FreedomPop brings free mobile service to the masses
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
In honor of its first anniversary, hybrid carrier FreedomPop is offering free mobile phone service for life. Every month, 500MB of data, 500 text messages and 200 minutes of calls will be available at no charge. Customers can upgrade to unlimited voice and unlimited texting for $10.99 a month which is a savings of 80% to 90% from other name brand carriers, saving consumers as much as $1000 a year.
The service will be available on FreedomPop's HTC Evo Design smartphone, which will be available for $99. That already is a 65% discount. Freedom Pop says that it will offer customers more choices later this year with a selection of popular Android models. Stephen Stokols, FreedomPop's CEO and co-founder, said that a consumer paying $1500 a year for a mobile service can save up to $1000 a year for the same plan with his service.

"The historically staid mobile operator industry is not only ripe for disruption; it is being disrupted today by creative pricing and service delivery strategies. Combining more economical voice over IP-over-cellular technology with emerging freemium business models such as these provides choice for customers looking for mobile service alternatives while pressuring incumbent carriers to respond as well."-Rich Karpinski, senior analyst, Yankee Group.
