If you cancel all the "extras" is it TRULY 400mb free, or is there a minimum monthly fee for the free data? I'm looking at this for emergencies only.

yes. If you do not add on any of the extras, You will not get a bill. That is how I am using it. Just be aware that FreedomPop does hold in reserve that last 100mb of the promised 500mb so you are correct that it is 400mb free. Also, just so you are aware the terms of service says (or used to say) you would be charged $.99 if you do not use 4mb per month but they have suspended that fee.

My offer was 500mb free and so far that has been true. I am required to use the device at least once a month to maintain the free service

I have the HTC freedompop phone, essentially the same concept, and as hard as it is to believe and I feel guilty, I get 500mb free each month. I was going to upgrade and probably will since it is a great deal.

No, There are is no monthly fee. It is truly free when you activate the device it will offer you free 2.5 gb free but if you look closer it will say first month and the second option is 500mb of free data monthly for life. Use that one. after setup log in to your account and turn off "auto top of/auto refill" of data or when you get to 450mb of data they will charge to refill.

I have used it for over a month after canceling the extras based on what I read online. Yes, it has been free for me. When you use it, just be sure to make sure (1) you are in a good area to get a cell connection and (2) the battery is charged.

After cancel, 500MB free, but if you could able to add any more friends on your circle you should be able to get more 500MB. Total 1GB is free.

Its truly 500mb free - no fees unless you exceed the 500mb and then its a minimal cost. I've never exceeded so - didn't need it. The service can be a bit spotty - depending on where you are - but if you have a good signal - then you have a good connection.

I have had mine for over a year now, and haven't paid a dime beyond my initial purchase price.

400mb is free, but make sure to not to subscribe to any other add-on. Download and upload speeds are not consistent, but of course we can't complain as its free.

correct, you have to register the internet and pay for Internet through Verizon. Back in the day when I could get an unlimited data plan for $20 a month it was a pretty good deal but with the direction they're going in it's a pretty big rip off now. Unfortunately I don't know of any alternatives for you. If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone a good computer guy can often sync your phones Bluetooth to your computer so that your computer will run off of your phones internet. that is what I did. Good luck.

I am looking at their site, and if you go to the "free data for life" section, you can find the "eligible phones, tables and internet devices" and this one is listed there. So either their website is wrong, or the rep you spoke to is wrong......might be worth pursuing.

I bought this phone an it broke within 8 months , Virgin Mobile gave Me back a refurbished unit . Yeah Im on that plan too for $25 a month. As long as You stay on it , You will be billed $25 , but if You go to the $40 unlimited , and change Your mind a month or 2 years , You wont be able to use that plan again and will be charged $35 a month .

There is a monthly fee if you choose to get more than 500Mb per month and just check out the website freedompop.comhttp://www.freedompop.com/faq_answer.htm?articleId=24118322

When setting it up with Verizon a data package is required, but only costs $10 extra a month on top of your regular bill. I have not tried calling Verizon and asking them if there is an option to remove it, but when activating it online I had no choice.

It depends what you have set in your FreedomPop settings. If you have automatic data top off, you will automatically purchase another 1 Gig of data at a decent rate, but if you don't set auto top off, you will be charged high rates per megabyte like any other cellphone data overage.

I'm not a tester and don't own the unit (not yet anyway), but I've been checking it out... yes, the monthly service is $10-13 after the initial 3 month free period expires. Based on my experience with other units, this is about the same as the cost of one or more map updates per year that other vendors charge for, but the service includes more ... so for me, this will not be a big concern.

The device price is one time. We offer a Free 500MB plan that is free each and every month. We also have a variety of additional paid plans if you need more data, as well as services like Speed Plus and Data Rollover that have small monthly costs. They are all optional though.

Sorry Siffert but that isn't true. I have an ATT Fusion (posted up a review on there also) Which all I did was add a 100$ card to it. I chose the option to not have a data package. I use wifi @ home and use grooveip to make/receive free callsIm not sure if this phone is "banned" from doing the same thing but the fusion 100% works. I have 2 of them actually with this same setup

Hi. You get what is the latest advertised on the website. I activated the 29$ plan and got 500mb and unlimited talk plus what is said on the website. I guess the 50mb and 250min were part of an old plan?

None what-so-ever. It can only be used to replace a defective unit for a service previously entered into. Verizon no longer offers the 3GB service, but if you have it, keep it because it's unlimited monthly useage. You don't get those deal anymore.

If you have the 500mb-per-month "free" plan, NO. If you have selected one of their higher-usage, paid plans of 1 gigabyte of data or more per month , YES.

I dont' pay anything. I think the only way you have to pay a monthly fee is if you use there cloud for storage of your documents. I store them on my PC so I don't pay anything. Hope that helps

For ATT (as of Nov. 4): $15 for 200MB and $25 for 2GBTo the best of my knowledge, no new customers (or new data plan users) can get the unlimited plan they used to offer.

They typically will charge you 10$ a month for internet, when I had this phone. Otherwise if you can get around not getting a data plan (the 10$ was as low as I could get them to go), they'll charge you by how much data you use (which can get pretty pricy!!)

I have a tmobile $30/ 30 mb plan and its charging me over 1/2 megabyte a day when the phone literally sat on a charger on my local wifi. My account is almost out of its 30 mb plan and I'm not using data at all.What a rip off!
