‘Snowden Phone’ by FreedomPop vows to encrypt your calls and data

US Consumers looking for a wireless steal can now get encrypted free monthly phone service thanks to FreedomPop, the firm behind the market new entrant “Snowden Phone.”
FreedomPop allows Americans to use free cellphone service.
In March 2014, Los Angeles start-up FreedomPop benefitted from rising public concerns regarding mass surveillance with its Privacy Phone, which was later nicknamed as “the Snowden phone.”

Within mere 12 hours the company sold out its opening inventory of 10,000 Privacy phones and managed to book a wait list of over 100,000 more pieces.
Almost a year later, the manufacturer vouches to diffuse mass concerns and win over the public via offering a low-priced device that is high on privacy.
CEO FreedomPop Stephen Stokils states:

“There’s a lot of demand for privacy, but it’s not compelling enough where people are going to dictate their device choice based on it.”

According to the company’s internal analysis around 90% Privacy Phone owners use it as a secondary device.
As per Stokols, the Free price tag for most of FreedomPop’s service appears to have far greater appeal for the masses than encrypted calls, Internet service and texts. The company offers unlimited service for $10.
