How to activate 5G at Free Mobile ?

By default, 5G is not automatically activated on your package. To take advantage of it, it is necessary to go to the subscriber space of the mobile site.free.fr to activate the option.

To take advantage of 5G (subject to network coverage), identify yourself in your subscriber space, then head in the section ” My options “Of the section” My mobile plan »». It is possible to activate many options, such as non-purchasing in the directory, blocking surcharged numbers, payment on invoice or “service 5G”.

You guessed it, it is this last option that must be activated by checking the gray box. This becomes green and a message tells you that the 5G option has been activated.

Remember to activate 5G on your phone

If not already done, also check that 5G is enabled on your smartphone. It is of course necessary to have a 5g phone, then go to the settings.

On iOS

On iPhone 12 or more, check that you have iOS 14.3 or a later version (otherwise update). It is also possible that a pop-up window notifies an update operator at startup, do not hesitate to restart your iPhone to trigger it.

Then go to the settings, then in cellular data and finally click on your compatible package. In the “Voice and data” section you can then choose between “5G activated”, “5g auto” or “4G”. Note, however, that Apple limited for the moment the use in 4G for those with two packages (via ESIM).

On Android

On Android, however, it is different depending on your version of the system or brand of your smartphone. You will nevertheless find this option in the “Wi-Fi and Network” menu (name that can vary) of your phone settings, in the “SIM and network” subsection (name that can vary). Here you can select your favorite network type.

And now, now you just have to find a compatible antenna.

موبايل مجاني: كيف يتم تفعيل 5g؟ – Arbah

Yes and no to activate the option is just that I go to my customer is and that I activate the option.

I add to what Pierro787 says that Free announced on the assistance that the maj of the OnePlus 8 Pro would come in January (https: // www.UniversFreebox.Com/Article/59735/Free-Mobile-Quels-Sont-les-Smartphones-Commpatible-avel-le-Reseau-5g-de-L-Optor). Note that there is a tip on this phone to activate 5G without waiting for the update (by activating the Machine Fashion, then by editing the Carrier_Policy file.XML if you are interested).

We must have to make a maj from the phone on the phone. It was the case of the iPhone, they did not work in 5G with certain Huawei or Nokia relay antennas, I don’t know. It will be corrected in December by Apple who will push an update. On a Xiaomi Mi Mix 5g D a year ago, no problem, there are 5g/4G/3G/2G in the networks menu and the telephone changes well in 5G. I advise you to install a monitoring app like RNC Mobile to verify that you are indeed in 5g or not because the logo on the screen is not at all precise. You can also see a possible aggregation of carriers with 4G 1800 MHz according to your phone.

Already you have to have a 5g phone. It’s a bit of a shame to surpass a smartphone to have 5G and not to use it later (in the iPhone 12, the Qualcomm 5G modem costs 90 dollars), I imagine that it is the same for other brands that use modems Qualcomm aside maybe Huawei who has his own solution. If we have 5G coverage and a 5G mobile, you might as well take 5G. Or renew with a phone that is only 4G and which will necessarily be cheaper for the rest of the features because there is the 5g Modem less to pay.

I invite you to go and see the many speedtes on Freebox universe for example who prove the opposite, in 700 MHz band. What would be the interest of an operator to offer a 5G which would be less good than 4G at the risk of dissatisfying them and seeing them go elsewhere because no engagement at Free ? None. The phones make carriers of carriers, at least some, so even in 5G 700 MHz band and with 4G coupled in 1800 MHz, we arrive at very good flows. Monitoring apps like RNC Mobile or others indicate the detail in real time of the connection of its 5G mobile, the active carriers, etc. But there will always be 2 or 3 pseudo experts to explain to us that mathematically the 5G of free with nokia berries is necessarily less good than the others and that it is worth nothing, worse, that 4G loses in quality for other subscribers without present the least comparative test besides. They do not work at Free and do not have access to the detailed parameter of the relay antennas. All this is theory, these are the concrete results of users in the field who count and they are very good. It is as for the covid, each lab has the best vaccine, the others are worth nothing. So yes, for 20 euros per month (10 when you subscribe Freebox Pop), the free 5g offer is excellent.

I don’t understand, my OnePlus 8Pro phone is 5G, I have the 5G option activated on Free but in Sim Networks, 4G Max, no mention of 5G

Personally, I would take the 5G of Red that if the price does not increase, otherwise I remain in 4G it is more than enough in my case

At 700 MHz it does not change absolutely nothing it is even slightly worse good . To see on higher frequency antennas

This would be useless of a already need a 5G compatible mobile to activate this option to have 5G and the 150GB of data.

I wonder I have a Redmi note 8 pro which is not compatible 5G but if I activate the option of my settings I would have a speed of flow on 4G approximity of a 5G antenna or It will be useless.

It’s crazy that Sosh has not currently communicated on their future 5G offer, unless it waits for Free to draw is offered to see if it follows others increase the price or if it maintains its current price but in all Sosh case must not missed the mark in order not to lose customers
