FreedomPop Expands Coverage Nationwide with Sprint's 3G Network

LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FreedomPop, America's new free Internet company, today announced its expansion to Sprint's 3G network guaranteeing full nationwide coverage across the US. The company is now accepting orders for its new 4G/3G hotspot device, called the FreedomPop Overdrive Pro. FreedomPop users will now be able to access the company's robust 4G network while having complete, nationwide backup access on 3G.

"The biggest criticism with our service to date has been the coverage gaps in certain parts of the country," said Stephen Stokols, FreedomPop's CEO. "Starting today, FreedomPop users can connect to the Internet across the entire nation leaving no reason to continue paying high monthly Internet bills for Internet from large, expensive carriers."

The FreedomPop Overdrive Pro becomes the company's first device to run on Sprint's network. The Overdrive Pro will allow up to five devices to connect to it and get speeds up to 8 mbps down. In addition to FreedomPop's free 500 MB plan, users can also purchase a 2 GB or 4 GB 4G/3G plan with no contract or annual commitment at rates up to 50 percent less than major carriers.

FreedomPop is also planning to launch a new suite of devices on Sprint's LTE network later this year in line with Sprint's nationwide build-out. LTE devices will also have the ability to roam on 3G where needed.

"We're planning on launching our full national LTE roll-out by the end of this year, but until then, adding nationwide 3G coverage gives users the ability to connect from anywhere," Stokols added.

To order the FreedomPop Overdrive Pro and free internet service, go to www.FreedomPop.com/OverdrivePro  while supplies last.
