QuestionDoes the sim card assign you a number?
Asked 6 years ago by Kay.
- Answer FreedomPop will give you a new cell phone number unless you pay to port your old one. If you want to keep your old number, I would recommend porting it to Google Voice instead and just never using the FreedomPop number because the app FreedomPop requires for texting and calls is virtually nonfunctional. From the advice I read, most people with FreedomPop seem to use Google Voice/Hangouts/Hangouts dialer -- it is working fine for me and is a free workaround.

QuestionDoes this annual plan include voicemail & mms texting?
Asked 5 years ago by Justin.
- Answer Freedompop plans are data only GSM SIM plans despite claims of "talk and txt" they are only with their VOIP calling over the internet. You can also use Hangouts with Google Voice but those mins (data) aren't ignored like the Freedompop included "200mins" or "unlimited" or whatever they claim are included. Back in 2018 a website ( https://bestmvno.com/freedompop/freedompop-launches-best-buy-exclusives/ ) claims that FP claims that MMS was included, but with recent surprise changes I've had on their CDMA plans (they are all gone, Sprint is done) I wouldn't be surprised if the MMS was an extra fee like it was when offered on CDMA. It's a good cheap plan if you get used to the data only limitations, and have WiFi around at home because 500MB or 1GB isn't much. Best to use the LTE/4g/HSPA in the car and try to hop on Wifi at every shop you visit.

QuestionI see that FreedomPop is changing its plan structure on its website. What is the future of current and new activations of this "legacy" plan?
Asked 4 years ago by Querious.
- Answer I just recently activated a FreedomPop SIM I had purchased at BestBuy. According to everything I have been told by FreedomPop representatives after activation you can then upgrade to the new SIM which allows you to use the phone's native calling and messaging apps instead of the FreedomPop app. Whichever plan was on the SIM you purchased will be transferred over to the new upgraded SIM. Technical support has actually improved since FreedomPop was bought by Red Pocket. There is now a chat option for technical support as well as voice call technical support.

QuestionIs this a real phone activation or does it require wifi to use
Asked 5 years ago by Nita.
- Answer It does not require WiFi. But the technology is VoIP. You must use the FreedomPop app for making and receiving calls, not your phones native app. But calls do not count toward your data limit.

QuestionI just wanted to confirm that there is no time frame within which I have to activate the FP plan, so I can just hang on to the FP SIM and not activate it until the plan with my current phone company ends, at which point the 12 month countdown begins?
Asked 6 years ago by giantmarmot.
- Answer Yes, usage doesn't start until you activate the sim. I bought this sim over a year ago $49.99, liked it and bought on sale for $39.99 before my usage was up. Unlimited time limit, who knows.

Questioncan I downgrade to free plan with this 19.00 card from best buy
Asked 5 years ago by joe.
- Answer No. You would need a different SIM Card to move to the Free Plan. I recommend the SIM Card For the 12 months with 1 GB per month Plan only. After 12 months it will renew at $60. For another 12 months. I figure that’s a bargain at $5.00 per month. I love mine. But it does require that a Credit Card is on file with them. That’s to cover them, if you exceed the 1 GB in a given month. But, in the past I have never exceeded the 1 GB in a month. Buy it, you will love it.

QuestionWill freedom pop work with a recently non active ttacfone
Asked 6 years ago by max.
- Answer Your Tracfone would first have to be unlocked (by Tracfone). Search "Tracfone unlocking policy" for more information about that. Freedompop recently sold their company to Ting and Red Pocket. As of today, June 18, 2019, it is unknown if the Freedompop annual plans will be honored. Red Pocket told me they might have answers tomorrow. I purchased a Freedompop annual plan 17 days ago. It has not been activated yet but I am stuck with it because of Best Buy's short return policy.

QuestionWhat happens after the year is up? Can you keep your number? Does this require an app or will it function normally using the standard phone icon? Att service? If you are a current FP user how do you switch?
Asked 6 years ago by AddyinAz.
- Answer Yes you can, and pay 49.99 for another year. It does require an app to call or message, but data can work without app. Data service is ATT.

QuestionCan you use this with a 4g smartwatch?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The FreedomPop service requires that you use their sim and app for voice and text. Most watches today are using esim, so no this service won't work. I don't think FreedomPop provided esim service. The only currently offered 4G smartwatch that I know of that will work are those running 'full Android'. These watches allow you to not only use the sim card provided but also you can download the FreedomPop app from the Play Store.

QuestionI have an existing FP 'Free' Line (200 Calls/Messages/250MB Data) with Visual Voicemail. Can you use one of these cards with an existing Freedompop line? Or do I need to port the existing FP line to a new FP line created with this card?
Asked 5 years ago by Gooniegoogoo.
- Answer I’ll tell you my experience on such an experience. I had the Freedompop service as you explained for 7 years on a Sprint iPhone. When FP sold my account to Ting, I was unhappy. Even more so, after a few months of Ting service. So, I purchased an iPhone 7 by AT&T. Then purchased the FP 12 months SIM Card from BestBuy. I activated the AT&T iPhone with the FP SIM Card. FP gave me a new cell number. I contacted FP to request they give me my old number for the new phone and new SIM Card. FP told me to request Ting to Port my number back to to FP. Of course FP charged me $20. To exchange the phone numbers back to my original number. (Note: looking back, I wish I had kept the new number that FP had issued to me. That number was very easy to remember. However, that’s water under the bridge.) I’ve had the new service for one year now. And I haven’t had the problems, that I experienced with the old Sprint iPhone service with FP and Ting. I switched both my phone service and my wife’s. We are very happy with the service and the price using AT&T iPhone with Freedompop service.. Hope this helps

Questionwhy freedom-pop is asking for credit card information when buying the prepay 49.99? people say because they will add extra charges, is that correct ?
Asked 5 years ago by roman82.
- Answer The credit card is used in case one goes over their allotted usage and auto renewal after your original period. Usage can be monitored via the My FP app to avoid usage. I have not been charged anything after supplying my credit card.

QuestionWill this service work for my ulcool mini phone
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer While not familiar with your specific phone, I can say that if you can download android apps this should probably work. To make/receive calls and texts, the FreedomPop app is required. That said, I have used the data on a tablet without the app. Just make sure the apn is correct. The above assumes your phone is compatible with the AT&T network.

QuestionPlanning to purchase for my used phone which will be dedicated for carplay/maps in my car. How reliable is this for using Maps on traffic with GPS on?
Asked 4 years ago by alpgk.
- Answer With Google maps, you can download the map data to use offline on your WiFi. Thus, you won't need to use mobile data unless you need real time road conditions. You can test how much mobile data is used by going on a short trip...like 15 minutes....and check the mobile data usage on your phone and separately on your account. The mobile data comes from AT&T. The real question is how good is your phone?
