Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Come back when you have an unlimited data plan for $50 a month.

Tried this
I tried Freedompop for my son a few months ago, they had a plan where it was supposed to find Wifi access points and auto-log on for cheap calls for people without cell plans. I didn't get a few hours into trying multiple supported locations before giving up. They did refund my money. Their support pages were half-written, forums a mess, FAQ's a mess. Just seemed very unprepared for what they promised.

BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.
Freedompop is the crappiest phone service I have ever used. People laugh at how miserable it is for calls... For god's sake DO NOT depend on it for texts!

Running a string through your urethra and attaching it to dixie cups is more pleasant and reliable than using Freedompop.

Could anyone point me to some of the other alternatives specifically in the Boston area?

OMG. I looked into this and Freedompop's main freedom seems to be scrapping in cash, providing horrible "data service" and worse "customer service".
This company is a nightmare.
WTF, Techdirt?

I took the Nexus 5 deal
I took a very similar deal for a Nexus 5 for $200 with a year's worth of their service. I figured that if it was crap, I'd port the phone to Cricket who'd take it without blinking.

The phone's been live since Wednesday even though my account was active at the start of LAST MONTH. It took them 3 f-ing weeks to get me my phone. And they won't adjust my account.

I tried to port my # to them but decided on Google Voice in case I switch providers. That's worked so far. But the problems of people calling me from my driveway and it going to Voicemail still persists. That's because Virgin Mobile and Freedom Pop use Sprint's network.

But I like my Nexus 5. HTC phones, meh.
