Your operator is Orange and you receive the active solidarity income (RSA) or the disabled adult allowance (AAH) or the specific solidarity allowance (SSA)? You can benefit from a so-called Telephone social reduction on your landline subscription of your principal residence. We'll tell you what you need to know.

Only the Orange operator offers a telephone social discount. Moreover, the reduction does not concern Internet-Television-Fixed telephone.

You are affected by the telephone social reduction if you receive one of the following financial assistance:

FYI  

By benefiting from the telephone social discount, you also benefit from the energy check for electricity and gas.

The reduction of the subscription amount is granted for a period of 1 year.

This period shall be renewable. To do this, you must send your new Certificate of Entitlement to the RSA or AAH or SSA by mail to Orange.
