Service is on AT&T
FreeUP uses cellular, not voip like Freedompop

FreeUp Mobile
23 Corporate Drive, Suite 15
Newport Beach, CA. 92660

That is on their envelope which the sim card came in.
WHICH, if you google it, they are shared office rentals.

How does the Free Plan work?
Simply sign up and set up your account by choosing the Free Plan. Download Rewards App and start earning credits to use for add-on options or to upgrade your plan. This can be done online https://freeup.billaway.com/dashBoard/index or via our rewards app. Remember to log into the Rewards app and take one action at least once a month in order to maintain your Free Plan. Remember to update the APN settings on your mobile device to enable cellular data.

Will I be able to use the FreeUP Talk app on the Free Plan?
No. FreeUP Talk and Global Calling & Messaging is only available on FreeUP Mobile Unlimited Global Calling plans.

We reserve the right to terminate accounts on the Free Plan that are inactive for 60-days with no usage. Your Free Plan will be deactivated, if you fail to login to your account at the end of each billing cycle and manually renew. A valid card on file is required and there is a limit of one Free Plan per person.

SERVICE END DATE: Subscribers on the Free Plan must log into the Rewards app at least once per month and take one action to maintain Free Talk & Text Plan.

So my freeup phone number was (302) 555-1234. My freeup account number for that phone number when I ported it out was 3025551234. And yes, the pin is the 4 digit that I set up.

Does this provide actual cell minutes, or just data calls? It seems to, but not sure.

Might be a good second sim to drop in with the FreedomPop free plan when actual cell calls are needed.

Nice and repped OP! I don't know if you are affiliated with the company since it's your first post but it def looks interesting and promising. It would be ideal for an emergency/secondary phone as it's 500 minutes OR texts not 500 for both. This would also be a good possibility for those that want to port in from the free Sprint plan that needs a place to land for 45 days.

According to this, it runs on the AT&T Network. This looks very promising..

So devious that one of the "new users" created an account 2 years ago just for this. A new user isn't necessarily new. Just low post count.

I ordered mine a couple of days ago and was gonna wait to receive and activate before posting on SD. Freedompop finally disabled my Global SIM, so this seems like a good alternative. It appears to be real talk/text and not VOIP.

Signed up using a ShopSafe temporary card number from Bank of America to ensure no funny business or unapproved charges. We will see how this works...repped OP!

Here's the catch, you have to use their rewards app once a month as a free user to maintain your account. That seems to be their business model. They are an affiliate marketer. Instead of getting cash back you get phone service. But even their paid plans are pretty cheap. Pay2go is 2 cents a minute.
