Although this sounds like a very good deal, I want to point out that the
Freedompop web site is worse than a bad joke for persons using screen
readers.

Just to follow up, I saw this mentioned on Lifehacker earlier in the
week as well. It was noted that Freedom Pop has been known for somewhat
shady practices in the past, but is still considered one of the better
deal data providers out there. Folks can go over to Lifehacker to read
the post and go through the various comments to get a better feel too.

*Subject:* Freedom Pop offers $349 iPhone 5 on free plan
Hello all of those in the United States,
I was just listening to the newest Today in iOS Podcast and thought I
post a quick note about this. Rob did an interview in this episode with
the Chief Operations Manager of FreedomPop, an MVNO which works on the
Sprint network. FreedomPop is now offering a free plan which includes
200 voice minutes, 500 text messages and 500 Mb of data per month if you
buy an iPhone 5 from them for $349. This is the original iPhone 5 which
they procure and refurbish or, if you have an iPhone 4 or 5 on the
Sprint network you can bring that over to them.
They also offer unlimited voice and text and 500 Mb of data for $10.99
and you can bring that down to I think around $7 if you prepay for a year.
I believe their charge for going over the 500 Mb of data is at 2.5 Cents
per Megabyte, so $2.50 for 100 Mb. If you were to use 1 Gb of data you
would pay $10 extra.
They also offer very inexpensive WiFi devices, $30 gets you a device
which you can also sign up on a 500 Mb per month free plan.
There is more they offer and you can check it out on their website,
www.FreedomPop.com <http://www.FreedomPop.com> and I would encourage
everybody who is interested in iOS and the iPhone to sign up for the
Today in iOS Podcast. You can listen to it using your favourite Podcast
app such as Downcast, iCatcher or the Apple Podcast app, you can also
listen to it on the free Stitcher Radio app and I believe on Agogo as
well. Lastly, there is also the Today in iOS app which is $2.99 and
which is accessible, it also sends you notifications if there are any
breaking Apple news which Rob considers important. Once again, the
interview is in the most recent episode which was just released, episode
305 and the interview starts about 13% into the Podcast or at about 10
minutes and 50 seconds.
Regards,
Sieghard
