The wife and I badly need new phones, and we're both tired of the big three funding BLM, Planned Parenthood, deranged leftists, Great Reset, etc. Patriot Mobile comes relatively well spoken for by some national hosts I trust. Anyone have experience with them? Or other suggestions?

Second question... all of these "smaller service providers" apparently utilize the existing towers, but one must choose either AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon. Any recommendations?

Yes, but since my bill would be halved, I presume my donation to hateful groups would diminish as well.

How? I asked a conservative-leaning message board for advice on choosing a service we all need, but to lower my contribution to hateful groups.

You are unwilling or unable to help, so kindly GFY.

Any of the MVNOs will lower your bill but the money will still go to your big 3. Go that route instead of putting your name in a potential honeypot

I am an investor in Patriot Mobile. They use the big carriers network. Patriot used Verizon. They are who I used with no regrets

Patriot is a Sprint MVNO. You pretty much have to get off of cellular and go to a decentralized network. Those aren't viable yet because the network nodes are still relatively sparce. Give it a few more years and you'll be able to buy a phone that connects to one of theses networks to handle phone and data.

Disagree. I think we need more people signing up with these pro-conservative companies to send a message and to encourage more startups.

PureTalkUSA sponsors Shapiros show, have for a while. Check into them as well.

I wish I could give you some info, but I haven't dealt with Patriot or PureTalk myself. I'd like too as well, though. So I'll bookmark this thread and keep looking into it myself.

Patriot Mobile is a MVNO - Mobile Virtual Network Operator which means they buy network access in bulk at wholesale rates from one of the larger carriers.

The large carriers don’t make as much off you as if you were a retail customer but they make some. It does lower the “net available” to PP and other BS donations.

As far as reliability goes it’s the same network as the major carrier so it’s reliable.

Once set up you don’t need to carrier for much so they don’t need great CS.
