How FreeUP Mobile Plans Work
FreeUP Mobile soft launched in the early part of 2018. It was founded by Rod Nakjavani who is no stranger to the MVNO industry. In 2009 he co-founded Simple Mobile, a brand that he and his team enjoyed quick success with. In less than 3 years time, the Simple Mobile brand grew to approximately 1.6 million subscribers before being purchased in May of 2012 by América Móvil.
FreeUP Mobile offers service using the AT&T network. The company hoped to be able to provide free cellular service to its customers through the use of a special rewards program. However, that rewards program got discontinued in September 2019. The company now primarily operates using the model pioneered by Mint Mobile. Customers are offered generous discounts on their plans when they prepay for service in bulk for up to one year’s time.

I’ve been w/FreeUP mobile about 6 years & I LOVE them! They notified me that my old iPhone would eventually stop working, as 3G is OUTDATED. Just today I had to switch from iPhone 4s to my new Moto G Power. There were some minor glitches because I’m not very tech savvy, but I emailed Tech Support & all issues resolved in less than 30 minutes. I’m a very basic user on my phone. I make calls & text. I’ve never gamed or made many searches on my phone, so their most basic plan was perfect for me, which has saved me $45 a month for all these years. Here’s the math: $45 × 12=$540.00 ×6 years=$3,240.00! Who DOESN’T love THAT!!
Will this sim & network work with a Lenovo Tablet
??
Free up just stopped us from making calls in or out from the iPhone.
We have been and are on autopay for a long time. There isn’t any way to contact them except by message and they may not get back to you for a full business day!
Will move on to another provider if they don’t resolve this quickly.
No record at our credit card that they tried and failed to get the payment.
I noticed in your new plans$15 for 0 talk 0 text 2 GB of data… Does that replace the $20 unlimited plan and what is the $25 plan if the $20 unlimited plan is still available what actually available?
I have your starter plan currently, but it’s turned off, but left active because I’m unable to use your Rewards program in Biloxi Mississippi I only shop at Walmart and no stores/ restaurants down here used your service. Waiting until I can use your rewards program. also I assume you’ll fix all this when I come back how do I change my number do I get to choose the number?
