- In this video I take a look a FreedomPop, a carrier believing the internet is a right, not a privilege. Is their free plan worth it?

You can get 500 mb for free on FreedomPop if you chose the Sprint network.
Have to buy a freedompop phone
they have LTE sim card now! I ordered mine it's coming tomorrow. cant wait to compare the speed test between freedompop and cricket. both runs on at&t.
I'm literally laughing at how hard they make it to downgrade. Great review!
Its really not, the video has made it look harder than it is. You can simply remove the free trial from your order to start with and just order the free plan.... not rocket science.
eraldorh they no longer let you select the free plan to begin with, and now it costs $15 to downgrade.
Then another $15 to remove the voicemail monthly charge.
one thing you need to know when doing FreedomPop is that you can get LTE. I got a SIMs card from FreedomPop I popped it into my LTE GoPhone from AT&T the Alcatel ideal and it picks up the LTE coverage with no problem. So yes if you have a unlocked phone then you're probably going to get 3G speeds if you have a phone that can use LTE data you can use LTE data. When testing the LTE data speeds I get around 40 megabits per second down using my AT&T Go phone SIMs card through GoPhone it's the same 40 megabits per second down but that depends on what time of the day it is. So yes you do get LTE service on the Sims card your phone just has to support
This is the first time that I have seen the "3G" icon on AT&T since the iPhone 4; it's nostalgic!
I have a CDMA FreedomPop phone on Sprint, and I must say that it is much better than what was shown here with the SIM. Firstly, I do get the full 500MBs (tho I did upgrade to a paid plan after a few months). Secondly, while coverage is worse, speeds are much better on Sprint. I've done a Speed test and have clocked about 54 Mbps down and about 10 Mbps up (using Sprints LTE Plus network I assume). Bottom line, if coverage isn't an issue for you, I'd recommend going for the Sprint version. I use and Android btw.
The 500MB isn't false advertising. You get it with the Sprint service. The Sprint option is way better, you connect directly to Sprint with LTE. With the GSM card, you connect to AT&T but then get routed all the way to Europe and then back to wherever you are. Neither are reliable for calls what so ever, though there is a premium voice for $3.99 (doesn't work on GSM but they'll let you sign up for it anyway). The premium voice on the Sprint network works, but only when the app guesses correctly (it decides whether to use data or the cell network based on speed).
i also found that there customer service is not very good too. you have to pay to talk to a customer service rep in the us and if you dont you talk to patrick or mary in the Philippines being outsourced which talk to you via piece of paper they are reading very poor too
You can change the carrier in the settings to T-Mobile, which is faster than AT&T in my area.
They do give you 500mb on their sprint based phones. Not on the Global SIM kit. The bonus with the SIM is you can use it in other countries listed on the SIM kit cover.
they changed quite a bit of stuff
and added some bulk buying plans that compete with mint sim
you should do an update????
Thanks!
Happy to be sticking with Ring Plus.
I have been using FreedomPop for over 3 years or so by now. It's a bit finicky to deal with but if you are tech savvy then you'll have no problem at all. my current plan is the 15 USD unlimited everything plan which is text, voice and 1 GB of 4G data then throttle to 3G, though in my experience I haven't gone to 3G ever. I do admit the messaging app is all f^cking horrible at times but between Hangout, WhatsApp and facebook messaging I do not have a problem. I do constantly stream Slacker Radio and SoundCloud at times and I have not experienced the skipping audio. Sure sometimes it buffers between each new track for like 2 or 3 seconds then it plays.
I know it is not Unlimited voice or text if you sign up for the 1 GB per month data which is billed annually at 80 USD You do use data to send those text or to talk. I haven't tested to freedompop-to-freedompop text/voice claiming to be unlimited and not counts against your usage.
But if you are on a really tight budget and you know what you're getting yourself into then I do recommend it for the price mainly if you are usually connected to Wifi within your area, like at school, work, home, train station etc it works for me (NYC) and don't really worry about my phone bill in general.
