FreedomPop has announced unlimited WhatsApp usage for free

New Delhi, Aug 18: FreedomPop has announced zero-rated WhatsApp SIM in the US and 30 other countries giving them unlimited WhatsApp usage for free.

FreedomPop, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) has announced zero-rated WhatsApp SIM in the US. This will give users access to free unlimited WhatsApp usage plus 200MB additional data and 100 voice minutes monthly.

The FreedomPop SIM is compatible with Android and iOS devices.

“There really is no reason anyone should have to pay for voice and text in today’s environment. Over-the-top communication services like WhatsApp have eliminated the need for traditional voice and text services that carriers still force U.S. users to pay hundreds of dollars a year for,” said Chris Chen, FreedomPop’s SVP Product. According to Chen, FreedomPop plans are more popular in developing countries. There are similar providers like T-Mobile’s BingeOn and Nextel Brazil offering free WhatsApp usage.

FreedomPop’s zero-rate WhatsApp SIM service makes it easier for users to communicate while they are abroad, without additional roaming charges. The FreedomPop SIM is compatible with Android and iOS devices. The service is live in the US, UK, Germany, France, Portugal and Italy, and others. FreedomPop launched its zero-rated WhatsApp plan in Spain last month.
