Now &#8220;Free&#8221; comes at a price (yeah doesn&#8217;t sound so free any more), aside from the very small 200MB per month cap, you can only use their Free service for 1 year. I guess they can&#8217;t give away the store for free, but if you&#8217;re just looking for an additional way to check your mail on the go, the Free plan isn&#8217;t such a bad idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the source link below if you&#8217;re looking for some cheap\/free (though limited) mobile 4G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2012\/03\/19\/netzero-reinvents-itself-as-americas-first-free-4g-service-provider\/\">BGR<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/store.netzero.net\/account\/viewOffers.do?offerId=nz-wls-free-200-monthly&amp;leftRail=true\">NetZero<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember NetZero?
