FreedomPop Offers Global Hotspots To Extend Free Service

 

FreedomPop has already managed to make a major mark in the US and UK markets by offering its users free data and calling, but now it hope to really make a splash in international markets. It should be an easier goal given the fact that it just raised a lot more cash in a short period of time according to PC Mag.

Additionally, the company announced the creation of a new global hotspot this past Wednesday. The new hotspot allows users to get a data connection that is seamless as it pulls off of cellular networks from all over the globe.

In order to use the international hotspot, users need to buy the device and the SIM card. Those who live in the UK or USA can pick up the global hotspot and then use it 25 countries across the world from the Netherlands to the UK to Poland to Romania to Finland and more. By the end of the year FreedomPop plans to expand the list to over 40 countries including a few locations in Latin America and Asia.

The global hotspot can be purchased for $49.99 and then it costs an additional ten dollars for the global SIM card that will allow it to be used with your phone. Even better, the SIM can be remotely updated as new countries are added to their coverage list so users can buy it now and automatically enjoy additional data in new locations later.

Like all of its plans, users of the global hotspot get a free 200MB of data per month in any of the countries on the list. For more information on the service and their fund raising efforts check out the original article here.

FreedomPop’s Big Plan

Founded in 2011 out of Los Angeles, Freedompop is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). Their goal is to offer and give away free talk, messaging and data to those who go over their limits. As reported on Venturebeat, Freedompop offers SIM cards with free mobile service plans. Their next step will be to offer the WhatsApp for free. This will allow users to message free, regardless of their data allowance. The prototype for this plan will take place in Spain, the location of where this new service will be launched in the next few months.

FreedomPop has operated in the U.S with its first international launch in the U.K. last September. Spain will be the third market for the company which has big plans to make an impact world-wide.

Other mobile networks have offered zero-rated access to WhatsApp along with their services but have been met with controversy.

Capitalizing on the unique idea of offering services for free, FreedomPop is extending free roaming in 31 countries. Initially, the offer will only be available to those in the U.S., U.K., but FreedomPop will be expanding the offer to Spain. The company states it will be setting its sights on global expansion by the end of the year. It has not formed a partnership with either Facebook or WhatsApp. The company realizes that partnering with the current market of mobile carriers and utilizing unique models with zero-rated access to apps such as WhatApp, is the best way to expand their company.
