I'm happy to see flash go and wish it had gone 5 or 10 years ago. But the discontinuation of the product doesn't mean all the flash support in the field will suddenly stop working. It's more a question of when the browsers stop allowing it to run, which they're already largely doing by default. But one could run old browsers with old flash plugins more or less indefinitely. I bugged 8x8 years ago about their flash interface. They're only now beginning to migrate off of it.

The $5 per month plan is probably not a money loser considering how little they pay for bulk data. I think that Redpocket probably just considered buying FreedomPop a good investment because they have the opportunity to upsell Red Pocket plans to both the free tier of Freedom Pop customers, as well as to those on the 1GB plan. 1GB isn't much data these days, where the average user is at over 4GB of cellular data and around 13GB of Wi-Fi data. The cellular data numbers are being skewed by the fact that many users simply no longer bother to worry about using Wi-Fi instead of cellular data. I have 60GB high-speed of data to share with three lines and rarely use more than 1/4th of that so I don't obsess about using Wi-Fi anymore. Also, the LTE data tends to be faster than the Wi-Fi data, as wall as more secure. The amount RedPocket paid for FreedomPop was undisclosed but it probably wasn't much.

I guess technically one could use a current iPhone with data plan as a
hotspot for repurposed iPhone if need arose.

It's a nuisance to add the news server name to each newsgroup when
cross-posting (a Thunderbird demand) so I'm just deleting alt.cellular
and misc.phone.mobile.iphone. I wish whoever decides to x-post to those
other groups would just STOP.

It would be nice to have data, but I rarely find it actually necessary.

Just found the Freedompop SIM, but haven't put it back in a phone yet.
I might consider getting another one for MY phone, but just thinking
about having to jump through the required hoops is exhausting.
Latest: They give you the free upgrade for the first month, but if you
don't cancel within 14 days OF PLACING YOUR ORDER they automatically
charge you $35 the next month. Since the time between placing the order
and receiving the SIM is entirely within their control, this makes me a
little uneasy... I'd be willing to bet that you can't cancel before you
receive the SIM because the system needs to know the IMEI (or whatever)
number of the SIM.
Of course I'd get one of the temporary credit cards (you have to give
them a credit card) with a $10 max, but I did that before and it's still
a nuisance.

Contacted FP's chat. It turns out that they canceled this old SIM when
LTE arrived. Don't ask. They canceled the Franklin hotspot when they
sold part of the company to others. So 'forever' just means 'until we
change our minds'. The chat-guy said that apparently the service was
forever, but the SIM had expired.
I told him "I'm sorry, we don't support your tires any more, you're
going to have to buy a new car..."
I think he was kind of embarrassed to have to say that. Still, $5 or $6
for several years isn't really that bad a deal...
I really wish there were virtual credit cards, though..

While I too have a free-for-life T-Mobile 200MB/month data plan on some of my iPads (which turns the iPad into a free US calls POTS-capable incoming/outgoing speakerphone for example)... And while I agree that data is inexpensive anyway, in many cases, at least in the US, we do have to realize Carlos is in, oh, as I recall, one of the Iberian Peninsula countries (AFAICR). However, even with zero data, there are very few things someone who is intelligent can't do (I have a few threads on that topic alone, in the Android ng). For example: o What decent free offline no-login privacy-enabled road map apps exist for Android users to enjoy? <https://groups.google.com/topic/comp.mobile.android/YadPNimUcu8> o How to Send and Receive Text Messages Without a Phone Plan or SIM Card <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/RVGqku3UtRg> o Offline speech-to-text recorder/transcription unofficial Google Recorder APK port now available for many Android phones <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/_Amn35T16NA> There are still "some" things which are easier with data than without: o Is there a non Google freeware traffic app https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/Ve_2cgliiGk> o Let's document the best known current free REPLACEMENTS for Google "mail" account - so all benefit from our efforts <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/YUdwh4QgoRQ> But not many... o And certainly those few functionalities work fine when you're on Wi-Fi. -- People who can't comprehend facts are doomed to be ruled by MARKETING.

Well, I pointed out that I agreed with the *generic* statement that a
smartphone without a dataplan is useless, with a big smile. You can
demonstrate exceptions, and so can I; I have an active smartphone
without a dataplan. But instead of having a conversation as everybody
else here and having a good time, he resorts to insulting me because I
do not agree with him.

Play your worthless silly childish games Carlos... o This is what transpired (verbatim): > I had to ask that VP if she ever graduated from high school, since a > smartphone is just fine on WiFi or off the net, but she _insisted_ that a > smartphone is worthless without a data plan. Carlos: She is right :-P The point is that a smartphone without a data plan, for an _intelligent_ person, is perfectly functional. Just like a smart phone without a cloud account is perfectly functional. It's my opinion that the dumber people are, the more they need crutches: a. Data plan b. Cloud storage There's a _reason_ MARKETING pushes this stuff to the ignorati, Carlos: o Do people of reasonable technical ability store their private data on the Internet (if so, for what gain?) <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/E0TkTd-zLuk> Only the ignorati would claim that a smartphone is useless without a cellular connection to the Internet - and they did - she and you both. -- The less intelligent the person, the more they require the cloud.

Notice Steve filters out all facts about Apple he simply doesn't like. o It's why we've proved, many times, sms is ignorant of basic facts. For one example, Steve _still_ believes Apple now pays less per iPhone than before the Qualcomm surrender; which is simply patently false. The fact apologists filter out facts is why they're always so ignorant. -- The real problem with Apple newsgroups is that the apologists exist.

Or any followups to his posts? Thunderbird can do that easily. Create filter: match any [From] [is] [arlen...] [From] [is] [arlen2...] [From] [is] [arlen3...] [From] [is] [arlen4...] Perform these actions Ignore Subthread. ;-) I'm tempted, but sometimes he brings up interesting issues, but with a ton of verbiage and insults if you dare to not agree with him, which I forget and fall again in the trap. -- Cheers, Carlos.

Who has posted more tutorials to this newsgroup than anyone, Carlos? 2. Who has documented more tests of freeware to this ng, than anyone? 3. Who _always_ provides facts (well cited, often verbatim) to this ng? What you don't like, Carlos, IMHO, is when you play your silly games in threads I author, that I call you out by pointing to EXACTLY what you write. If you didn't play your silly games, I wouldn't call you out for them. -- There are only two kinds of people on Usenet, and Carlos is one of them.

Someone mentioned that with the combined coverage of Sprint/T-Mobile, coverage ius much better. Have normal people seen a difference already from the merger? Have they just enabled T-Mobile custoemrs to roam on Sprint and vice versa? Or have they already "relabeled" all the SPrint towers to serve the T-Mobile MNO so T-Mobile customers are at "home" on those towers, and Sprint customers always roaming on T-Mobile already? (You can program OTA SIM cards to consider X network to be considered a "home" network even though the SIM card is attached to Y, which is how MVNOs work. on iPhone, Apple even allows carriers to rename other networks. Fo instance, in Canada, the Fido SIM cards consider the Rogers network to be "Fido" (Rogers shut down the Fido network when it bought it and moved all Fido customers to RogerKs network), and Fido renamed Bell and Telus's network to "Fido EXT" when roaming on bell or Telus. This also affect the manual network selection. So I am curious how T-Mobile is doing the integration.
