**Original Story**

Earlier this month, it was announced that Ting Mobile has acquired the Sprint customers of FreedomPop. Now, those customers have a choice they need to make.

On its website, Ting says that FreedomPop is quitting Sprint. FreedomPop customers that are affected by this move now have their service moved to them. The company also states that nothing else has changed with the phone service. All that’s left to do is to activate service under Ting Mobile or move to another carrier.

Ting has an exclusive offer for (former) FreedomPop customers: a $20 plan that comes with unlimited talk, text, and 20GB of LTE data. There is also an option to get the $6 plan that includes unlimited talk and text, and LTE data can be added at $4 per GB.

As a special offer, the $20 plan comes with a free first month of service. The only thing that needs to be paid are the taxes and government/regulatory fees.
