Commissioning fees vs line opening: the conditions

Before activating your line, know that there are two types of costs that can be accumulated:

• Setup fees :The line has been inactive for less than 6 months and your accommodation has wall telephone sockets. Then the line identification number (NDI) is still recoverable if the operator has not disabled the old fixed line. The NDI can therefore be found to put your ADSL or fiber access into service. You can thus subscribe to an internet offer Without building a new line. The reactivation of a line is free during internet subscription.

=> You only pay the costs of commissioning your line.

• Opening expenses: the line has been inactive for + 6 months. You must then have a new phone number and a new internet subscription. Normally, you should use Orange, the historic operator. Nevertheless, you can call on other operators, as part of the “unbundling inactive number” procedure. This procedure allows you to go through the competing operators of Orange To open a line and access the Internet.

=> In conclusion, So you also pay line opening costs
