Bees in danger again

Think this speaks for itself:

Our bees are in danger again. Toxic chemical companies are trying to get their banned pesticides back on UK fields. Yesterday an application was submitted to the government asking them to lift the ban on bee-killing chemicals for some crops planted this autumn.

Bees don’t have a voice, but we do. Please can you sign the petition right now demanding that we keep the ban on bee-killing pesticides?

Freedompop free mobile phone service

Anyone know anything about freedompop, a free mobile phone provider? eBuyer's blog makes it sound a good match to my needs, e.g. very few calls, a little data and check email on the move, the pay plans from other companies I've looked at are too expensive for the little use I'd make of them. I'd need to get some sort of mobile phone with a bigger screen, of course, but something old and slow would be fine for my needs.

All that Freedompop's UK site does is take your address details and say that they'll contact you when the service is available, but it does appear to be genuine if eBuyer aren't lying.

later - reviews of their US service say it's a bit slow, with coverage poor and no technical support unless you pay for it. Might still be worth considering for very occasional use, but only if I can find a suitable unlocked phone cheap.
