Taking 4G and 5G beyond speed: know how Reach Mobile is using this technology for social good

Four billion people worldwide without a basic connection, and many in the US who cannot afford a monthly phone plan. Now, the mobile service you purchase every month can help give meaningful connectivity to someone in need.

Reach Mobile is a new mobile service that launched in the US in 2019. Running on the nation's largest and most reliable 4G LTE network, this boutique mobile service offers all the speed and reliability of the "big four" carriers (Verizon, ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile). But reliability and coverage aside, there are a few major differences between Reach and more traditional carriers.

1. Reach Mobile doesn’t have any stores. Instead of visiting a store to manage your phone plan, you simply open an app. In fact, you can sign up for Reach, pick a plan, activate your new service, and monitor anything related to your mobile service, all from the app. Seems anti-social? It's not… just smart.
2. Every Reach Mobile plan helps connect someone in need around the world. Every month, your plan helps give connectivity to a woman in India, Nigeria, or the US, and the gifted connection recurs monthly for a minimum of 12 months. Reach has NGO/not-for-profit partners in those countries, and they share stories about the recipients of the mobile connectivity so that Reach customers can learn about the impact being made.
3. Common-sense policies that aren't full of hidden fine print. The major carriers have networks figured out, but customer service isn't always their strongest attribute. Reach takes a more common-sense/human approach to phone service. For example, the Best Fit feature can be boiled down to this: pick the plan you want, pay for the plan you use. E.g. if you buy the 10GB plan but only use 4GB that month, your bill will automatically change to the 5GB plan. In other words, they charge you less money without you even having to ask.
