I am quite happy with my choice: I use Credo (formerly Working Assets) for both mobile and long distance. Here's one of the reasons I really like them (from their latest email to me):
What your phone company
does... | CREDO Mobile |
AT&T | Verizon |
| to spy on you: | We donate to the ACLU to STOP wiretapping. | Known to have cooperated with the Bush administration's warrantless spying on American citizens. | |
| with the money you pay them: | We donate over $50 million to progressive nonprofits, including the ACLU. | Contributes more money to political campaigns than almost any other company — mostly to Republicans. | Spends $90 million on lobbying — more than Phillip Morris or Exxon. |
| for the environment: | We're America's greenest phone company — and the only one to offer solar chargers. | Think of the worst polluters in elected office. That's where their money goes. | |
| for your freedom of speech: | We support First Amendment heroes like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Democracy Now. | Censored Pearl Jam's Bush criticism during a concert webcast. | Blocked text messages from NARAL Pro-Choice America (until forced to allow them). |
| for a free and open internet: | We support nonprofit groups that advocate for internet freedom. | Preparing to abandon the neutral net and start filtering content. | Called for an end to Google's "free lunch" and tries to drive users to its own search engine. |
What a great ad.
BTW: if you are tired of your phone company, you can check out Credo's special offer here.

Posted by: ccoaler at February 3, 2008 05:16 AMNice timing! We've been looking for a cell phone option for my wife (I have a company-provided option), and I was damned if I was going to subsidize any wiretap proponent or rightwing enabler. This might be just what we were looking for! Thanks!
