“Upstart mobile carrier FreedomPop is announcing this week its first support for the iPhone, offering a variety of free and low-cost plans in conjunction with Apple phones that work on Sprint’s network,” Ina Fried reports. “”
“The company will offer ‘like-new’ refurbished iPhone 5 handsets directly for $349, while customers can also bring their own Sprint-compatible iPhone 4, 4s or iPhone 5,” Fried reports. “FreedomPop’s free plan comes with 200 voice minutes, 500 text messages and 500 megabytes of data per month. Other plans start at $5 per month.”
“‘This is going to be a big step for us,’ CEO Stephen Stokols said in an interview. Until now, FreedomPop’s phone service worked with only a handful of older Android models,” Fried reports. “The iPhone 5, Stokols said, has the benefit of having LTE, which he said offers the best performance for FreedomPop’s voice-over-IP service while being at least moderately affordable.”
