A Side Dish of Free Data for your Cheap iPhone Plan

1.) I choose to read the article on $10.00 wireless plans because my family and I spend a ton of money on our cell phones. He takes the time to switch his cell phone to a plan through a unknown company called AirVoice Wireless. He also bought a device called a Freedom Pop which he hooks to his phone and it creates wireless hotspots pretty much anywhere. It cost $90.00 and you get 500 megabits of use per month.

2.) "When the expensive Airport Hilton tried to charge us $9.95 per night for internet access there, I simply powered up my middle finger, which I aimed at the Hilton logo before redirecting it affectionately to the FreedomPop’s power button – problem solved again." My husband and I have payed this fee time and time again. I never knew about any of this.

3.) Liked: I like the idea of the cheaper plan and the money it would save us.
Disliked: I don't really understand the terms and megabit usage. I would need to read up on that before I would switch. I tend to be forgetful so switching my phone to "cell data off" would worry me.

  1. I think this is a cool article. I feel like people including myself spend so much money on phones and data plans. It is often times easier to commit to any plan that sounds good rather than do research and see if there are any cheaper alternatives. I'm sure there are plans out there that would save me so much more money than what I am paying for today.

  2. I remember the Hyatt charging $15 a day for wifi when i needed it for my Deca competitions project. I ended up being able to modify what i needed on my phone, then emailing it to myself and paying several dollars to use the business center and print something off just because i was stuck and had to. it was a pain

  4. I hate that a lot of hotels charge as well but typically find some alternative. However, i did not know about this piece that does not have a monthly charge. I also find his cell plan interesting. However, i know 500MB would not nearly be enough for my normal phone usage alone.
