I'm thinking O2 might be the other network? Vodafone doesn't seen to have many MVNOs these days.

I would check their privacy policy if you're thinking of signing up. You're basically giving them carte blanche to pass on your details to any third parties.

Interesting. Will they be also selling on the content of text messages, phone calls and internet data?

Or EE... good for the 2G fallback in particular.

Anyway they don't (yet) have access to a second network.

I can't get too excited about 'free' operators for many reasons.

It's a pity it only works with Android and iOS. I ususally like my second phone to be Windows and FreedomPop is ideal as a second sim.

Anyone else get an email about "Premium Voice"?

“As a FreedomPop launch special, we are offering Premium Voice service free for the first month, which will ensure you receive the best possible voice quality when your data connection is limited.”

You have to pay for decent voice quality?

No thanks.

Could they mean HD Voice perhaps?

I had a play around with this yesterday and had the same results as you but I got it to work after scratching my head by simply putting a blank in-between the two parts of your postcode i.e. AB12 3CD and not AB123CD.

Yeah thanks for that i did put 3 different email addresses in before i tried the space on the post code.
Still a pain because nearly everything you sign up for you just use it altogether or its spaced automatic by the website.

My SIM hasn't turned up despite ordering about 5 days ago. I know they say 5-7 days but RM is always 1-2 days in my experience.

If this is anything to go by, I'd be more surprised if the other network wasn't O2.

It depends who they're using for their post (is it RM?) - RM is very strange here; 2nd class usually turns up like clockwork 2 days after posting, while 1st class can take anything up to 10 days.

My sim arrived today, sent by Royal Mail, they very nicely upped my data to 300MB a month. The system works better in an Android phone as you can choose notifications but can't on iOS yet.

I can call out from both phones (and receive incoming calls on both) if logged in to the apps on both phones.

I notice it only supports iOS and Android.

Vodafone have 7 versus O2 with 5. EE have 16 and 3 4. Those numbers exclude the roamers.

I assume there's no hard cap and you just start to get charged per MB?

I've got my card and haven't put it in a phone yet. Bet a lot of people got their 'free' SIM so that's a few quid for the company. Now let's see how long the company lasts...!

You have the choice, if auto top up is on you will be charged per MB (1.5p from what I remember), if you turn off auto top up it is a hard cap.

Is that in the account settings so I can change that myself?
