Trumpet Mobile is a cellular telephone carrier that is owned by Affinity Mobile, a company specializing in turnkey [2] Mobile virtual network operator products.

A Prepaid using the Sprint PCS[3] network and sold exclusively in RadioShack[4] stores across the United States (including Puerto Rico), Trumpet targets general prepaid customers instead of a niche clientèle such as Virgin Mobile USA[5] and is likely to appeal to adult customers who dislike contracts or would have to pay a deposit otherwise.

Price Plans[edit]

Trumpet offers two basic calling plans:

  • The "Ten Cent Plan" is $.10 per minute and $.50 per day, with text messages costing $.05 each.
  • The "Basic Plan" is $.20 per minute to most numbers, $.10 to other members of the same Family Plan (see Family Plan below), and with text messages costing $.10 each.

Family Plan[edit]

Trumpet has a family plan option where between 2 and 9 accounts can be linked, with one account named "Family Administrator", which can distribute funds from a family pool to other accounts, maintain a shared pool of funds, and receive notices when individual accounts in the family plan are low on individual funds.

Money transfers[edit]

Along with the telephone, the box contains a Green Dot "Cash Card", which acts as a debit card. With a sufficient balance on the card, the customer can transfer money to others via Western Union using an on-phone application.

International Long Distance[edit]

Trumpet Mobile has international rates starting at $.03 per minute depending on the country and type of call. Typically, mobile-to-mobile calls cost more than mobile-to-land line.[6]
