"A US firm is to extend its free mobile data, voice and text offering to the UK from July this year.
FreedomPop will offer Sim cards that offer 200MB of data, 200 texts and 200 minutes of voice calls per month using the cellular network at no cost.
The company already offers a similar free mobile data plan in the US to more than half a million users.
The firm, which is backed by Skype founder Niklas Zennstom, says it will make money by selling extra services."

Although it says, "Use on Any Device",it is of no use to anyone who hasn't got, doesn't want or need a smart phone, (and there will be many who have just a mobile phone that only does calls and texts), as you need to  download an app, surely an ordinary mobile phone is "a device".

No a device is a portable, wireless computing device that is small enough to be used while held in the hand. Eg  Smartphones,Tablet,etc etc.
