Your choice of cell phone service isn't neutral. For instance: did you know AT&T's political action committee gave the maximum to Bush-Cheney – twice? And backed McCain in 2008? At CREDO Mobile, we've supported progressive causes since 1985, through automatic donations and our citizen-activism programs. We're pro-environment: our business practices make us America's greenest phone company. And we're also pro-choice. If you stand for your progressive beliefs, join the phone company that stands with you.
We know it can be expensive to break your contract. That's why we frequently offer contract buyout when you sign up with CREDO Mobile. We'll cover the cost of the early termination fee(s) from your previous carrier (up to $200 per line, up to 3 lines per family plan). Click here to see our current special offers.
Our calls are carried on the all-digital nationwide Sprint® network, which reaches over 280 million people.† So you get great coverage – and the CREDO Mobile commitment to progressive causes. Sprint® is the network provider only. Your service, including our friendly customer service, is handled exclusively by CREDO Mobile.
†Sprint® is a trademark of Sprint-Nextel.
Every year we ask our members to nominate their favorite progressive nonprofits for funding. Then we evaluate the nominees, choose 50 and send the news back to our members. At year's end, they vote to decide how to divide the donations they've raised among the 50 nonprofit groups.
We're a phone company that is not just green, we're real green.
- We're the only one that's donated over $10 million to groups like Greenpeace, Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club.
- We're the only one that prints our bills with soy-based ink on all-recycled paper and plants 100 trees for every ton of paper we use (enough for another ton of paper).
- We were the first phone company certified carbon neutral by carbonfund.org. We offset the emissions produced by our phones in their shipping and their electrical use.
- We make it easy for CREDO Mobile members to recycle their old phones with CollectiveGood.
- In the past year our CREDO Action citizen lobby has pushed Congress to pass higher fuel-economy standards and renew tax breaks for clean energy. We helped put a halt to over 53 coal-fired power plants and convinced Target to stop selling products made with toxic PVC.

We do our best to lighten the footprint of each handset.
- We're the first phone company certified by carbonfund.org for offsetting the emissions produced by our phones — the fuel it takes to ship them and the electricity they'll use over their life span.
- We're a leader in phone recycling. With every handset, we send a prepaid shipping label from CollectiveGood to make it easy for our members to recycle their old phones.
- We offer refurbished phones to help keep old phones out of landfills.
- We were the first phone company to offer the Solio solar-powered charger. We also have other ecofriendly accessories.
Yes, you can keep your current mobile phone number when you switch to CREDO Mobile. We can even transfer your current landline number to your new mobile account. After you receive your new phone — which arrives via 2-day shipping — the switch takes only a matter of minutes, so there should be no gaps in service. If you ever have any questions, just call 800.411.0848 to speak with one of our friendly customer service reps.
All of our new members get 30 days to explore their new service with CREDO Mobile before their contracts begin. During this time, we encourage you to get comfortable with your new phone, learn more about our donations process and activism programs, and enjoy comprehensive coverage — like getting a signal when you need it! Your contract won't start for 30 days, so this is just a way for you to get to know us and for us to address any early questions. There is no early termination fee during the trial but all service charges and late/damaged equipment fees will apply.
