FreedomPop Free Monthly plan back at Target

Don't know why you find it so difficult. Renewal is available after the end of the expiration date.
Other than getting the "blocked" message on one of my accounts the only annoyance has been the ads but those only take less than a minute. At least, that has been my experience.

Given that it apparently worked well enough under Bluestacks that the part where it goes to a webview didn't seem to be the same thing as "opening Chrome for some reason," I'm guessing either tightened-down privacy controls or a partial incompatibility of the app with some Android/webview version combinations.

My personal mild frustration with it is that there's a point in the process where I need to toggle back and forth with another app that's behind a fingerprint lock to do some copy and paste (well, that or type in things by hand that I don't wanna), and the renewal process resets fast enough that in order for that to work I basically have to use split-screen, and at least once now I have wrestled with it for two or three attempts before remembering that was the solution...

July 4th is only four weeks away:

Just a FYI, Today I was able to renew my FreedomPop GSMT 300, 1000,200 in the app without contacting CS. It said the line had expired but allowed me to re-activate it once I watched an add and re-linked my Privacy.com CC that has a zero balance.

Did you try the FP website before doing it via the app?

Yes I did. I couldn't get it to work on the website, but it did work on the app.

New FreedomPop issue when attempting to renew: Screenshot_20241116-054053

Is this error the free plan? There is also the 5.00 plan 500 500 500

Hopefully temporary glitch.

Assume you're using the app?

When I had issues at the begining of the change to app only renewal they were always pretty efficient about manually renewing for me but their CS hours are somewhat limited leaving no service for the better part of 24hrs.

Last renewal I did was 4 or 5 days ago, 300/1000/100 WM GSMT plan. Went fine. Was the first time I successfully renewed an hour or two before the line went dead.

Please post back re resolution.

I am using the app as I have done since that became a requirement. It is the free plan 100/100/100 GMSA.

Yeah, I purposely mentioned my successful renewal plan type to denote not exact data point vs. 100/100/100 GSMA although both plans have experienced similar glitches in the past, sometimes the timing or at least the reports of them, has differed.

Any resolution yet?

Just going to wait out the glitch a few day before contacting CS or ...?

I'm just waiting it out.

Yeah, I'm also in r/freedompop on Reddit.

That was mostly in reply to someone who said they were able to "renew online by changing plans from the free 100/100/100 plan I've had since February to the $3/mo "SafetyMode- 10 Minutes, 10 Messages, 25MB@High Speed" paid plan."

There was this earlier in the reddit thread, as I mentioned when I had issues renewing during the change away from website to app only renewals CS got it done reasonably quickly.

So there is an option if you have the time while their CS is available. Someone on HF mentioned the same successful manual renewal after answering a few questions I believe.

BuckshotLeFunk is me.....sblake5. I called them yesterday. It took about 5 minutes for them to manually renew.

Glad to hear that while inconvenient to have to get CS involved at least it was reasonably quick and painless.
