How to avoid extra charges/Cancel Premier:

Cancel trial:
Log in your FP acct: My Account > Services > Deactivate/Cancel (lower right corner, tiny text)
"To deactivate the FreedomPop Premier service, click here" Pay attention to what they ask, like clicking on "cancel" means you are cancelling the cancelling purpose.
Ignore bright colors, just READ and cancel.

Downgrade data plan:
Go to My Account > Plans and click on link for your current plan in the "My Plan" section. On details page, look a tiny downgrade link ("To downgrade your plan, click here") at the bottom. Pay attention to what they ask, like clicking on "cancel" means you are cancelling the downgrade process. Ignore bright colors and read carefully.

I already have 2, that's why I'm not going for a third...

IIRC it was in their FAQ - if you want another device you need to open another account, and then you can befriend yourself.

Which is even better if you stagger when the month ends on your accounts

If I cancel the data plan before my first month is up, will they bill me for the data I used that was over the free plan amount? They make it sound like that...
