It comes with Kit Kat, I have a Freedompop Galaxy S3 and it works well. Battery life isn't very long when the phone is on. Refurbished Freedompop phones very in quality from unused to slightly scratched screen.

Thanks. How about call quality? If I'm in a store or driving on the road? I guess in my house it prob works better using the house wifi. Sprint is 4 bar 4g in my area.

Call quality varies, when you get your phone, update the Freedompop apps, if they aren't current. The newer apps provide better VOIP. Your best results will occur on an LTE or WiFi network, 3G isn't as good.

Latency will also be a problem, there will be some lag in dialogue, but overall voice quality isn't bad. The newer apps let you add additional codecs, overall this seems to help improve call quality.

Thanks. Maybe ok for me, but doesn't pass the wife test. Guess I'll pass .
