Cultural Tip

In France, telecom operators frequently market ‘packs’ (bundles) that combine internet, TV and phone services. The informal term ‘la télé’ is widely used in advertising and everyday speech, but in formal writing you should prefer ‘la télévision’. Also, note that ‘téléphone’ can refer to a landline; if you mean a mobile phone, say ‘le mobile’ or ‘le téléphone portable’.
