Another network backed onto 3. That includes iDMobile and this now. A quick google shows that Shebang (?) is also 3 based, but EE by far has the most. Is this a new market for 3 after acquiring the extra network space? It knows it'll have capacity later on down the road?
"In the UK FreedomPop will be using data carried by the Three network." - I really do hope Three are adding additional capacity with all these new MVNOs jumping on board...
Am I reading this right ?¿
FreedomPop will provide a data only SIM card that comes bundled with a Skype like app to make/receive voip calls and text messages ?¿
Hmmm.
This lot have what a casual perusal suggests is, IMHO, at least one of the worst, if not the worst, privacy policy I've ever seen. Basically, they go after ever item of personal information they can get, directly or indirectly, and share it with whomever they feel like, world-wide.
I wouldn't touch this under any circumstances.
Yeah from what I've seen they seem to gather more data than google lol
Also for me three is a no go, can't get a decent signal where I live.
Have you got a link/direct passage to that? I just went from pretty interested to very wary!Quote:

Not to hand. But if you go to their website, there's a link at the bottom of the page.Quote:

It'll be no shock to many that I'm more .... sensitive .... to that sort of, well, abuse of privacy, than many but that policy amounts to giving them carte blanche to do what they want with your data. Personally, no way in hell would I agree to that, even if they offered me free and unlimited voice and data until the Sun explodes. YMMV.
PS. Sorry, DDY, just noticed you gave the link. Thanks.
It's to be expected for a free service of this sort I guess. But I'm with you on this - no way I'm signing up!Quote:

Its a shame as this looks just the sort of deal I'm looking for (with a data boost) however I don't like the idea of having no actual phone minutes so I'm going to pass for now.Quote:
