FreedomPop launches expansive FreedomShop refurbished smartphone program
Why would anyone ever bring their phones to Sprint coverage-relying MVNO FreedomPop as opposed to just sticking with the Now Network, opting for one of the three other major US cellular service providers, or at least picking a more established second-tier carrier?
Well, we probably should remind you this is the ambitious startup that launched a global SIM with free mobile data across 25 countries a little while back. On FreedomPop, you can also enjoy a 100 percent free “Basic Plan”, including 500 texts, 200 minutes, and 500MB each month, or pay just $19.99 for unlimited talk, text, and 1GB data.
Don’t forget about ubiquitous Wi-Fi calling and texting, free unlimited calling and texting between FreedomPop phones, and a sweet “no contract, no commitment, cancel anytime” promise.
Starting today, a brand-new FreedomShop is at your disposal too for super-affordable purchases of, well, disposable handhelds. “Certified pre-owned” is actually the politically correct term, 30-day money back guarantee, 90-day warranty and all.
Basically, you risk nothing trying out a “like-new” $170 iPhone 5s, for instance, $40 refurbished second-gen Moto E, $280 LG G4, $120 Nexus 5, $450 Galaxy S7, $390 iPhone 6, and the list goes on. Who knows, you may find those oldies are still goldie material, and switch to FreedomPop for good to help this ambitious mobile operator sustain an “expansive and unique supply chain” of used phones, aimed at undercutting the “typical re-sellers found on eBay or Amazon.”

FreedomPop wants to hook you up with a (mostly) free-to-use global hotspot
To the surprise of no one who’s actually owned a smartphone, it’s quite difficult to get excited about mobile service plans. Sure, some places you’ll pay more, and some less, or some will lure you with promises of deep buckets of data. But beyond a few shifting variables, after enough time they all start looking pretty similar. At least, that may be the case with the big carriers, but once we move into MVNO space, with other companies paying for the rights to access those large, established networks, the options start getting a lot more interesting. Google’s Project ...

FreedomPop and Intel will soon join forces for mystery Wi-Fi-first sub-$200 phone
Founded in Los Angeles just four years ago, Sprint MVNO FreedomPop is already looking to branch out after a successful Series B funding round which saw semiconductor giant Intel and a “strategic partner” invest big bucks in the still little known mobile phone service provider.Don’t jump to outlandish virtual reality or wearable-centric speculation though, as FreedomPop should remain very much focused on affordable smartphones sold without contractual obligations, on a Wi-Fi-first network.That’s right, the US and UK-involved carrier plans to release an exclusive handheld sometime ...

iPhone 6s deal wars continue with T-Mobile, FreedomPop
Ante upped. At the outset of the iPhone 6s debut, we saw T-Mobile strike hot iron with an AMPED up Un-carrier upgrade scheme, providing the newest Apple smartphones to the customers who elect to use them at a continuous $15/month lease. Sprint chased that program with its own. T-Mobile jumped back by pricing its more conventional installment plan option for the iPhone 6s at, on average, $7/month less than its competitors. Apple made waves itself by introducing the pricier, but more robust and ...
