Anyone used the FreedomPop mobile network yet?
Mod/Admin note: this isn't spam or an advert for FP, I genuinely think it is a great service that I'd like to share with you (although I have included my referral link at the bottom so if you want to delete it or move it somewhere green I don't mind)
They offer 200 minutes, 200 text and 200 mb of mobile data 100% free for life with chances to earn more data completing offers or referring friends and you can pay for added services like more minutes/text/data, international calls, a local number from another country (a mobile number for France or Spain for friends and family to contact you on at local rates) and other bells and whistles.
They work by piggybacking on the Three UK network and give you an app to route all calls and texts over their own VOIP/VoLTE servers so you only ever use mobile data, meaning they only every need to buy wholesale data from Three which in turn means they can keep costs down and offer their free service (and the calls and texts using the app don't count towards your data use so don't eat away at the free data).
The FreedomPop app is in the Apple and Google stores and can be installed on a few phones and tablets at once (they all share the same number and minutes but you can order more SIMs for more numbers)
I've been using it for a few months now on my iPhone with my Giffgaff SIM card and as soon as they offer number porting in I'm going to ditch Giffgaff all together, I used it on the free WIFI networks when visiting friends in Morocco last month and it was crystal clear when I called her indoors (back home in England), I've even left my friend with the app on his phone over there so he can call the UK for free when he has mobile data or WIFI by registering one of the other SIMs I had to his phone.
This would be good for friends and family who live in Euroland who need to call England on a regular basis or even for expats who want/need a UK mobile number without the roaming charges (apparently they're starting to roll out free worldwide data roaming so you can use the 200 mb of free data when roaming too)
If any of our expat members need a UK address to get SIMs delivered to, let me know and you can use my address for sign up and I'll forward the SIM(s) onto you (you need the SIM to link the app I believe but don't need it in the phone to use the app after first setup)
