Summary
Pay your Free bill by bank card online
If you wish to pay your Free invoice by credit card, you must follow the following steps:
- log in to your subscriber area by entering your identification number and your password. If you forget your password, click on “lost password” and Free will send you a new code to your email;
- then click on the link « To settle your outstanding debt, click here »;
- then, fill in the details of your credit card (numbers on the front of the card, expiry date, three-digit pictogram on the back);
- Free then sends you an SMS containing a security code. This is a payment authentication allowing the company to ensure that you are indeed the holder of the credit card and that you are not the victim of credit card fraud;
- confirm and wait a few moments while Free checks your payment.
Once the transaction is complete, you will be able to call and receive calls again.
How do I pay Free by direct debit?
To remember to pay a telephone bill, direct debit can be an effective solution. Thus, Free takes the amount you owe them directly from your account. It also makes it easier to manage your invoices. Note that if your bank account is not in credit, the Free direct debit will be rejected.
To set up a Free direct debit, follow these steps:
- ask Free to send you a direct debit authorisation. The request is made via your customer area;
- then print the direct debit authorization indicating your identity, your complete postal address and the address of your bank branch. Do not forget to indicate the date and sign;
- then, go to your bank branch to send your advisor your Free direct debit authorization;
- Finally, all you have to do is inform Free that the method of payment has been established (by email or telephone).
Can I pay my Free invoice in cash or by check?
Payment in cash (notes or coins) is not one of the methods of payment accepted by Free because the company does not have a designated office.
Like cash, checks are not accepted by Free to pay its mobile bill. Note that if you want to pay every month by check for practical reasons, this is impossible. Like cash, this means of payment is reserved for unpaid bills.
Indeed, Free favors payments by credit card or direct debit to facilitate the management of its accounts.
What to do in the event of an unpaid problem?
The first thing to know is that in the event of an unpaid invoice, Free notifies you by SMS. Then you have several ways to fix the problem.
My direct debit is rejected
If you do not have sufficient funds in your bank account to pay your bill, your banker will refuse the direct debit. In return, access to your mobile phone will be restricted to you. You will only be able to receive outgoing calls. And on your side, it will be impossible for you to make a phone call until the situation is regularized.
On the other hand, in case of arrears, it will be impossible for you to present your direct debit again. There are three ways to pay the bill: by post, online via your subscriber area or by telephone.
Unpaid free: send a letter to the collection service
In the event of non-payment, the first solution is to send a money order to the Free collection service at the following address:
Free SAS
Collection Service
75 371 Paris Cedex 08
In your letter, specify your intention to settle your unpaid invoice. Indicate your identification number to facilitate the subscriber search. By proceeding by cash mandate, note that the reactivation of your mobile line will take some time.
To know : only people who have their file managed by the Free litigation department can pay by money order. The others can regularize the situation by check.
To note : you can also pay by bank check by sending it in the same way to the Free collection service. On the back of the title, do not forget to indicate your identifying telephone number in order to avoid any problem processing your request.
Solve the problem online
Simply log into your subscriber area using your phone number and associated password.
In the « My subscription » tab, click on the « Consult my invoices » link. The outstanding payment is then indicated by a warning located at the top of the page, accessible by clicking on the link “Please pay now…”.

Contact Free by phone
Finally, be aware that you can contact the Free telephone hotline to solve the problem of the unpaid invoice. It is an interactive vocal server. After identifying yourself, you can pay the bill by credit card.
In any case, be aware that you will have to wait at least 24 hours for your Free line to be operational again. Sometimes, the reactivation takes several days, the time for Free to receive and collect your pending payments. If you need your line as soon as possible, prefer payment by credit card.
