Free mobile voice, text and data plans coming to UK ( Freedompop )

Kernel_Sanders

I managed to secure this deal, and a few days into it (today, in fact) I got an email offering me a second line for another trial price of a penny, with the same minutes and texts plus (and it's ambiguous as you can see) another 2250MB of data. Or maybe it's just an extra 1GB. Or is the 1GB extra to the extra 2250MB? Whichever it is, it's very odd they should offer a second trial just after I've started the first!

I signed up for that. My first month is coming to an end soon. I'll downgrade it to their free 200/200/200 offering soon.

Half-way through my trial and I've received the 'friendly reminder email', but it says

As a reminder, your trial premium plan will automatically renew at the given monthly rate at the end of your 30-day trial period. You can continue enjoying your premium plan through the remainder of your subscription period, upgrade to a higher plan or downgrade your plan anytime in your online account. If you downgrade your plan prior to the end of your period, all additional data, voice minutes, texts and value added services will no longer be available for your account. We hope you continue to enjoy your trial membership, and look forward to serving you further.

So if you downgrade, do they mean just for the rest of the trial period?

Oh, obvious, is it? So you're saying you can't continue with the free 200MB etc pm on a SIM for which you have this trial.

mobilejunkie

That's obvious too. It's what you're downgrading to.

If you downgrade you get the basic 200 of each per month but nothing more. I managed to use quite a bit of my allowance in the first month and then downgraded. Make sure you downgrade the whole lot , as the offers are sort of loaded one upon the other.

Do you mean to come across as condescending?

I mean what I write - not the opposite.
