Making it only up to 100 assignments is very limiting, but the elasticity to acquire more data or downgrade to a cheap plan balances it out. The one noticeable drawback of FreedomPop is that you're using the exact same network everyone else does, so service quality would depend on where you are at in the country, but in city setting, will be very strong as it has a good reputation in akin to these niche sized companies.
