Los Angeles-based FreedomPop, the 'Freemium' mobile broadband outfit, has started selling its first product online, a WiMAX sleeve that fits over the iPhone 4 and 4S. However, as against the 1 GB of free monthly data it originally advertised, the company will now give a guaranteed 500 MB. WiMAx and 4G connections are known to deliver performance that is 15 times faster than the 3G services.
According to Mauricio Sastre, FreedomPop's VP of Product, the timing of the product launch couldn’t be better as other mobile carriers, AT&T and Verizon are raising the prices for broadband data plans, and consumers are looking for better alternatives.
The $99 case also promises to extend your iPhone’s battery life by upto six hours and enables users to share WiFi with upto eight devices simultaneously.
"We are one step closer to disrupting the wireless broadband internet market and providing all US citizens with access to free, fast, reliable wireless internet on the most popular mobile device in the world," emphasized Sastre. When ordering the device, the company guarantees that you will receive your sleeve “before the rest of the world.”
