Fees are automatically charged to your account at $0.02 per MB after you hit 500 MB. FreedomPop offers a number of internet access plans that make use of a mobile hotspot to connect to their cellular data network. Plans range from free to around $75.00 per month.

All of the plans make use of FreedomPop's 4G/LTE network and have various monthly data caps associated with them. FreedomPop Basic 500 works well for those who just need to check their email or do a bit of basic web browsing. If you&#39;re going to routinely go over the 500 MB limit, one of FreedomPop&#39;s alternate plans, such as the 2 GB plan for $19.99, may be a better fit for your needs.

Since the data network is supplied by Sprint, there&#39;s a good chance you can make a connection wherever you are. FreedomPop comes with a free month of the 2 GB data plan, so be sure to change your data plan to the Basic 500 at the end of the first month if you want to keep free internet access.

Requires a residential internet plan. If you already have an internet service provider at home, it likely offers access to company-owned or affiliated Wi-Fi hotspots around the country. These types of Wi-Fi hotspots service businesses, public locations, and even entire communities.

Using one of these hotspots is best for those traveling for work or pleasure. The free access is a much better deal than what some hotels charge, and the connection speed is usually much higher, so you can stream music and movies, play games, browse the web, or check your email without interruption.
