Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with FreedomPop Cell Phone Service?

No personal experience, but I just read that review:

I have it and will not be renewing. Lousy call quality using Sprint network. It uses data only so whenever you make a call you are using data. Send a text and you are using data. If all you did was text and internet it might be ok. I got the $80/yr unlimited everything plan. The price was right and if it was an emergency only phone then it migh be ok too. As long as you are not talking on it all the time. Echo, reverb and delay makes it difficult to talk with people.

Run Forest Run,
It is a borderline scam. Luckily I got all my money back. Had to get the US Bank involved to get my money back.
The phone was horrible, the service even worse. Never saw more than 2 bars of signal strength out of 4. I live 4 miles from a Sprint 4G tower.
All I was looking for was an emergency phone. After that disaster I went with Tracfone for a emergency phone and for travel. It works great and is $6 a month if I do auto renew every ninty days. After 60 days I have 110 of my 180 minutes left.

I just got this smartphone from HSN and I love it. The phone itself is $80... plus you get 400 minutes of talk time...400 text...400 GB data tripled for life. Which is 1200 everything for $99. A $380.00 value. Works out to $9 a month. And is on the Verizon network.

I tried them a while back for an emergency phone for my 12 yr old daughter. Waste of money. If I had wifi, calls were barely acceptable, lots of echo and severe delay. If using cellular (VOIP) it was at best poor, many times though it was unusable.
Texts were delayed by up to 12 hours at times.
The phone is now sitting in a drawer somewhere in my daughters room.
I ended up getting her a t-mobil PAYG plan. $3/month for 30 minutes talk and/or 30 texts. No data at all. Works as a great emergence phone, and she can use wifi at home and school, and most anywhere else she is.
