For the 500MB plan is says additional data is .02&cent;. Will this be charged if I disable the auto top up feature?

You will still be charged even if you disable the auto top up. I disabled it on mine, and i still got charged and INSANE amount of money, when I was hardly online at all. I would recommend that you don't buy this, but if you do choose to, make sure you completely turn off the device when you are not using it.

When setting it up with Verizon a data package is required, but only costs $10 extra a month on top of your regular bill. I have not tried calling Verizon and asking them if there is an option to remove it, but when activating it online I had no choice.

500MB with $45.00 monthly plan. Additional data is extra. $20.00 for 3 GB or less.

There is a monthly fee if you choose to get more than 500Mb per month and just check out the website freedompop.comhttp://www.freedompop.com/faq_answer.htm?articleId=24118322

I have a $25/month plan that provides unlimited texting and 250 minutes, but no data. You can purchase data plans separately, based on MBs.

No, that's incorrect. The data plan is an entirely separate charge from the calling (i.e., minutes) plan.

No need for internet. I went to Verizon and specifically asked them to turn it off. If they don't turn it off on their end then yes, I believe you are subject to accidental data charges. Check with your carrier; I use Verizon

I have noticed no significant impact on my mobile data plan. Since the app doesn't run all of the time, it will only use data when you want to check the status or run a command. I have used 450kb in the last month.

No It doesnt work for pay as you go anymore.I just bought one of the other sidekicks on here and got a plan for 500 anytime and free night and weekends with unlimited pic and normal txt for like 45 dollars.Will be like sixty with unlimited internet

No, they do not. You will be able to use it on a normal plan, without data required!

Yes, you can keep a track of how many data you used a monthly you can download an application in the Google store. I recomend you to get the 2.5gb per month , becuase you have an smart phone and smart phones used must of the time data. 500 mb is too little for an smart phone. Good luck

I think the plan where you pay $15 every three month is gone. They went up to $20 a month before they discontinued this plan. I still have it but I think it's because I've been grandfathered. You need to check with Virgin Mobile. Ask if they still have the $15 for three months and when they say no, ask if they have one like it. I also only use mine for emergencies and I continue to accumulate minutes. But since you are starting out you may want to look around. I don't find Virgin Mobile as good a deal as some others and they're a pain to deal with. I only remain with them because I've got so many accumulated minutes.

yes. If you do not add on any of the extras, You will not get a bill. That is how I am using it. Just be aware that FreedomPop does hold in reserve that last 100mb of the promised 500mb so you are correct that it is 400mb free. Also, just so you are aware the terms of service says (or used to say) you would be charged $.99 if you do not use 4mb per month but they have suspended that fee.

No, you can set up a plan where you can top-up every three months. I pay $15 every three months and as long as I don't use more than the pop-up amount, I don't have to pay any more. You can choose how much you want to pop-up and how frequently. It's a very flexible program and very econmical if you don't use your cell phone a lot. I don't give my cell phone number to too many people. I use it primarily to make out-going calls on an emergency basis. Works great for me.

It is an additional charge. I have the spot 2 so I can chose several different plans. The Spot 3 doesn't offer my current plan.

There's a monthly charge. The hotspot tracks your usage for you and tells you how many days are left in your billing cycle so it's easy to keep from running over your limit.

If you use below the 500mb you don't have to pay anything but you must use at least 5 mb a month or you will have to pay a fee to start it back up. Beware that that this device will not work everywhere due to it being 4 g only so check the areas that you travel to see if it works. Also they have other hotspots that will work everywhere that is 3G and 4g with great plans. Soon they will so be a cell phone company that you could actually have free service. Do a search.
