What is my monthly charge?
$0. freedata4u, it says so right on our domain name.
We offer a package, valued at $30.00, which will be sufficient for many of our users. We will submit the claim directly. There is no charge to you, unless you choose a larger data plan.
If our base plan isn’t robust enough for your needs, you may opt for a higher use data package or choose to TopUp throughout the month. This is ideal for when higher data is only needed occasionally. View our data plans on the Home page to choose a plan.
Can I connect the device to Wi-Fi?
As long as the device you’re using has Wi-Fi, then it should be able to connect to available Wi-Fi. This allows you to use up less data on the device plan, which helps ensure that the base plan meets your monthly data needs. Remember to turn-off Wi-Fi, at least once each month to stay enrolled in the program.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You may cancel at any time with no penalty. We hope you will stay with us.
Can we apply for several people within the same household?
ACP service benefits are limited to one per household. The benefit is not transferrable.
This sounds too good, what’s the catch?
To continue receiving the benefit, you must continue to qualify for benefit, as indicated on original application. Also, you must access the internet directly at least once each month. If you connect through Wi-Fi, turn-off Wi-Fi on the device, at least once each month. Other activities may also qualify service to continue.
