Patriot Mobile Plans
Four capped tiers on all three major networks, sold on what the company funds rather than what the plans cost.
Patriot Mobile is a conservative-values MVNO that donates a share of revenue to advocacy organisations, and that is the reason most of its customers choose it. The plans themselves are ordinary: four capped data tiers from $25 to $75, unlimited talk and text on all of them, running on whichever of the three major networks covers your address best.
That network choice is the one genuinely unusual feature. Most MVNOs resell a single carrier; Patriot Mobile lets you pick AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon coverage at sign-up, which matters in places where only one of the three works. Everything else about the lineup is priced well above what the same data costs on a mainstream prepaid brand, and this page says by how much.

Prices are what Patriot Mobile advertises. The line under each plan name is what you actually pay once taxes and fees land.

What it really costs
Prices are quoted before taxes and fees, and there is a $30 activation fee on every new line plus $10 for a physical SIM if you need one. Budget roughly 7–10% on top of the monthly figure.
The multi-line discounts are the best value in the lineup: 10% off two lines, 15% off three, 20% off four or more. A family of four on the 6GB plan pays $128 a month before taxes rather than $160.
There is no unlimited plan. The 45GB top tier is the ceiling, and past it speeds are reduced for the rest of the cycle. Anyone who would otherwise buy unlimited should know that going in.
On price per gigabyte this is an expensive way to buy data, and the comparison is not close. 6GB costs $40 here; Tello sells 10GB for $15 and Mint sells 5GB for $15. The donation is the product. If it is not what you are buying, the plans do not justify the premium on their own.

Frequently asked questions
What network does Patriot Mobile use?
All three. You choose AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon coverage when you activate, which is unusual for an MVNO and the main practical argument for the service. Coverage is the host carrier's; priority is not, so your data slows before that carrier's own postpaid customers during congestion.
How much does Patriot Mobile cost?
Four capped tiers with unlimited talk and text: $25/mo for 2GB, $40 for 6GB, $50 for 12GB and $75 for 45GB. Taxes and fees are extra, and every new line carries a $30 activation fee. Multi-line discounts run 10% for two lines, 15% for three and 20% for four or more.
Does Patriot Mobile have an unlimited plan?
No. The largest tier is 45GB, after which speeds are reduced for the rest of the billing cycle. If you want genuinely unlimited data, this is not the carrier for it.
Is Patriot Mobile more expensive than other carriers?
Yes, substantially. 6GB costs $40 a month here; Tello sells 10GB for $15 and Mint sells 5GB for $15 on annual terms. The premium buys the donation to conservative advocacy organisations, which is what most customers are choosing. On plan features alone, the lineup is not competitive.
Does Patriot Mobile include a mobile hotspot?
Yes, on every plan, with the hotspot drawing from your plan's data allowance rather than carrying a separate bucket. On the 2GB tier that is a small allowance to share.
What is the Patriot Mobile contract buy-out offer?
Patriot Mobile will cover part of the cost of leaving your current carrier, but the offer carries a 24-month commitment and an early termination fee if you leave inside it. That is the one place in the lineup where you sign something, and it is worth reading in full before accepting.
Where does the money go?
Patriot Mobile donates a share of its revenue to conservative advocacy organisations and publishes the list of causes it supports. The company treats that as the reason to buy rather than the plans, and the pricing reflects it.
