FreedomPop's Move to Native Service Means Phones Not Running Android or iOS Can Now Be Used

Show all headers | View raw

Since the FreedomPop app is gone, and native support is now being used 
(yay!), you can now use the FreedomPop SIM card in any unlocked phone 
that supports VoLTE, even a flip phone that isn't running Android or 
iOS. Actually even a 3G GSM phone should work for now since AT&T hasn't 
yet shut down 3G.

My old $10 (thanks Fry's!) ZTE Z-320, which is what I had a T-Mobile SIM 
card with the $10/year "Gold Rewards" plan, can now be used on 
FreedomPop and data is available (though it's painful to web browse on a 
little flip phone). This phone supports LTE bands 2, 4, & 12 and VoLTE.

When I had this phone on T-Mobile it was pretty worthless to me since 
T-Mobile coverage in my area (San Francisco Bay Area) is not very good, 
plus no data was available on that old T-Mobile plan. Now that old phone 
  would be more useful as a phone to throw into a backpack or bike bag, 
and since I ported my primary number to Google Voice I can forward calls 
to any phone number I want.
