Someone sent me a link to their site. It seems like a nice idea but I am wondering what the catch is....

What small print am I missing?

Anyone familiar with it at all?

Similar business model as Skype etc. but what is the gimmick here? How can it be totally free?

I have it. Its a little slower, and has limited access. If you need to do video streaming, Skype or things like that it's not worth it. Not great but not horrible either.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am actually looking for a cheap plan for basic talk and text. The data isn't that important to me.
What is the average charge for month? I assume you are paying something. What about up front costs? Am I limited to which phones I can use? Do I have to take their phone?

Bumping this up because I found a sale on it

Does anyone know how it works with paying? Do I only pay for the months that I use it? Is it the kind of thing that I can have in my closet and use it when I go away?

I'd love to get more information.

TIA!

You should Google reviews. While they do provide what they say, they are known to charge for things they shouldn't be charging for and it is very difficult to reach their customer service to get things corrected. No first hand experience here, but I was seriously considering at one point and researched it. Additionally, it runs on Sprint's network which doesn't have the greatest coverage everywhere.
