What a pointless comment - just for example then since you mention "lunch", try telling that to those using the huge variety of free meals service for the homeless or food banks.
And yet strangely FreedomPop too do offer a free service.
BTW this is not a "first" here in the UK to offer free mobile calls & texts, either.
I thought you only wanted to disagree and it seems I am proven correct.
Nice review link and selective quotation; anything to prove negativity towards whatever you do not approve of, eh?
Did you not note that the majority of reviews there are from outside the UK - or did you maybe conveniently disregard that part?
Why did you not tell us what the Trustpilot score was?
Okay, I will:
FreedomPop score on Trustpilot = 5.5 out of 10.
By comparison, EE = 1.5 out of 10 and Vodafone 0.5 out of 10. So according to Trustpilot, which is the worst?
Before you begin (as I know you will) to counter and say "but Trustpilot scores 1pMobile at 8.6" - yes, but you pay for it, as has been said before.
As for coverage - well three has 9.2 million customers as of December 2016 according to their website, plus how many MVNO's? For example, Carphone Warehouse's "iD mobile" uses that network too. So as I said yesterday, coverage cannot be as poor as your experience suggests.
People complain about coverage of all the networks.
Don't mistake this as a personal recommendation of FreedomPop BTW. It is not. What it is though is proof that you
can get cheaper than your recommendation which is, after all, what you yourself asked for.

Still I am willing to be proved wrong if there is a cheaper tariff.
And:

These statements have conclusively been proven incorrect.
Again, I am not personally recommending FreedomPop; I am showing what is available.
As a free service there are bound to be limitations.
To which end if anyone is interested, here is a 16-odd minute video with quite a comprehensive review.
From here in the UK.

There would appear to be little point in going further because you seem determined in your personal crusade.

but to most of us usage does matter if I followed your lead and it cost me more than I pay now it would matter to you too I promise !
Absolutely so, and this was the point of my initial response.
What a shame that the OP does not recognise this fact when even Ofcom do.
