100% FREE WL INTERNET W/ FREEDOMPOP MIFI 500 4G LTE/3G

I had trouble getting it to connect and when it did, it used up the free data - 1 1/2 gbs immediately. I purchased additional data, but the device refused to connect. I returned it and deactivated my account.

The way Freedompop is advertised makes it look like a bargain. In reality, however. it's anything but. You start out wit 2gb of data on their "Premium" plan, which is apparently the most you can purchase up front (no, it's not free). Then, when you go over (which will be in no time flat), you will be charged 1.5 cents per mb. Yes, that's per MB and not GB, so that's going to pile up fast. I'm not a heavy data user, yet I've already used 33mb this month. At Freedompop's rates, that would be an additional $46.50 this month for me on top of the $24.99 that they charge you for the first 2 Mb, and I still have 3 days to go. Before you get silly and buy their service, I strongly suggest that you check your usage with your current provider and do the math. Remember the old saying "nothing in life is free"? That definitely applies here.
