Cultural Tip
In France, "forfait" is most commonly associated with mobile‑phone or internet packages, but it can also refer to any fixed‑price bundle (e.g., a travel package). Because "Ça" and "ton" are informal, switch to "Cela dépend de votre forfait" when speaking to strangers, elders, or in a professional setting.
