FreedomPop, promiser of free data, is finally launching the first actually free service plan into beta today. It comes with free texts, free minutes, and free data. All you have to do is front $100 for a phone.

 

As for the plan itself, a few things have changed. Users will get 200 free anytime minutes, 500MB of free 3G/4G data, and 500 free texts (as opposed to unlimited, like originally pitched) every month, for free. Free free free. And if that doesn't do it for you, you can get extra data at the price of $.02/MB as you go, or you can pick up packs of 1GB for $10, 2GB for $20, 4GB for $35, or 5GB for $40. And for voice and text, you can go unlimited for $11 a month.

 

(This is the phone you need to buy: HTC EVO Design 4G. Runs Android 4.0, not the best specs, but hey, it's $100 for a decent phone and free talk, text, and data! Specs here: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-EVO-Design-4G_id5465)

 

This is very exciting indeed! Hopefully this will get people to FINALLY switch over to a smart phone. Oh, and this is great for people with low incomes, obviously. I can only see good things about this.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

Very cool. I wouldn't mind it if I didn't use so much data

Would get this phone and sell it and put the sim card on my own phone.

Clearly a good deal, but I'm fine with my not-free plan that includes really nice speed, coverage, and hardware/

T-mobile ha unlimited free, it just slows down some.  What's the hype about?

This plan is 100% free, you just have to pay $100 for the phone. The plan gives you 200 talk minutes, 500 texts, and 500MB of 3G/4G data, all for free. If you want more talk, text, or data, you would have to pay, but even then it's super cheap.
