We’ve got another great deal for you this week from FreedomPop, providers of 100% free high speed internet. Last week we brought you a deal focused on home use, but this week FreedomPop is going mobile with an offer for a refurbished universal USB stick, combined with a trial for 2GB of 3G and 4G data, for the minuscule cost of $15. Just as before, you never need to pay another cent after that to keep receiving mobile data from FreedomPop if you don’t want to, potentially resulting in hundreds of dollars in savings compared with your average providers.
The basic plan for this device from FreedomPop has a monthly cost of precisely $0. You heard right right: zip, zero, nada. The the basic plan gives you 500MB of data a month, which isn’t a ton, but it will be enough for intermittent use or light surfing and e-mail checking. Those who want to stream music and videos more freely will probably want to stick with the premium 2GB plan, which costs $20 per month. FreedomPop has bundled a free trial of the premium plan with this offer, so you can just stream as you normally would and figure out at the end of the month what plan works for you. There’s no contract or downgrade fee to worry about.
FreedomPop operates on Sprint’s network, utilizing WiMAX for 4G speeds, so the first thing to do is check your coverage. All is not lost if you’re not in the WiMAX zone though, since you can still take advantage of wider 3G coverage during your trial to see if it that’s enough for you. The Freedom Stick 250U works more or less like a USB flash drive — just plug it into your laptop and you’re set, no cables or charging required. The stick features a 180-degree swivel design to make sure the antenna sticks out in a way that works for you. It’s designed for one device at a time, and is compatible as far back as Windows XP or Mac OS 10.5, or even some versions of Linux, Android, and Chrome OS.
FreedomPop doesn’t require a long-term commitment and as we’ve said, there’s no fee for downgrading your plan, so it’s really up to you if you ever want to pay for expanded service. That being said, there are some things to be aware of. First, you’ll be automatically enrolled in the 2GB plan when your trial ends, so if you decide it’s not for you, you’ll need to remember to manually downgrade. Also, the 500MB free plan only covers 4G access, and if you want 3G “roaming” you’ll need to opt for a paid plan, though they start at a super cheap $4 per month. If you’re worried that WiMAX may be gone by the end of 2015, FreedomPop has promised an easy transition for their customers when the time comes.
With this deal right now you can get a refurbished Freedom Stick 250U ($69.99 value new), a free trial of their 2GB premium plan ($19.99 value), and free shipping ($14.99 value), all for just $15. That’s a very low cost and makes for an easy way to give it a try and see if this service is a good fit for your needs. If it is, you could save huge versus what you’d have to pay with the typical big carriers.
