The FreedomPop Privacy Phone is touted to be the only smartphone as well as mobile service that enables encrypted communications.

    10 Old Sprint Phones Can Now Get Totally Free Voice, Texts, and Data

    FreedomPop’s crazy free voice, text, and data plan is awesome, but the one catch was that you had to buy in with a (sort of meh) $100 phone. Not anymore. If you have an old Sprint phone laying around, you might be able to get on the FreedomPop train without spending one single cent.

    FreedomPop now lets you bring your own phone, offers $99 HTC Evo 4G

    FreedomPop now lets you bring your own phone, offers $99 HTC Evo 4G

    FreedomPop’s free cellphone plan is tempting, but we doubt that everyone wants to use one of the carrier’s few available handsets. Thankfully, they won’t have to. The discount provider has just launched a bring-your-own option that lets anyone with a compatible Sprint phone (CDMA plus LTE or WiMAX) jump on FreedomPop’s extra-frugal services. Subscribers who don’t yet have a phone are getting a little more choice at the same time; the carrier is simultaneously resurrecting the HTC Evo 4G, which is available for $99 contract-free. You’ll still have to live in an area with healthy Sprint coverage for FreedomPop’s plans to make sense, but the new option means that you won’t have to abandon a favorite device if you’re interested in switching.

    FreedomPop intros a free plan: includes 200 voice minutes, 500 texts and 500MB of data per month

    FreedomPop intros a free plan: includes 200 voice minutes, 500 texts and 500MB of data per month

    It’s no longer a summertime tease: FreedomPop’s freemium mobile phone service is now officially a go. Launched in beta today, the operator’s basic plan offers consumers a voice/text/data bundle that nets them 200 anytime minutes, 500 texts and 500MBs for the price of, well, nothing per month — and it’s contract-free, too. There’s also a more robust unlimited voice and text package for chattier users that runs about $11/mo. Keep in mind, FreedomPop’s network piggybacks on Sprint 3G, WiMAX and LTE, so coverage, reception and call quality (it’s VoIP) will be vary depending on your location and any data overages will cost you $0.01/MB and $10/GB.

    It’s not all free champagne and strawberries, though — there is an actual price of entry, and it comes in the form of HTC’s EVO Design, offered at a very reasonable $99. Users accustomed to more device choice will have to hold out until later this year, as FreedomPop does plan to add other Android devices to its lineup. For now, though, it’s extremely slim pickings. But can you really look a gift horse in the mouth? We didn’t think so, freeloaders.

    FreedomPop Launches Free Cell Phone Service

    FreedomPop Launches Free Cell Phone Service

    FreedomPop has certainly been making a name for itself over the past few months as they first set to upset ISPs by offering free broadband Internet earlier this year, and just a few months ago, the company announced they would be offering a completely free smartphone service. If you’ve been keeping an eye on FreedomPop’s free smartphone service, your day has finally arrived as the company’s freemium mobile phone service is now up and running.

    Similar to FreedomPop’s other offerings, users will be given their first block of data for free, allowing users to pay for addition data if they require it. For its cell phone business, FreedomPop requires its users to purchase a compatible device up front, which subscribers will be given 500MB of data, 500 text messages and 200 anytime voice minutes for free each month. The only device FreedomPop has available for its customers to purchase is the HTC Evo Design 4G, which can be purchased on their website for $99.

    If the HTC Evo Design 4G doesn’t make you want to immediately jump on the FreedomPop bandwagon, the company says they’ll be adding more Android handsets soon, although they didn’t say exactly when or what phones they were planning on adding.
