Moreover,
Free backup wi-fi over:
This is the end of an era for the operator of Xavier Niel. Meanwhile, Free will put an end to a historical option which gradually fell into disuse: the freewifi_secure.
Wi-Fi helps free subscribers, it’s over. For example, The operator announced the end of the freewifi_secure service on October 1, 2025. Nevertheless, This solution launched in 2012 by Free allowed free mobile subscribers to enjoy free Internet access via freebox from other subscribers. These community hotspots certainly had a limited speed, but they could prove useful punctually.
For this, Freebox subscribers were invited to share part of their connection with other Free customers. It was enough for this to activate an option which made it possible to allocate a part (minimal) of. his bandwidth to a freely in need. The latter only had to seek the availability of a Freewifi network and to free backup wi-fi over identify itself via its SIM card.
Obsolete service in 2025 – Free backup wi-fi over
Anyway. Free has decided to delete this service and he expressed some of these subscribers via a message to say the least argued: ” Faced with the evolution of digital uses and our infrastructure, the Free WiFi service has become obsolete. Today. you have quality connectivity thanks to the 5G and 4G networks of Free, which provides you with a faster and more reliable mobile internet experience than ever, everywhere in France ».
The explanation of the operator could not be clearer. but we will still regret that Free did not communicate on the number of subscribers which still used the freewifi_secure.
In the meantime. it is a fairly unique feature that disappears, one of those who have made the notoriety of the operator and who contributed to the manufacture of the image of an internet access provider different from free backup wi-fi over the others.