So just to get things strait the 500mb of free data are for the phones are on the Sprint network or the phones that t uhh purchase from Freedompop or the BYOD program of Freedompop.
While on the gsm global SIM, which runs on AT&T and T-Mobile networks . Only provide with 200MG, which it does say when you check out with the SIM card
What I am seeing on their website, is that you get 200mb on the global plan, and 500mb on the Sprint plan.
gran video showing how Freedompop works. I have to say that for people who travels abroad is a great alternative to roaming charges. For example, I'm from Argentina and when travelling to the US I can buy this SIM to use whatsapp mainly and if I travel to Europe, I can use data for free too. The service as a primary phone service isn't quite good.
I agree!
these tutorials on downgrading are so helpful. gave me the confidence to sign up
Well I tried FreedomPOP and they stated free service but then started adding fees that I was not expecting and not really explain up front. The main thing is always, when its free there is a catch. At least they gave me back the $15 credit during the trial period, but not protection fee that I did not use.
I guess I'm the only person that snagged the Free FreedomPop unlimited talk, text 1GB of plan. They have made no money from me in the 10 months I had the plan. It's a great 2nd phone.
There is now a 4G LTE Sim running on the AT&T network. Right now it is $0.99.
Have you tried Project Fi yet? I say Project Fi is better. Although it only works on Nexus phones. I know a lot people hate that part. I rather pay $20/month just for unlimted talk and text than Freedompop
He already tried Project Fi. Watch his video
ok
i just bought the sim today for $4.99 and will be using their free service since i only use my phone for emergency i barely talk or text people
They will charge you after cancellation your phone numbers and you cannot do anything. You have to call every month to the company and ask why are they charging you for services that you did not get.
You did something wrong when you signed up.. I signed up and declined all offers and have the basic plan was only charged ¢.01 the person who i got the sim card from (only $5.00) gave me a list of friends to add and now I have 900mb of data per month. the friends part is a pyramid scheme but doesn't cost you anything. They gave me 200MB for some anniversary. The only problem I have with them is that I can't upgrade to the premium plus so my data rolls over even the CSR couldn't.. that's the only problem I've had with them
I just bought a FreedomPop SIM, though I did it through Amazon instead of giving them my credit card online. I already have an unlimited T-Mobile SIM card, so I figured that this would make a good backup SIM for use in my old smartphone. Hopefully I can also set it up with PayPal, and completely avoid any charges.
Good luck!
Stetson Doggett Am I going to need it?
+Zack Schmiesing how much are you paying for your T-Mobile unlimited plan
i signed up using a disposable credit card number. anyone with a citibank credit card number can go to the citibank website and create a disposable credit card number that can only be used once. and i set a $20 limit on it so freedompop cannot overcharge me
Freedompop has been running a promo where you can log in and order your global GSM SIM for the amazing price of 1 cent instead of 99 cents or $9.99 . You have to put in your credit card information and as the video says, you get signed up for the $19.99 1 gigabyte plan. I somehow got signed up for 2 SIMS. I'm pleased as I got charged 2 cents and got to put service on two of my devices. I'm just in the first month so I have yet to see how downgrading to the free service tiers will work, if it doesn't I'm hustled out of two monthly subscription fees. I'm optimistic, I will attempt my downgrade on Feb 1 or after I exhaust my gigabyte on the respective sims, whichever comes first.
lol prepare to be disappointed , u cant hustle these guys, theyre pro level hustlers , theyre international scammers
They definitely get money out of you. You have to disable that auto top up and they charge $5 for that. I've paid it already on my accounts. They put a small warning that they would charge that $5 each time I disabled auto top off. The big test is early February.
lool if u manage to play them i will be so surprised , keep us updated
what do you mean auto top off?? they charged 5$ for downgrading? I'm just asking cuz i bought the 1cent sim card I was planning to use for my 8yr old for emergency use only so I was going to downgrade to free sevices.... what is auto top off is that a monthly thing?
