Freedompop back to its old tricks

[PEW]

So for one acct, logged in using the FP app to be able to make calls. Immediately, without notice, it signs the user up for a trial International 300 min for 'free' that would renew on next cycle (next week for me) at $4.99 a month. I clicked it back to Intl 100 'actual free' plan. Will need to keep an eye on each account.

Looks like Red Pocket is keeping the 'promise' of same old Freedompop.

.... and that is very disappointing. Not what we were hoping from a more transparent operator.

To be fair they probably have not had time to streamline processes and fix any bad habits from the old days. It is going to take some time before we see the "new" freedompop.
