By analyzing the code of the Free website, we realize that the operator could offer a preferential rate for subscribing to a mobile plan at the same time as the Freebox V9. The index looks pretty solid.
After years of silence and waiting, everything seems to suddenly accelerate for the Freebox V9. Since version Delta released in 2018, freenauts don’t have much left to sink their teeth into. Just a Freebox Pop in 2020. What follows is a slow period where we learn nothing new, until 2023. It all starts when Free teases its new box at the start of the year. We then learned in the summer that 50 people were working hard on the future Freebox V9, then a change in the FreeOS code suggested that it would support Wi-Fi 7.
December arrives and a new teaser that some interpret as the announcement of a presentation of the Freebox V9 on January 22, 2024. You doubt it given the publication date of this article, it wasn’t that. But quickly, the operator issued an invitation to an event on January 30. He will most likely present his new box there. With the slogan “like something never seen before”, we expect the integration of Wi-Fi 7, even if for the moment we still have to wait. Waiting for, another clue has slipped into a place not necessarily visible to everyone.
Free could offer a more advantageous price for a mobile plan subscribed with the Freebox V9
By examining the Free website codean Internet user discovered lines clearly mentioning the Freebox V9. So far, nothing very surprising, except that this further supports the hypothesis of his imminent arrival. What is more interesting is that still according to the code, the Freebox V9 subscribers could subscribe to a mobile plan with unlimited data taking advantage of a preferential rate.
There would be two to choose from. The first would be €15.99 per month instead of €19.99, which is identical to the offers offered with other Freeboxes. The second would be the same, but €9.99 per month with 1 year commitment.
Note also the presence of a “Freebox V9” and a “Freebox V9 light”. Normally it should not be two different versions, but a way of distinguish offers on the operator’s website. But we are not immune to a surprise. From, Free cleared the lines of code in question here, which makes us think that they were legitimate and not left there voluntarily to cover their tracks.
