Does the Mudita Kompakt (Global) work on Free Mobile?

Q: Does the Mudita Kompakt (Global) work on Free Mobile?

Works. Two owners on Mudita's forum report 4G Calling (VoLTE) working on Free in France (Aug 2026), and the phone also has 3G (900/2100 MHz) to fall back on. One of them says Free's 4G calls use a lower-quality voice codec. The Kompakt isn't on Free's own VoLTE list, so this rests on owner reports.

Yes, it should.