I'm pretty sure the $5 charge for removal of auto top off is only a one time charge. You don't have to remove it BUT you probably will want to, especially since you are putting this phone in the hands of a youngster. Auto Top Off is enabled by default . If you log on to the freedompop web page and you click on BILLING , YOU WILL see billing settings and you can see payment information then shipping address followed by Automatic Top Off . By default it will say ENABLED Yes. You can click Edit to change it to NO. If you do, you are charged $5. They say this is to avoid people using data and not paying. However if you leave it enabled, I've read that they don't even wait until you have hit your data cap to charge you an auto top off. They charge it as soon as you are only 100 mb BELOW your data cap. That cap is 200 mb according to the video so you get popped at 100 mb. Moreover, it is difficult to stay under that cap because the VOICE AND TEXT ON FREEDOM POP is VOICE OVER IP, not Cellular voice thus your mobile data is active if you want the phone to even be able to ring or call out, and you are not on WI FI. With data turned on your phone can easily get to 100 GB {note they charge the auto top off here even though your limit is 200 mb. Android apps often auto update and will do so on mobile data unless you can find a setting to update on WI FI only. VOIP calls also use data at about 1 MB per minute. Freedompop is supposed to credit back data used for voice and text but I'm concerned mistakes can be made. SMS Text uses trivial data. If you use any apps they will use data. If you dare to use You Tube, you can use 400 MB in 20 minutes of video viewing. If auto top off is turned on, you will get auto topped off {random charges} and it could happen at a great rate. Turn it off and at least , you just get your account suspended when you go over unless you log on and pay for some extra data or upgrade your plan, and that gives you more control than you have with auto top off.
Say I pick the absolute free option (99 cent sim), will they charge me money/data if I'm hooked up to my own home WiFi? I will be using my own phone (Note 4) I also use Google Voice for texting.
I've been using Hangouts voice and text over WiFi for like 3 years now.
My question is, If I use Hangouts on FreedomPop would it use all of my 200MB of data? or Not?
I'm trying to deactivate premium plus but, it just takes me to a 404 page...
Great review! They were having a sale on the AT&T 4G LTE SIM card for $0.01. YES, one cent! LOL. Excited to try out the service and see how it is. I'll make sure to downgrade!
Tbh I think the best thing to do with freedompop is buy a SIM just before your credit / debit card expires so you can avoid any of the hidden charges
down grading to the free plan isn't that difficult, I too ordered the 4g lte sim card but it wasn't compatible with my iphone 6, the global sim is fine, have no issues so far and it's been 6 months.
It now costs $5 dollars to downgrade to their free plan(Anti fraud cost claim). I'd suggest being explicit when signing up that you want to start with the free plan and not get a 1 month premium trial(if possible).
Or purchase a SIM elsewhere and activate with free plan later.
I use freepop when i am abroad in other countries to avoid charges i just swap sim cards...only downside is...the app is extremely intrusive and seems to have data logging that sends your entries and voice data to a third party.. so be careful what you say/do in voice and text..
The video playback was a turn off for and the data added a turn off too
AT 6:38, Whatsapp is mentioned to be an alternative to the awkward freedompop messaging app. However, I would just like to point out that whatsapp doesn't recognize the number you get with freedompop because its not the number assigned to the sim card. (From personal experience.) So technically, you can't really use WhatsApp with freedompop.......
True. But don't you need to have a "real" number to sign up with google voice?
Bobby Cool You can get a Google Voice number for free, and for the part of the activation where you need a "real" phone number you can just borrow a friend's phone.
I like your Tesla Parking sign bro.
Thanks!
Plus you didn't really take a full review in freedom, you just took a look at free gsm global SIM
i have sprint iPhone 4s is good for date use only
Why would you need global coverage on a free cell phone plan that is not that good? Go ring plus!
