PureTalk Holdings, Inc. is an American mobile virtual network operator headquartered in Covington, Georgia, United States. PureTalk provides wireless phone service over the AT&T network, while also leveraging eSIM technology. [1]
PureTalk is promoted primarily towards senior citizens, as well as U.S. military veterans (the latter citing the company having been founded by a veteran, even though it is owned by Telrite Holdings). [2]
PureTalk has marketed itself through paid endorsements by conservative radio hosts and internet personalities such as Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Dennis Prager, Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. [2] [3] Levin has promoted Pure Talk as an alternative to AT&T due to it being a "woke" company, despite the fact that PureTalk uses the AT&T network. [2] [4] Additionally, PureTalk joined PublicSquare, an e-commerce platform that aims to be a woke-free alternative to Amazon and other big e-commerce platforms. [5] [6]
In its marketing, PureTalk claims to have forgiven $10,000,000 of veteran debt. [7]
