Connecting America, One Device at a Time
At Talk Now Mobile, we’re on a mission to bridge the digital divide by providing free communication tools to low-income Americans through government Lifeline and ACP programs.
Our Story
From a simple idea to a nationwide movement helping thousands stay connected
How It All Began
Talk Now Mobile was founded in 2018 by Sarah Johnson, a former social worker who witnessed firsthand how the lack of communication tools created barriers for low-income families.
After helping a single mother miss a job opportunity because she couldn’t afford a phone, Sarah knew something needed to change. She assembled a team of telecom experts and policy specialists to create a service that would simplify access to government communication benefits.
