CREDO Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator based in the city of San Francisco in California, has decided to debut a new unlimited plan that is priced at $80 for a single line of service. It is interesting to note that as an MVNO, the provider currently leases network capacity from the number one wireless carrier in the United States, Verizon Wireless. Even more intriguing is the fact that its new $80 plan appears to be identical to the Big Red’s unlimited offering:
Similarities notwithstanding, CREDO Mobile’s $80 unlimited plan comes with unlimited voice calls, unlimited text messaging, and unlimited data, plus HD video streaming as well as 10 gigabytes of mobile hotspot tethering. And as mentioned earlier, the service provider runs on the Big Red’s network, which is considered by many as the most reliable overall in the country.
Apart from the new $80 unlimited plan, CREDO Mobile also offers the 16 gigabyte edition of Apple’s iPhone SE for a price of $7.99 a month on the said plan. For those looking to explore other options aside from the iPhone SE, they should know that the MVNO also has more than a dozen other smartphone devices made available, including the latest from Apple -- the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus.
For those who have never heard of CREDO Mobile, it actually is a wireless carrier that distinguishes itself by its philanthropy angle. Of course, it is not alone in having a leaning towards charity -- The People’s Operator (TPO Mobile) and Faith Wireless are also other examples of philanthropic mobile operators. CREDO Mobile actually started out as a non-profit venture more than three decades ago, and over the years has evolved into a for profit wireless company. Despite the change, the carrier has not forgotten its generous roots -- it continues to donate a portion of its earnings to a number of progressive non-profit organizations. Customers (CREDO Mobile likes to refer to them as “members”) have a vote in selecting which specific non-profit organizations receive the donated proceeds on a monthly basis.
