Using Firsty Free Data App One Week Later: Uber Still Works for Free Without Mobile Data on My TCL K32 5G
Finding reliable free mobile data is becoming more important every year. Whether you're trying to save money or simply need a backup connection, apps like Firsty are becoming popular for people who don't want to pay for traditional wireless service every month.
After using the Firsty Free Data app for an entire week on my TCL K32 5G, I wanted to share my real-world experience and answer one of the biggest questions people have:
Can you actually use Uber without paying for a data plan?
For me, the answer was yes.
My Test Setup
For this test I used:
TCL K32 5G smartphone
Firsty Free Data app
One full week of daily testing
Uber app
Rather than relying on speed tests, I focused on something more important—whether the apps I actually use every day continued to work.
Uber Continued Working
One of the biggest surprises was that Uber continued working throughout my testing.
I was able to:
Open the Uber app
View available rides
Check pricing
Request rides
Use the service without purchasing a traditional mobile data plan
For anyone who depends on Uber for transportation, this could be a useful backup option when you don't have regular mobile data available.
Firsty Isn't Designed for High-Speed Streaming
It's important to understand what Firsty is.
The free plan isn't meant to replace an unlimited premium cellular plan.
Instead, it's designed to keep you connected for essential services and supported apps.
For many people, that's exactly what's needed.
One Week Later: My Overall Experience
After using Firsty for seven days, I found that the service remained consistent for my everyday needs.
Some of the things I liked included:
Easy setup
No monthly cellular bill required
Helpful as a backup connection
Great for essential apps
Uber continued working during my testing
That makes Firsty a valuable option for anyone wanting an emergency or secondary data connection.
My TCL K32 5G Experience
The TCL K32 5G handled the service well during my testing.
Apps opened normally, switching between Wi-Fi and Firsty was simple, and the phone remained reliable throughout the week.
For an affordable Android smartphone, it paired nicely with Firsty.
Firsty vs. TextNow Free Flex
After testing both services, I don't think there's a single winner.
Each one offers different advantages.
Firsty
Uses multiple network partners depending on availability
Useful for essential mobile data
Uber worked during my testing
Good backup internet connection
TextNow Free Flex
Free unlimited calling and texting through the TextNow app
Includes access to select supported apps without using your own data
Great option for people who primarily need communication
Instead of choosing one over the other, I actually recommend keeping both installed.
They complement each other well and provide different benefits depending on what you're trying to do.
Final Thoughts
After one full week of testing, Firsty impressed me more than I expected.
The biggest highlight was being able to continue using Uber without paying for a traditional mobile data plan.
While it won't replace a premium unlimited cellular plan for everyone, it's an excellent backup solution for essential connectivity.
If you're looking for ways to lower your monthly phone expenses while staying connected, Firsty is definitely worth trying.
I'll continue testing more apps over the coming weeks and will post additional updates as I learn more.
