French to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Telecom(munications) / mobile phones
French term or phrase:coffret
From an agreement between phone companies where one company agrees to sell and market the other's products.
Coffret often appears with pochette and both terms are used interchangeably. I have considered using "package" or "bundle" but not sure which English term to use for which french term.

Don't know about chargers these days. They are supposed to be producing phones (all brands) that use a common charger so I imagine there is/will be a new expression on the market, intermediary between pochette and coffret for those who need a phone but already have the matching charger.

I think the various suggestions "boxed set", "kit", "bundle" are OK-- they're all terms that are used, and it essentially depends on the slight preference as to what idea you want to emphasise.
I'd possible avoid "package", unless there's really the idea of a reduction in PRICE from buying subscriptions to various things.
