News Summary:
On August 13, 2026, a French court ordered Free Mobile, part of Groupe iliad, to pay compensation to a victim in a 2022 SIM swap fraud case, with the court finding Free Mobile and BNP Paribas jointly liable for the nearly EUR 17,000 in losses. Earlier, on August 3, Free announced it would discontinue McAfee's 'Safe Family' parental control service, which it introduced in March 2023, and replace it from September 1 with an alternative offered through the Surfie app by PureSight. This followed comments on July 28 from Orange's chief executive, who stated she was not surprised by the French competition authority's 18-month review period for the proposed carve-up of domestic telecom company SFR, a deal involving Orange, Bouygues Telecom, and iliad. On July 23, the company announced access to its H1 results investor presentation for August 27, 2026. Previously, on July 21, Free expanded its Max Plan to include unlimited data in five new destinations—Saint Martin, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, and Sint Eustatias—at no additional cost for both new and existing subscribers.
