FreedomPop in Spain was a free service until recently. It was completely unusable. They were selling Three (UK) cards that worked here in roaming. The internet service simply didn't work. They were assigning telephone numbers they borrowed from another company. That company didn't have a licence to lend their assigned numbers, that was illegal, so they had to stop providing their services and I suppose they'll get fined, big time. Now they stopped giving that free service, and you have to pay. I don't think many people will pay anything. It's a scam. |

The advantage is that the new cards are pretty much plain Masmovil simcards, so calls and SMS go over GSM directly and 4G works at decent speed over the Orange network.
But if you look at the whiteboard behind the CEO on the picture on the article, they were intelligent enough to leave written on it things about their roadmap like "Blocking SMS" or "Masmovil = ?appnet? calls + SMS" which leads to think that they will migrate both to their app in the future.
At least they also have "holiday" written on the whiteboard, so probably they also thought about how bad of an idea is to do all of this on summer holidays.
