Does the Light Phone III work on Free Mobile?
Yes, it should.
WorksLight's own compatibility checker says the Light Phone III will work with Free in France (it lists Orange, SFR, Bouygues and Free; checked 23 Oct 2026). Light's spec sheet lists 4G and 5G only, so calls go over 4G Calling and the 2G switch-off doesn't change anything for it.
Nothing on Free Mobile's published plans affects this pairing right now.
