SurgePays Launches Nationwide on AT&T Network with 250,000 SIMs Shipped
SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq: SURG), a key player in the wireless and point-of-sale technology sector, has reached a monumental milestone with the nationwide launch of its services on the AT&T network. This development comes as SurgePays has successfully completed its integration as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With over 250,000 SIM cards dispatched to customers and retail partners across the United States, SurgePays is well on its way to meeting the increasing demand for its telecommunication services.
The company's integration with AT&T, finalized on April 1, followed months of rigorous testing and gradual migration of prepaid subscribers. The collaboration enables SurgePays to offer improved direct-to-consumer wireless services while serving as a mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE).
Brian Cox, the Chairman and CEO of SurgePays, expressed his enthusiasm about the launch, emphasizing that the company has transitioned from merely being a reseller to operating directly with AT&T. This shift empowers SurgePays to strategically scale its operations on both retail and wholesale fronts in the wireless industry.
Speedy Integration and Future Growth
Remarkably, the entire integration process from signing the contract to completing the migration took less than six months — a rapid turnaround in the telecommunications landscape. With this integration, SurgePays now offers comprehensive nationwide services that include both 4G LTE and 5G connectivity under the LinkUp Mobile brand, in addition to facilitating other wireless providers through its MVNE platform.
SurgePays plans to expand its operations through three main revenue streams:
1. Direct-to-consumer prepaid services via the LinkUp Mobile brand.
2. Government-subsidized Lifeline mobile offerings aimed at assisting eligible low-income subscribers.
3. MVNE infrastructure that enables wholesale partners without direct carrier agreements.
The company has seen substantial market interest, with early responses outpacing its initial forecasts. Retail partners have increased their orders for SIM cards and top-up activations, prompting SurgePays to allocate inventory efficiently while welcoming new wholesale clients to its growing network.
In November 2024, SurgePays signed a multi-year MVNO agreement with AT&T, a move that not only enhanced its access to a reliable nationwide network but also positioned the company to provide essential telecommunications infrastructure to other mobile service providers through its MVNE offerings. This strategic shift is expected to drive SurgePays towards its objective of generating high-margin recurring revenues.
