FreedomPop, a Sprint MVNO, is the first mobile service company in the US to offer a zero rated WhatsApp Service. Together, FreedomPop and WhatsApp will provide data, texts, and calls to consumers for free through WhatsApp. This premier zero rated plan is not only available in the US, but also in 30 other countries worldwide.
To make it more appealing, FreedomPop is adding on a complimentary 200 MBs of data, 100 texts, and 100 minutes per month. The goal is simply to allow people to stay in touch without being charged a fortune in roaming costs.
All in all, the free basic plan includes:
- 200 MB High Speed Data
- 100 minutes
- 100 texts
- Unlimited WhatsApp use
- Roaming in 30+ countries
“There really is no reason anyone should have to pay for voice and text in today’s environment. Over-the-top communication services like WhatsApp have eliminated the need for traditional voice and text services that carriers still force U.S. users to pay hundreds of dollars a year for,” said Chris Chen, SVP at FreedomPop.
However, if you need more than the basic free plan, FreedomPop is still offering low-cost plans. The company is also introducing a new WhatsApp Plan that runs at $29.99 per month. The features for this plan include:
- 2 GB High Speed Data
- Unlimited minutes and messages
- Unlimited WhatsApp use
- Roaming in 30+ countries
To use either of these plans, you just need to get a FreedomPop SIM for your Android or iOS phone. With your FreedomPop SIM, you’re free to explore in WhatsApp all month long for free. And, since this is available in many more countries, you can travel abroad with your phone with no extra fees.
FreedomPop is a Sprint MVNO that was founded in 2012. It offers a variety of plan options ranging from free to $29.99 per month. Annual plans are also available. You can check out phone prices and additional services on the FreedomPop website.]]>
