Coverage
Sounds like FreedomPop might be a little on the sleazy side.

Re: Coverage
That doesn’t sound so bad, really. At worst, they’re no shadier than the major cellphone providers (a low bar, I admit). But the article that you link to is 2 years old, and the update indicates that FreedomPop was altering their policies to be more customer-friendly. It might be a lot better now.
Re: Re: Coverage
I hope so. Their coverage gives me serious pause anyway. I don’t often go places that Verizon has coverage and they don’t but still… I would like to hear good things about them so if anyone has other sources let us know!
