. A while back I did a video on getting 500MB of free data per month with FreedomPop using a mobile hotspot. In this video, I show their free phone service they've got with a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch.
The details are:
200 Minutes
500 Messages
500MBs Data
All of this per month at no cost, all you pay for is the phone (shipping is free). FreedomPop itself is a freemium wireless service that is still in beta meaning it'll have bugs and issues to work out. Freemium is, while there is a free service plan, there are other plans with more minutes/messaging/data that have a cost (which tends to cover the free stuff).
FreedomPop works over Sprint's network using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) for all voice and messaging operations (seperate from your 500MB of data). This tends to use battery power rather quickly resulting in short battery life... but using something like an Xpal Powerskin that I showed in a previous video can help with this problem. _

![LEGO Power Functions: How to improve operating range
Visit my Linktree to access my socials and other channels: https://linktr.ee/mausolfb
. Anyone who has tried to use the LEGO Power Functions system outdoors knows that the range is quite limited due to interference of the infrared signal (sunlight and lack of objects to bounce off of). I experimented with the idea of using a remote control extender designed for use in entertainment centers. By transmitting RF signals and then re-transmitting the IR signal at the receiver to the PF receiver, it eliminates any potential range issue (up 150 feet).
The one I chose to use based on how it operated was the NextGen Remote Control Extender Genius (my video on it is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ij_Fa7jtOY )
Building instructions for the extender holder are here https://mausolfb.altervista.org/lego/Building%20Instructions/Building%20Instructions%20[IR-Holder].html
