PureTalk takes 20% off your plan for military members and first responders. You sign up and activate a plan first, then email proof of your job, and the discount starts on your second month’s bill.
PureTalk is a veteran-led wireless company with plans that start at $24.99 a month for 7GB of data, plus taxes and fees. Every plan lets you keep your number and your phone and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, so you can try the service before the discount kicks in.
How To Get The PureTalk First Responder Discount
- Open PureTalk’s military and first responder page with the button below and pick the plan you want.
- Sign up and activate your service. PureTalk asks you to send your proof after activation, not before.
- Email [email protected] your professional ID card and a contact phone number for your organization.
- Once PureTalk verifies you, the 20% comes off your plan starting with your second month’s bill.
- Check the discount on that bill before you move on.
Who Qualifies
PureTalk gives the 20% to military members and first responders. It doesn’t list which first responder jobs count, so you find out whether your role fits when you send your proof. Veterans send a DD214, a VA ID card or a driver’s license showing veteran status to [email protected], and active duty members send their full name and date of birth to the same address.
PureTalk applies the discount to all eligible plan recipients. If you’re adding family lines, ask PureTalk whether each line qualifies before you count on it.
When The Discount Starts
The first month of service is charged at the regular plan price. PureTalk says the discount isn’t applied until your verification is finished, and that it applies on the second month’s bill, so send your proof as soon as you activate. The sooner PureTalk has it, the sooner the 20% shows up.
GovX lists PureTalk too, with an introductory price for the first three months and 20% off each month after that. On GovX the 20% starts once the promotional period ends and your eligibility is verified, and it doesn’t stack with the promotion. If you sign up through GovX, read what price you’re getting for each of the first three months.
What To Know Before You Sign Up
PureTalk’s plans run from 7GB of data up to unlimited plans with a hotspot allowance, and taxes and fees are extra on every plan. You can try the service with the money back guarantee behind you. If you have a question before you sign up, PureTalk’s customer service line is (877) 820-7873.
