Does the Nokia 225 4G (2024) work on Bouygues Telecom?

Last checked 23 Oct 20266 sourcesWorked out from published specs

Mostly, with a catch.

Works with caveats

With 2G being switched off, calls and texts fall back to 3G, which this phone supports (900 MHz, 2100 MHz). Bouygues Telecom plans to switch 3G off at the end of 2029. It supports 4G Calling, but we haven't found confirmation that it's enabled on Bouygues Telecom. 4G data should work (shared bands: 1, 3, 7, 20, 28).

It works today, but calls on the Nokia 225 4G (2024) rely on a part of Bouygues Telecom's network with a switch-off on the way. Check the dates below before you commit for years.

We worked this out from the phone's published bands and Bouygues Telecom's own published network facts (see How we check). Nobody has confirmed it for this exact pairing yet.

Bouygues Telecom (France)

  • 3G: On until the end of 2029

Nokia 225 4G (2024)

  • 2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
  • 3G: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 2100 MHz
  • 4G bands: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 38, 40, 41 (EU model)
  • 4G Calling: yes – Listed in HMD's VoLTE-verified product list (Nokia 225 4G, TA-1610).

The same applies to networks that run on Bouygues Telecom: B&You. Smaller networks sometimes handle 4G Calling differently, so check with them too.