You can get the other 500mb by using freedom friends. There is a slickdeals thread.
HOW DO I DOWNGRADE MY PLAN ..when I hover over "my account" "plans does not show under how else can I do it
Good review! I too was disappointed with Freedom Pop
Good review. You know you do get 400MB if you don't do the global SIM. Does anyone know how to link the freedom pop dialer to things like google map call links?
so if I'm like in the woods with no way of having service this would work?
Can you still use their services without using their sim card?
So do they not actually provide normal sms and phone minutes? You have to use the app for those?
thanks for the great review. I am looking to get a couple lines just for employees to run credit cards on I believe this may work well
You're welcome!
so can i use my non unlocked galaxy mega for sprint on freedompop without unlocking my phone?
On the AT&T network its 200mb of free data, but if you choose to use it on Sprint it's 500mb.
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to test the Sprint network for the life of me. My review is based on my experience on the AT&T network.
the website should say that then....
thanks for your review. That's shady of them to sign you up automatically after entering email addy... I won't be freedom popping anytime soon.
how did u get quick replying to text i cant even preview the text msg with out opening the app
can you please do a metroPCS review?
I hope to do one soon! There are a LOT of carriers I'd still like to test out! :)
I'm finding that there are country related issues for some services, so far Pandora and Google Hangouts. If you listen to Pandora music and you load it from WI FI it will run. After you switch to mobile data {by walking out of the range of your WI FI or turning it off} you get a notification "Sorry Pandora is not available in your country ". I was thinking WTH{or F} I'm in Ohio, USA and Pandora always works. However, one will note that when setting up the SIM and adding the freedompop. foggmobile.com APN, which is required for you to have data service {along with enabled roaming} you see the SIM has APN's for 3 internet and 3 MMS named three.co.uk . That's the United Kingdom. Freedompop is an MVNO for them. Then UK provider Three allows roaming at zero cost on the AT&T network in 3G mode only here in the United States So Pandora thinks you are in the UK. I found a similar country issue with Google Hangouts when dialing a phone number using Google Voice. It automatically puts a +44 in front of ANY NUMBER you attempt to dial and that is a UK country code. Call does not get completed. However, incoming calls come in perfectly fine. You have to dial out using the freedom pop voice number you have been provided, which is tricky if you have friends who screen their calls using caller ID until you are able to inform them that your new freedompop number is a call from you.
Dope review man, real informative. Great job
Thank you, Freddy!
Oh well I just fell for the magic trick. lol they had a 1 day sale on the global sim order today and pay $1. I checked my account and that is legit. Just $1 today. My sim being processed now.
Pretty thorough review, thanks for the heads up!
wait, so i heard the gsm and cmda unlocked ihones dont work well withg at and t, soo.. will it work for a completely unlvoked phone>?
So if i got google voive or hangouts would it use my data for texts? Broke college kid trying to save cash. I was gonna get it so i could text and call away from home and then really only use internet at home on WiFi but still have data on the road if i need it
Day eight: Still no word from tech support. Had a new phone for over a week now and can't use it because FreedomPop refuses to respond to my request for my port-out PIN.
I'm trying to port my number from FreedomPop to Project Fi. The standard "last four digits of your phone number" didn't work for me, so I had to contact their tech support. That was last Wednesday. And last Friday. And last Friday again because they refuse to offer phone support to free users. Despite having only recently downgraded two days prior because it was the end of my billing period.
+Stetson Doggett I was also able to get in touch with them via a phone last Friday. They denied me phone support because I was on the free plan.
Question... Since you make calls with the FPapp, does this require you to be where there is wifi or does it use the Sprint/Att network for calls. I am legally blind and just need a emergency phone for power ottages but if the calling part runs on wifi, then I can't use this
Now that they have WhatsApp unlimited for some sims it looks like another great excuse to avoid using their terrible messaging app. Between this and Truphone I'm mostly satisfied with what I want a smartphone to do in between Wifi hotspots.
