Patriot Mobile is an American mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) based in Grapevine, Texas.[1] The company claims to use all three major networks[2] to deliver wireless services.[3] Patriot Mobile has positioned itself as America's only Christian, Conservative wireless provider. They currently provide support for the 4G and 5G networks.

In 2022, Patriot Mobile created Patriot Mobile Action, a political action committee (PAC), to which the company contributes roughly a quarter of political action funds.

The company's efforts have garnered praise from Steve Bannon.

History[edit]

Patriot Mobile was established in 2013 by Glenn Story,[4] with a mission to offer cellular services that resonate with individuals who prioritize constitutional freedoms, religious liberty, and traditional American values. It was founded in response to what its founders perceived as a growing need for a mobile service provider that aligns with conservative ideologies.
