If you hate your stupid wireless phone company because: a) they spy on you (ATT and Verizon), b) they fuck over the consumer (ATT and Verizon) or c) have terrible customer service (Sprint), there is an alternative for you.
Presenting CREDO Mobile, a MVNO (that runs on the Sprint backbone), committed to responsible business practices. While CREDO does run on Sprint, Credo does all of their own service, plus Sprint does not comply to blanket wiretapping (unlike ATT and Verizon). Sprint require warrants, and ensures that employees are present at all times with officials conducting wiretapping (I have a friend that works at the Sprint KC backbone building, and he reassures me that there are no strange pipelines leading to nowhere).

How can a cellphone make a difference?
It’s about the power of adding up every-day actions. Along with our parent company, Working Assets, we’ve been doing it for more than 20 years. We’ve raised $60 million for the causes we support, and our activism recently helped halt 30 coal-fired plants from being built, succeeded in raising the federal minimum wage and registered over 1.5 million voters. As a CREDO Mobile member, 1% of charges go to fund progressive nonprofits. And right in your bill we’ll let you know about important issues and ways you can speak out. Join our existing members in sending over 80,000 letters and calls to Congress, the White House and corporate leaders each month.
How do you decide what causes to fund?
It’s a team effort. Every year, we ask our members to nominate nonprofits for funding. We evaluate the nominees and send our final selection on the donations ballot, so you vote on how to distribute the money among the groups. Vote on how to distribute the funds for this year’s nonprofits here.
If you want to feel good about the cell phone company you use, please consider CREDO Mobile.
