Does the Light Phone III work on Orange?

Last checked 23 Oct 20268 sourcesLight's checker (23 Oct 2026)

Yes.

Works

Light's own compatibility checker says the Light Phone III will work with Orange 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 Orange's published plans affects this pairing right now.

Orange (France)

  • 3G: On until the end of 2028 (switch-off starts then)
  • 2G: Off across mainland France since 20 October 2026 (switched off in waves from 31 March); official no-coverage "white zones" keep it until 1–15 December 2026

Light Phone III

  • 2G: Not listed on Light's spec sheet
  • 3G: Not published or not checked yet
  • 4G bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 38, 40, 41, 42, 48, 53, 66, 71 + 5G
  • 4G Calling: unknown – Light says the Light III is one worldwide model, but we haven't found a UK or Portuguese network that confirms 4G Calling on it. EE owners on r/LightPhone report 4G service.

The same applies to networks that run on Orange: Sosh. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
