Patriot Mobile In 2023: What You Need To Know

Patriot Mobile was founded in 2013 and is a Christian-conservative wireless service provider. The MVNO’s tagline is “Mobilizing Freedom.” The company’s website states that its mission is to “defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms.”

Every dollar spent through a subscriber’s Patriot Mobile phone service is used to support conservative causes such as honoring veterans, helping first responders, and defending First and Second amendment rights. Patriot Mobile also supports many other organizations and causes which are outlined here.

Customer Referral Program

Patriot Mobile offers a referral program. Subscribers who refer a new customer will receive $10/month off of their phone bill for an entire calendar year. Subscribers can earn referral credits for up to the amount of their phone bill. As an example, if a customer has a $50/month phone bill, they can earn referral credits for referring up to 5 people. That would get the referring subscriber enough credits to completely cover the cost of their phone bill for up to one year.

Patriot Mobile Offers Five Phone Plans

There is a total of five Patriot Mobile phone plans, and they are available for use on either the T-Mobile, AT&T, or Verizon network depending on your area.

A quick look at Patriot Mobile’s plans reveals the following options:

• $25/month – 1GB 4G LTE/5G data
• $35/month – 3GB 4G LTE/5G data
• $50/month – 10GB 4G LTE/5G data, & up to 10GB mobile hotspot
• $65/month – 22GB 4G LTE/5G data
• $75/month – 40GB 4G LTE/5G data, & up to 22GB mobile hotspot

All plans include unlimited talk, text, and data. However, data speeds are reduced to 2G (slow) data speeds once a plan’s high-speed allotment has been surpassed during a monthly billing cycle. Customers should be aware that for many online activities data speeds at 2G are very slow and may not be useable. Customers with 2G data will be able to send emails, and may possibly be able to stream audio. Websites will likely load very slow if they do at all, and videos either won’t play or will be extremely pixelated and blurry. All plans except the $25 plan include free data roaming and allow for HD video streaming.

Phone plans can be used with physical SIM cards or eSIM.

Basic Features Included With Every Patriot Mobile Plan

Family Plan Options

Patriot Mobile does offer discounts to those that have more than 1-line of service. Discounts range from 10% off for 2 lines and 15% off for 3 lines or more. There does not appear to be a limit to the number of lines allowed per account. A test order I did on their website allowed me to add more than 30 lines to my shopping cart.

Potential Hidden & Extra Costs

Patriot Mobile charges subscribers a $30 activation fee per line of service. According to their terms of service, a non-refundable fee may be charged when customers activate a new number, ask for their number to be switched to a different phone, request a number change, or activate an additional line on their account.

Subscribers ordering a phone can have it shipped preactivated for an additional $10. There is a 14-day device return policy in place. Customers will have 14 days from either the date they accepted their product shipment or activated a line, whichever is earlier, to ask to cancel their plan and return their device. Activation fees and the cost of the service plan canceled within that time frame will be refunded to the customer. Returned devices are subjected to a $35 restocking fee.

Customer Loyalty Device Discount Program

Patriot Mobile does offer what it calls loyal customers a discount on phone purchases. Loyal customers are those that maintain service on an account with good standing for at least 18 consecutive months. Those that do are rewarded with a 20% discount (maximum of $150) off the retail price of a single device purchased from the provider. The device purchased at a discount can only be used with the existing line of service or a new line of service that gets added to an existing account.