I just downgraded my FreedomPop account to remove the Premium Plus extras (because I couldn't get hotspot tethering to work on my Moto E). I will probably eventually port my FreedomPop number (from the Sprint side) to an AT&T MVNO such as PureTalk USA or Red Pocket. (Data works great on my Moto E, but I have yet to successfully make an outgoing phone call with that device via FreedomPop.)
I appreciated your coverage of FreedomPop's new GSM service -- but I think the GSM service uses T-Mobile's towers, not AT&T. If native T-Mobile coverage is weaker in your area than AT&T, that might explain some of the issues you were having. Since I don't plan to get into Google Voice/Google Hangouts, should I switch to a GSM-unlocked device, I will probably bite the bullet & find a good prepaid phone plan. (I still have an LG Volt on RingPlus, so I wouldn't be phoneless during a port-out from FreedomPop.)
So, why would it use T-Mobile Coverage if it says AT&T in the status bar at the top? I don't see how that would work.
I thought I read online somewhere (maybe the FreedomPop site?) that FreedomPop GSM used T-Mobile's towers. If it does use AT&T towers, though, then we can just go back to blaming FreedomPop's VOIP-preferred method of handling phone calls for the lousy call quality. I ended up just getting a new phone number on the prepaid GSM carrier I picked instead of porting out from FreedomPop, but I've pretty much given up on using FreedomPop. (Which kind of stinks, because the Moto E 2015 I was using on FreedomPop's CDMA side was a nice phone, and the data worked fine -- but I never could make phone calls with it.)
That's good to hear. Living in a small town away from major urban areas, I have to carefully check coverage maps for any carrier I'm considering (and check my kid's college addresses against those coverage maps, too). I wonder if FreedomPop's GSM coverage would work better in my area than their CDMA coverage?
freedom pop is basically prepaid wireless. they won't tell you that until it's already to late. BUYER BE AWARE it's only free if you give them $15 JUST in case you go over. that's not free to me if you pay for it in advance.
It's so horrible it's funny lol. Thanks for this review and letting us know about this company... Keep doing what you're doing. 👍
I think the app has got better!
I ordered and downgraded the FP sim. How do I get unlimited Hangouts talk and text using the FP sim?
Sign up for Google Voice first. www.google.com/voice
Check out my Google Voice and Hangouts review for more info: ua-cam.com/video/zHlipNYn24k/v-deo.html
Hi, nice video, would you know what will happen when you deplete 200MB data? Are they going to cut you off or charge you something for each MB?
For a brief second at 2:01 in the video it says additional data costs $0.03 per MB. :) So 3 cents per MB if you go over.
Do you only get 3G because they limit it to 3G or is it because of your area? I saw that they offer HSPA+
Based on some other comments it may just be my area.
Stetson Doggett I only get 3G too, I think they limit it to 3G.
if you ring them up and hassle them you can get the 500MB/month, but you'll feel like an annoying beggar.
Freedom Pop LTE works good for me.
Freedompop offers a 4G LTE Sim card that runs on AT&T, so the speed issue is gone.
+Jay N Thanks for the info! I'll check it out and possibly create another review video.
Excellent review, thanks.
yo what about with data, what are the prices like.
Thanks, great review, very helpful
You're welcome!
kinda a bummer that you need the app to call and text. I was going to suggest this to my grandma who doesnt need internet and only calls and texts every now and then, but she doesnt have a smartphone :(
unless they have a J2ME version which i doubt.
FreedomPop can work well with Google Voice and Hangouts for talk and text too. FreedomPop provides the data, while Google Voice and Hangouts provides a better app experience.
Stetson Doggett so they are free in the UK, and they work on java feature phones?
Overcharged ? What you been ??
Freedom pop used to be pretty good when it started since it was unlimited voice and text..
I guess in a way it still is unlimited talk and text, if you use Google Voice and Hangouts.
