FreedomPop is a phone company from which you already we have spoken on other occasionsLet's summarize, it is a service that offers basic telephone and data rates completely free of charge, without cheating or cardboard, it is simply free. The basic service has no cost, and the cost of advanced services such as unlimited calls and a good amount of GBs are at really low prices. Well, this alternative to common operators that has spread throughout the world has already reached Spain, FreedomPop has already enabled its web store so that you can enjoy its free service packages.
What's the trick? We are wondering. In principle, it does not have it, it is a freemium service, in short, they live by creating a need for you so that you end up acquiring the rest of the services they offer you, which are basically rates much higher than the basic one with prices that could break the market. The most relevant feature is that WhatsApp does not consume Mbs, with any of its functions, that is, we can make a unlimited use of WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging application. All this means that if you are a user who does not require much data or minutes, and you settle for the basics, you are taking time to request a FreedomPop card on its official website.
FreedomPop fees
- BASIC: A rate that has 100 minutes for calls to any mobile or landline, 300 SMS to any destination, 200MB of data at 3G / 4G speed and unlimited use of WhatsApp. For € 0 / month.
- 2GB PREMIUM: Unlimited calls to any mobile or landline destination, unlimited SMS to any mobile or landline destination, 2GB of data, unlimited use of WhatsApp. This rate will allow use for a free month as an introductory offer. For € 8,99 / month.
- 5GB PREMIUM: Unlimited calls to any mobile or landline destination, unlimited SMS to any mobile or landline destination, 2GB of data, unlimited use of WhatsApp. For € 15,99 / month.
The truth is that they are really competent rates, the rest of the companies do not offer such juicy plans, and if they do, they do not have the advantage that the use of WhatsApp will be unlimitedFor both calls and instant messaging and shared files, you can Whastappear as much as you want without fear of melting the data rate you have contracted, a really interesting alternative for those who practically only use this messaging application, since they will spend absolutely nothing.
FreedomPop accumulates data
In addition, FreedomPop offers a service that will accumulate unconsumed data up to a maximum of 20GB, with this, you can make the most of your rates. This service is not free, it will cost € 1,99 per month, but it could be worth it for users who do not make constant use of MBs depending on what situations, it all depends on how we weigh the situation, although personally I think that it is not the most attractive option that FreedomPop has in its list of rates and possibilities.
Additional services and final price
The Visual Voicemail is activated for free, although it later costs 0,99€ per month, in the same way that FreedomPop usage alerts are free for the first month but then cost 0,99€ per month. Therefore, if we are going to select the basic rate, we must be careful to uncheck these additional commitments, thus we will save more money if possible.
Definitely, if we choose the basic rate, we will be charged € 9,99 for the "Activation fee" and € 1,99 for "Standard shipping, 7 to 10 days", therefore, buy the card to use the basic rate it will cost us exactly € 11,98, which is not bad in exchange for 100 minutes and 200MB with unlimited WhatsApp, for life. For all this, you must associate a credit card to your account, where the relevant charges will be made.
We remember that FreedomPop does not allow the speed reduction, so if you exceed the contracted MBs, you will have to pay for them. Excess MBs will cost 0,015cnt per MB consumed.
