I was reading a comparison of pre-paid cell phone plans, and came across mention of FreedomPop.
Their website says "100% free" all over the place, which made me extremely dubious. They don't actually show you the plans until you enter your zip code and an email address, so I did so to see if it was really true.
They offer a free limited monthly plan, as well as low-cost unlimited plans.
Voicemail is optional and costs $2.49 extra. You have to buy one of their phones (or maybe not?), and their coverage area isn't very good. But still, 200 minutes/500 texts/500 MB per month for basically free once you pay for the phone. Or $19.99/month for unlimited. I wonder if there are any other extra fees besides the voice mail.
