CREDO Mobile

CREDO Mobile is America's Greenest Cell Phone Company.  Headquartered in San Francisco, we are the only U.S. phone company that has donated over $10 million to groups like NRDC, Sierra Club, Rocky Mountain Institute, and the Vote Solar Initiative.  We're the only one that prints our bills with soy-based ink on 100% post-consumer recycled paper.  We're the only one that plants 100 trees for every ton of paper we use (enough to make another ton of paper).  And we're the only one recognized for our commitment to a greener world by the prominent environmental nonprofit Planning and Conservation League, which named us its Environmental Business of the Year in 2009.

We were the first company to offer certified CarbonFree phones through our partnership with Carbonfund.org, which covers the estimated lifetime electricity usage and shipping of phones.  We were also the first to offer solar-powered phone chargers.  We offer refurbished phones to help keep cell phones out of landfills.  And we're committed to phone recycling: along with every handset, we include a prepaid shipping label from CollectiveGood, a leading phone recycler, to make it easy for our members to repurpose their old phones - keeping tens of thousands of cell phones out of landfills.

We also make it easy for our members to speak out.  Our member-driven CREDO Action lobby has pushed Congress to pass the first increase in fuel-economy standards in two decades, put a halt to 58 coal-fired power plants and urged Congress to renew tax breaks for clean energy.  Recently, the National Marine Fisheries Service approved stricter catch limits for our world's oceans - a policy we championed for years.

And we're still working hard for many other vital environmental causes, like protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and strengthening the Endangered Species Act.

Special discount for US Green Building Council Members & Staff:
  • 8% discount on your monthly voice and plan fees
  • 25% discount on accessories, including solar chargers
  • We will pay up to $200 for early termination fees with your current carrier
