Does the Nokia 105 (2023, 2G) work on Free Mobile?

Q: Does the Nokia 105 (2023, 2G) work on Free Mobile?

Doesn't work. This is a 2G-only phone. Free has no 2G of its own and uses Orange's, which is now off across mainland France (last wave 20 October 2026) except in official no-coverage "white zones", where it goes between 1 and 15 December 2026. It may keep working for a few more weeks in some areas, but not after that.
