You can use VPN to access Google Voice site, but I don't know how the person said he/she can get Google Voice number with FreedomPop VOIP number. I am guessing maybe that person was doing a port-in instead of phone verification???

My Google account was created during the Gmail beta period, and I was able to get Google Voice, but to get a different Google Voice number, I had to use my old T-Mobile prepaid for the verification. FreedomPop VOIP or anything that uses Bandwidth.com (freedompop, voip.ms) VoIP will not pass the verification.

If the phone number has been used by someone else in the past to verify Google Voice, then it will fail the verification.

Apologies if in the thread - I have looked!
I saw on google that Freedompop offered free Whatsapp like Knowroaming - is this true? Or were they just counting the free data?
Also I haven't seen a definitive answer can I order this now but not activate until August?
Many thanks

The sim card is activated when it's shipped. To get the WhatsApp plan, you need to switch plans.

I was able to have GV verify my Freedompop number. GV sent me a verification text to my FP number. Mine you it was for an existing GV account I had from way back when, so not a new registration, not sure if that makes a difference.

My globalsim account said I was about to go over data and suspended it. All my details were gone and it showed red message. I thought they screwed me due to paypal link not being active. I never even pop the SIM card in once yet.

Today it seems back...

Just a note to anyone who has same proble.m

Just a note that if you don't use your sim's or log into your account for about a month, your account will go dormant. Its easy enough to activate again by logging into your account but you will lose your existing number and will have to select a new one. That happened to a few of my accounts (including global sim, LTE sim and a sprint phone) where I had to select a new number. There is no charge to select a new number. Not sure when this change started but its just something that everyone needs to be aware of. Be sure to check before you go down south or overseas if you have the global sim.

Not always the case. Account was fine for 6 months or longer. I still have old my number after being "suspended" for "about to go over" in data usage....

I know, its weird. Some of my accounts were fine and others required me to select a new number. Not sure why some were affected and others were not.

Anyone looking for the Global sims still, Bestbuy USA has them on sale right now for $0.99. Store pickup is free if you have them available at your local store, otherwise shipping is $5.49 or Free if order is >$35.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/freedompop- ... Id=5712297

The usual warnings about downgrading and adding FreedomFriends still apply.

Bestbuy may not accept parcel receiving places so its YMMV.

dumb question,
so i just ordered a phone and sim and it comes with 2GB free trail.
will be in the US for 5 days, can i keep this free trial 2GB until after my trip then downgrade so i have more than just 200mb? if i have used like lets say 1GB and i come home and downgrade, do i have to pay for the 800mb "overage" or am i still covered?

I've tried to buy this global sim through their website but says out of stock. Is that true? Does it only become available occasionally? Also seems tricky to even find the link to the global sim, they only seem to show the USA LTE sim package. Sorry if this is obvious to others, please forgive my ignorance.

I thought the SIMs don't work in Asia? It's still listed as "Coming Soon" in their FAQ: https://support.freedompop.com/app/answ ... al-sim-faq

Currently 0.99USD at BB: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/freedompop- ... Id=5712297
But no free shipping to a U.S. address unless your order is above 35USD.
