What are the political affiliations of your mobile service provider? Do you know? Most people don't, and could care less. But the more money we give to these all-too-necessary often-too-evil companies, the more power they gather, and many of them pass this power along to legislators who make decisions with corporations and giant banks, not consumers, in mind. These giant service companies as a result have very little incentive to improve pricing or services for the majority of their customers... and indeed, too many Americans have become familiar with the "run around", doublespeak, confusion and - let's face it - hell - of a customer service environment that these companies create. You practically have to have a degree in IT, Law, and Economics in order to address grievances on your bill with any of these companies.
I'm pleased to announce that there is a new arrival on the scene that not only recognizes these disturbing trends in the most popular providers - they aim to reverse it. While AT&T, as one example, gives millions in donations to campaigns to limit peoples' (and increase companies') bargaining power, Credo dedicates a portion of your monthly bill to a slew of progressive campaigns for the environment, humanities, consumer rights, democratic rights, and other pertinent issues. I can also happily report that every time - that's EVERY time - I have called this company, it has taken less than 2 digits input to get to a real life human in the United States of America - and they have helped me
every time.
Credo is a re-seller of Sprint, which has one of the clearest, most reliable all-digital networks in the country; also, being one of the first into the wireless game, they don't have many of the service issues that other popular providers have. To this date I have not had a dropped call, and the only service interruptions have been verified to have involved the other person's line and carrier.
Unlike my own previous providers, Credo is flexible on billing, providing you up to 75 days to pay off a given bill in full before they will consider shutting down your account - a far cry from the majority of providers, some of whom shut you down within a week and charge expensive activation fees to get your service back online.
When I signed up, this amazing new company had a promotional that involved a brand new
free Google Nexus - an offer, of course, that has expired, since these went like hotcakes up until the point that Google literally has no more to offer. The existing selection of smart and "dumb" phones, however, is still robust.
Most importantly, for those of you still wrapped up in your old provider, Credo offers a "Contract Buyout" credit of 350 dollars which is applied to the contract cancellation of your old company - and, for the first year, you receive 40% off your voice and text services. Picture messaging requires a data plan or you can use the very cheap pay-per-MB plan.
If any of this sounds intriguing to you, if you're sick of your old company, or for your own moral or political reasons you don't want to be involved with "traditional" phone companies anymore, please check out Credo Mobile today and receive the 40% discount by using this link:

Yes, I have a financial reason to be blogging about this - on top of spreading a service I have myself found great value in to my followers, if you put in my name -
Brendan McNamara - and my phone number -
(360)809-0072 - as your referrer - I get a $50 check in the mail. The same applies to you after you sign up! This may seem like multi-level marketing, but it strikes this geek as a profitable and very smart way to get a new product out there!
So what are you waiting for? Start taking back the airwaves for democracy - and you - today!
