Due to my recent experience with Freedompop, I am NO LONGER RECOMMENDING this company. Mad

The company started off with potential but after many sleazy experiences I can definitively say that they are acting in bad faith and not to be trusted.
Please do your own due diligence but my $0.02 is certainly,
STAY AWAY! DO NOT TRY.



P.S.- Early adopters who deposited should probably contact them about a refund. They screwed us. https://slickdeals.net/f/5276432-freedompop-friends?p=79497123#post79497123

There is no need to post in the thread/comments unless you want to, just follow these steps.

#1. Login to freedompop account, and select the "Earn & Share" Tab.

#2. COPY AND PASTE users from below, and select "Invite Friends"
As of , you can only paste 300 characters at a time, so you'll have to spend a few minutes cutting & pasting sections of the list.

#3. Login to slickdeals and Click 'Edit Contents' on the bottom of this wiki, and add your email address to the TOP of this list
Note: For some reason not everyone has access to edit, if you can't, don't worry, you'll most likely get enough friends from step #2. Please don't ask other people to add you to this list unless they plan to remove you later. You are welcome to post your email address in the thread itself asking people to add you as a friend, then edit your post later if you don't want your email address to remain public.



#4. Accept all the friend invites on freedompop (from the 'Invite Friends' subtab under Earn & Share), and when you are satisfied with your number of friends remove yourself from the list. Having more than 10 friends on your account will help you keep your 500 Mb monthly data if someone on your list deactivates their account. You can't have too many friends. If your number of active friends drops below 10, you won't get your full 500mb bonus

Under no circumstances you are obligated to send data to your new friends.

If you aren't going to check your account to accept more friends, please REMOVE YOUR EMAIL FROM THIS LIST so that new people won't waste their time sending you friend invites, especially since we can't just paste the whole list at once anymore, and to avoid your risk of receiving spam from having your email address posted publicly.

Wow, the file had 668 people on Feb 7, now it has 36.
I think you should have kept at least 50 of them. Smilie

I have 430 friends. I can't add by email address anymore, since the freedompop web page changed about 1 week ago. So, maybe I am exceeding a limit? Or the web page is broken.

Do we really just need to add 10 friends? Each friend is 50mb, and the limit is 500mb from what it seems. I just reached 500mb and it won't go higher. :<

I topped at 500Mb with friends.
But I also received 300Mb from someone shared his data limit.
Total remains 1000Mb though(500Mb monthly+500Mb from friends where is my 300Mb someone sent me?..)

I can't find any rules as to how SHARED DATA works: is there a limit, does the limit include bonus from adding friends.
Please, help who knows
Thx

Who can explain:
I added a few dozen friends, got to my max bonus of 500Mb.
So that's 1000Mb total.
Say I overused this month and think I need say 50Mb more to get by. How can I get that?
May I request some from friends, who do not use it this month? Because going the other way around it doesn't seem to work: I requested 300Mb from a friend, got it; THEN added more friends (thanks Slickdeals!) but stuck at 1000Mb. It doesn't go any higher.
Help!

Repped you for your shared spreadsheet work. It has helpful to many SDers. Thanks.

Does anyone know if giving away data to friends will prevent the inactivity fee?

I'll likely have some months I won't use data and regardless will be happy to share

that would be so nice versus turning it on to connect. but since freedom pop said "your device" needs to connect in order to avoid the fee, if you share, your device is still inactive.

i just setup a reminder to connect and go visit slick deals every first of the month. lol

Thanks nuprotocol, I had a feeling that was the case.

Another question..
I see I'm getting 50mb credit for every friend, I thought it was only 10mb per friend.
Is the bump up in credit something new from Freedompop?

I just ordered the hotspot last night, figured I'd get a head start on the friends deal and last I looked a couple of hours ago I had 21 friends with a note next to each one that reads
"xxxxx accepted your invitation to connect, earning you 50MB!"

Also when I ordered they gave me a bonus of 1gb for the basic plan for the first month, ie; 1.5gb before friends.
My account now shows 2gb available.

I hope its real and not just a glitch.
