What network does FreedomPop use?
The GSM LTE Sim runs off a top ONLY Nationwide 4G LTE GSM Network, 100% Free 4G LTE Internet can be yours with our basic FREE plan! There is no contract, no commitment, cancel anytime. Connection is fast but as for any service providers, that is based on the location.

It will arrive already activated to your account. You will just need to set up the APN and download our APP. Please follow the instructions on the package the sim card came in.

If I signed up for a paid plan or trial, how do I downgrade it?

You can downgrade your plan/trials directly from your FreedomPop account page. Please Note!
If your credit balance is less than $2, you will incur a charge when you attempt to downgrade your account. When downgrading to the free plan, an account balance is required to protect from fraud and leakage, as data usage can be delayed up to 3 hours. A pop up will alert you to the $20 charge. You will not incur the charge (and the downgrade will not be complete) until you confirm through the pop-up window. The $20 charge puts $20 in credit onto your account. For more information please refer to the following support article: https://support.freedompop.com/ap...#downgrade

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription by logging into your account with your email and password.

We encourage all our users to come to us first to see if we can explain any charge or resolve any billing issue before further escalation.


Will I be able to keep my current FreedomPop number?
Yes! With this LTE SIM account you will first need to choose a new number and if desired to transfer over your number on an active FreedomPop account please contact us here for Admin assistance via PM or visit our Community Forums with your transfer requests.

Will I be able to port in my phone number from another carrier?
Yes! You will first need to choose a new number and if desired to port in a phone number from another carrier please refer to the following support article: https://support.freedompop.com/ap...e%20number
Please Note: There is a $9.99 fee to port in a number.


Have your Freedom Friends Program changed(Freedom Friends)

*We're sorry to say, but we've been subject to targeted abuse with users leveraging multiple accounts to aggregate additional free data. We have tried to battle the abuse by adding conditions around accounts with no data usage over several months, but unfortunately, we have been forced to limit the friends sharing program.

You can now earn 5MB of additional data for every friend that joins our service per month, up to a maximum of 50MBs per month. Both your account and your friends' account must be active. If either account has no data usage or activity, sharing data will not work.

it says 1gb free included, does that mean after downgrade it will be 200 min/ 500 txt and 1gb or 200 MB.

if it is 200 MB then its not good... I wish at least they can bump to 500 MB...

Now the free data is 250 Mb monthly, for most of us, it is useless.

I get why they want you to have a credit when you downgrade. The part that's aggravating is when your credit disappears if you don't use it within a certain time period.

Other than that the service has been perfect for me. I'm going on 3 years and haven't had any weird charges like other people talk about.

HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME OUT

I am currently shopping for a phone and I have Tracfone and Freedompop as my carriers
my phones are old and I don't know what to get but I want
Android 7 and a good camera, replaceable battery and something that could switch between Tracfone and Freedompop so a removable sim card.

thing is i just looked on Tracfone and the BYOD sim cards are saying
4G LTE compatible with TMobile, Verizon, ATT

"In order to connect to the Tracfone 4G LTE network, your device must operate on Band II, IV or in certain areas, Band 12. For 3G or other 4G service, your device must operate on Band II (1900 MHz) or IV (1700/2100 MHz). GSM devices that do not support these bands may operate at 2G (EDGE) speeds."

and the Freedompop phone i have now is a Sprint Network

My coverage in my area is good for both freedompop and tracfone and i don't travel

So I don't know if I will buy this first for Tracfone then switch it to Freedompop .. or buy it for Freedompop and need to switch to Tracfone... but i would like that ability if I can

MY BUDGET IS SUPER LOW under $100


Right now Tracfone has a LG Stylo 3 for $125 which i could probably swing if I could use it on both tracfone and eventually after a year use it on Freedompop once I can get Tracfone to unlock it.

anyway thanks if you can help

The free data is 200mb, you can add "FreedomFriends" to add an additional 50mb total but if they are not all active and in good standing at the time of your plan renewal you will not get the extra data. Surprise!!! overage and automatic top up.

Downgrading is not free. You need to have a credit before downgrading, because they need to protect themselves against a 3 hour data usage. The minimum top-up is $10. You also cannot turn data limiter because it is not also free.

I got fooled because they write this in big letters only after you ordered the line and while asking for a second one.


Don't even attempt to buy this unless you are willing to pay them
