Problem statement

In today's world, digital privacy and security are under threat. At REALLY, we're ready to revolutionize mobile networks by protecting your data and keeping you connected. Traditional networks have dead zones and risky setups that leave you vulnerable.

According to a recent TIME article citing a J.D. Power study, U.S. cellphone users faced an increase in service issues, averaging 11 problems per 100 attempts to use data, text, or make calls between April and June 2023, up from about nine problems in 2020 and 2021. Major carriers—Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T—all experienced declining scores in early 2023 compared to early 2021.

With every REALLY plan purchased, you're not just getting a service – you're joining a movement. Through our G.O.A.T program, we are working to do our part to end the digital divide. For every phone plan purchased, we donate a plan to a deserving community member.
