The site advertises "Use your own phone" and "Bring Your Own Phone and Number". It does not advertise a free phone. Its terms say some customers may be eligible for a free wireless device. Others get a SIM card, the small card that connects a phone to the network, to use in their own phone or one they buy from StandUp.
