Freewheel's WiFi-Only Smartphone Plan Available Nationwide for $9.95/Month
Freewheel - a company that plans to turn your phone into a Wi-Fi calling monster - has launched nationwide plans. Starting with $9.95/month plan you say "goodbye data limits."
Basically, Freewheel is offering its users a carrier-like service without an actual network carrier. Instead, the Freewheel service is entirely dependent on WiFi hotspots dotted around your area, explains AH.
If you're an existing Cablevision customer, you will be charged $9.95 per month and if you're a new customer, you will have to dole out $29.95 each month for the WiFi calling plan.
As of now, the service only works with a Moto G, which needs to by bought via Freewheel for $99.95.
"Cellular was built for voice and WiFi was built for data, which is why WiFi is the preferred choice for data usage today. Freewheel integrates a high quality device backed by the strength of our professionally maintained carrier-grade WiFi network. As the thirst for data continues to grow, Freewheel provides consumers with a better, faster data experience, all at a fraction of the cost of cellular," said Kristin Dolan, chief operating officer of Cablevision.
If your worry is how good the Wi-Fi coverage is in your area, you can try their 30-day money back guarantee offer as well.
