Free's network). Numbers assigned to MVNOs typically start with 06 or 07, identical to those of the host operators, making distinction impossible without querying the numbering database.
