If you have a good data connection and only have a FreedomPop Messaging app problem, then open your FreedomPop Messaging app and open the menu (upper left, three dots) and resync your account, AND post in the FreedomPop forums for your subsequent issues. That app is not supported here.

If you have DATA connection issues and are on FreedomPop CDMA/LTE, then my setup notes should be useful. I am on RingPlus.

If you have DATA connection issues and you are using a FreedomPop GSM SIM, then follow these GSM setup notes:

FreedomPop GSM SIM Setup

You may have already done all of this but there is a possibility that you missed something. Please go through it again and report back what does not work. Please be precise.

Please note: When you receive the GSM SIM it should be already activated.

When you open the Blue and White envelope to retrieve the SIM, you will notice setup instructions on the inside of the flap.

Here is a setup guide some of the users on FreedomPop put together.

My GSM SIM setup steps:

(You must have an unlocked GSM device)

0. First check your account (login) to see if the GSM SIM is activated. It should show on this page:

http://www.freedompop.com/acct_device.htm

1. Pop in the GSM SIM,

2. Make sure you are on GSM network type.

There are two locations on the Phronesis ROM:

- Settings -> Communications -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode

- Settings -> Phronesis Rom Control -> System Advanced Settings -> Advanced Phone Features -> Advanced Phone Diagnostic Menu -> Phone Testing Menu -> Device Information -> Set Preferred Network Type

3. Set up the APN (whatever name you want, like FreedomPop and APN - freedompop.foggmobile.com, no other settings required). SAVE the changes (menu at top right).

4. Check the FreedomPop APN is selected

5. Turn on data roaming and mobile data

6. Search for carriers and select your FreedomPop carrier (ignore Sprint and Verizon). You should see two others with the name you used when creating the APN.

Voice communications--------------------------------

For voice communications with the FreedomPop GSM SIM with Voice/text/data, you must have a phone or tablet with a microphone and speakers, running Android 4+ or iOS 7+.

7. Once you have a valid connection on FreedomPop's GSM SIM, download and install the appropriate FreedomPop app:

Android App http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freedompop.phone&hl=en

iPhone App http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/freedompop-free-voice-text/id835399970?mt=8

You must use this software for voice and text. After a successful call, the app will usually integrate with the native dialer app for calls. You must continue to use the FreedomPop app for texting.

Launch the app and use your FreedomPop email and password to login. The first time, you may be asked to pick a number. Once that is done, make a test call using the FreedomPop app. After a successful call, I am told the app will integrate with the native dialer. Use the FreedomPop app for all your text.

------------------------------Still not working

If the above does not work and you still have the activation nag, then the SIM may have an activation corruption. Contact FreedomPop and explain the error you are getting and ask them to confirm the SIM is properly activated.
