Using a Free Mobile SIM card outside of France, particularly in Russia, can be possible, but payment can be an issue if you lack a French IBAN due to automatic billing (prélèvement automatique). Some users report that older SIM card numbers may eventually cease functioning, requiring new ones. The Free Max plan is specifically a French tariff and not intended for exclusive use in Russia.

Free Mobile SIM card payments in France are typically automated via IBAN after an initial payment
Free Mobile SIM card payments in France are typically automated via IBAN after an initial payment. If manual payment is required or issues arise due to language barriers, users should wait for the new bill which specifies payment methods. For app navigation, using Google Translate's camera feature on screenshots can help. Contacting Free Mobile support for a direct payment link is also an option. Some users report variable internet speeds, with newer unlimited plans occasionally performing worse than older tariffs, especially outside the EU where mVPN might be required. eSIM activation with Free Mobile requires a French number and IBAN.