Stetson Doggett True, either way, keep up these videos!
Could probably avoid all those problems by using the superior Android OS, but I can't take the review seriously if only used on the obsolete iOS.
This is a dingus comment. Let everyone enjoy whichever operating system they prefer! It should be up to FreedomPop to provide an optimal experience on both operating systems.
You do you know app compatibility is totally different on each OS, right? Android has probably more compatibility issues only because of hardware limitations because of all the different devices, but almost any software that's cross platform doesn't work well on iOS usually.
+Helgen X every os has advantages
THANKS, GREAT OBJECTIVE REVIEW!!! FREEDOM POP LOOKS LIKE A SCAM!! THEY HOPE MOST FOLKS WILL END UP, ACCIDENTALLY PAYING!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!
***** , IF THEY ARE DELIBERATELY MAKING IT DIFFICULT, THAT IS DECEPTIVE, THAT IS A SCAM. IF IT WERE NOT A SCAM, THEY WOULD NOT ADVERTISE AS FREE. STOP FIGHTING FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO SCAM YOU. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU MAN??
Victor D. Romero Is your caps lock key broke?
lol
for the free service 200mins can i call philippines im from US. US to phillipine calls.
I am uncertain. Their website says they will provide coverage in the Philippines soon, but I don't know what this means in terms of making phone calls from the US to the Philippines.
Hi....I Have An GSM Unlocked iPhone 5s.....Can I Use The Sim On My Phone?
Yes.
Excellent Information! Thanks!
I still want it !
However thank you for doing a review on the Pruett! :)
Can I use iMessage through wifi or data by just texting other iPhone users that use iMessage?
You cannot use iMessage with FreedomPop because the FreedomPop number is tied to the application and not the SIM card in the iPhone.
Wally Lau Lol u can use iMessage through your Apple ID email instead
Good review ,Thanks
I Fanpop drop their free service recently there's nothing free anymore
They use Sprint towers.
i do not have a&at i have nothing i just bought this sim card because it is cheep and good and i like the free month i don't have it yet though
I signed up for freedom pop and after installing the Sim card I was unable to use hangouts/gv for free. I was being prompted by hangouts to purchase credits in order to complete a call. Plus, when I am not on wifi I am unable to make or receive calls using the freedom pop app. have you had these issues?
I have not had these issues. Is your cellular data working properly? Make sure you have the correct APN settings entered.
now its 100min,100text,200mb of data. i guess is alright since its free.
Do I have to use freedompop often to keep the phone number active?
I don't think so. Just checked, my account is still active and I haven't used it in months.
The Freedompop on At&t is as slow as when you run out of data on T-Mobile
can they legally limit you to 200mb of the free 500mb they stated on their site?
+element74 I'm not sure. I think it's 500MB on the Sprint network and 200MB on the AT&T network.
I have Freedompop for 1 year on the Sprint network
and do have problems
the messaging app you need to work with freedompop service is buggy
and calls are poor quality sometimes
and need data to make calls unless you upgrade to "Premium Voice" $4 which doesn't need data to make calls
no 4G speeds even if it does say "4G" you are not getting fast speeds whatsoever
now for the new ATT version of Freedompop the call quality is good but the messaging app is still buggy
only had ATT for a month so far ok but the plans are much higher if you decide to be a paying customer
and last thing calling support is virtually non-exist I'm a paying customer and still I get message that the live support is for paying customers only
email is joke if they don't back to you in 1 week
I get a message saying if one week passes they assume the problem was solved
leaving me with no support whatoever
You guy better sign up Ringplus?
I think RingPlus is better.
right?
I plan to just stick it in my Arduino shield. lol
i have this and i can't get to actually work..and the support tutorial looks like advanced rocket science to me. ..good thing it was free.. oh well
is it really free just pay for sim card and never pay again because it is free
Yup! Just remember to downgrade to the free plan!
