en.Wedoany.com Reported - French telecom operator Free Mobile has introduced a free feature called "Abonné absent" (Subscriber absent) for its users, allowing them to block all incoming calls without turning off the mobile network connection. This option is directly accessible via the Free Mobile user portal, and once activated, there is no need to shut down the phone or set up call forwarding. Any caller will hear a voice prompt: "Hello, Free Mobile. The subscriber you are calling is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. You can also send a text message." Before the call ends, the prompt is repeated in English.

To enable this feature, users must first log in to the Free Mobile user portal and navigate to "My Services" under "My Mobile Plan." Once activated, users can still make calls, send and receive text messages, and use 4G or 5G internet services without any restrictions—only incoming calls are rejected. This feature is suitable for scenarios such as business trips, vacations, or meetings, allowing users to avoid disturbances for hours or days. When traveling to certain destinations outside the EU or areas covered by the plan, this feature also helps avoid additional charges from answering calls—since calls are automatically rejected before being connected to the user's line.

In dealing with telemarketing and fraudulent calls, this option also provides a temporary blocking solution. Users can freely activate or deactivate this service at any time from the Free Mobile user portal at no cost.
