I keep on getting twice a month charged 1 cent, now while I still got Chase exclusive it was worth, now my only option is to have Chase change my card number which I'm not a fan
Email them, or post on their Forum.

How do I switch to a free plan?  They're only offering paid plans. $12.99 being the cheapest.

In plans, at your selected plan on the bottom right corner there's an option to downgrade click on that you'll be able to downgrade to Basic 200 Plan.
keep in mind you need $5 in your account in order to downgrade.

Thank you US, I just found the info under "contact" on their site:
Click on the Plans tab from the blue bar at the top of the screen.
Click on the plan that you are currently enrolled in.
From here, you should see a small link that says "To downgrade, click here". Click the word "here" in that sentence.


They then try to get you to keep it and you have to keep clicking "downgrade anyway".
They charge $10 on account in case you've racked up a bill they don't know about.

I pressed any option they had.
for 0.01 i think it's worth another shot. try to order a new sim.

If you first disable the Auto-Top-Up which will ask you to add $5 to your account, you'll be able to downgrade without the $10 charge, so you only add $5 in total.

How?
i managed to order mine with a pre-paid card which has less than $5 on it.

Think it will ship?
will i be able to downgrade for free to the free plan?
What's this talk of needing $5 or $10 in account?
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

You should get it with no problem.

In order to downgrade they ask you to add $10 of credit to your account, just to be secure in case you used more then the amount of Data you ar allowed.
but if you disable the Auto top up which you'll be asked to add $5 of credit for same reason, than you won't have to add $10 to your account.
so you'll end up paying ony $5 instead of $10.

I don't mind paying $5 but i don't want to give them a real CC. Problem is the "CC" they have on file is a gift card with $2 on it

So just change your CC on file, you can give a VCC.

I don't think it's a problem adding your CC, but if you really don't want, change it to your CC add the $5 than change back to the $2 GC.

Good luck with FreedomPop, Customer Service is non existent, ghost charges rampant, speaking from personal experience.

+1,
I had them for a year or so, downgraded both plan and services, charges kept on coming my way, and i needed to upgrade to have the privilege of talking to CS, which did reimburse some of the charges, but two months later, everything was back to square 1, random charges etc.

Once I downgraded didn't hear from them, no charges at all.

No. i only paid 0.01 (with a gift card with $1 balance) i'm hesitant at adding a normal cc because of all the reports of random charges. when i want to downgrade it still asks for $10. it's not giving me an option to pay $5 when disabiling auto pay. it just disabled wih out issue.

my account seems to be a little different than many of you here. it did not require me to add the 1st month free services so i dont have any services that i need to cancel only the $24.99 for the monthly plan which i want to downgrade to the free plan but it looks like i'll need to add $10 in order to downgrade.

It was like I didn't hear from them long time and suddenly talking of them it came as a reminder we're  still here and we can always charge you.
