FreedomPop Launches “Free” Global Data Hotspot And SIM - and Competition?

[bukzin]

Has anyone tried using their MiFi 2 unit without the FP SIM?

Is the box FP supplies unlocked? I would like to buy a local SIM card
with data and use it without the FP Global SIM

(the unit I purchased is the Novatel #5792 with Ver. 1.1 software)


I am US based and would use it in Europe and Vietnam, Mexico etc



Any thoughts on this?

Check the device specification for frequency bands

I don't think it has 900 MHz 3g, which is common in some European countries, and no 4g here either.

That's why I didn't buy one, pointed this out to them, and asked them more than once to sell just the SIM.
