Why I’m Partnering With Noble Mobile—and Why You Should Consider Switching
While this may not seem like my usual content, it's exactly values aligned and I hope you take a moment to read all the way through
This may not seem like my usual content, but I promise you it is exactly values aligned.
As a human rights lawyer, my work centers economic, social, and climate justice. A core part of that work is holding powerful institutions accountable—especially corporations that exploit people, data, and the planet. But accountability alone is not enough. If we want a just economy, we also have to support and uplift businesses that are trying to do things the right way.
That’s why I’m partnering with Noble Mobile, and am inviting you to switch to them. Look, we all have cell phones. Why not spend less money, and do so in a way that is also more ethically rewarding? Let’s Address This.
Why This Partnership?
This is not a partnership I entered lightly. I don’t lend my platform to companies whose values I don’t share, and I don’t blur the line between advocacy and advertising. I’m working with Noble Mobile because I genuinely believe in what they’re building—and because they are choosing to invest in voices like mine, knowing full well that I speak plainly about injustice, domestically and internationally.
Here’s why Noble Mobile matters.
Ethical by Design
At a time when most corporations treat your personal data as a commodity—routinely selling it, sharing it, or handing it over to government agencies without resistance—Noble Mobile takes a different approach. They do not sell your data. They do not monetize your privacy. They are explicit about protecting it.
In an era of surveillance capitalism, that matters. Privacy is not a luxury. It is a civil and human right. Noble Mobile’s commitment to keeping your data secure and uncompromised is not a marketing gimmick; it is foundational to how they operate.
Affordable in a Way That’s Actually Honest
Okay, so what about cost? Noble Mobile is economically sound in a way that working-class people, students, and families can immediately feel. The most you will pay in a given month is $50 (plus standard taxes). If you limit your non-Wi-Fi data usage, your bill can drop as low as $30 a month—for everything.
No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No fine print that turns affordability into fiction.
When you break it down, that’s about a dollar a day for reliable phone access. In a moment when the cost of living keeps rising and corporations nickel-and-dime people for basic services, that kind of straightforward pricing is rare—and necessary.
Noble Mobile is built on a simple but radical idea: the less data you use, the more money you earn back.
They are the only mobile carrier designed to pay you to use your phone less. That means less scrolling, fewer distractions, and more control over your time—along with cash back in your pocket. It’s a small but meaningful way to push back against an attention economy that profits from keeping people endlessly online and exhausted.
Money back. Time back. Agency back.
Why Their Support Matters to Me—and to This Platform
Finally, I also want to reemphasize about why this partnership matters personally.
Noble Mobile knows exactly who I am and what I do. They know I’ve spoken out against state violence, corporate abuse, and human rights violations. They know I’ve faced canceled speaking engagements, rescinded invitations, and even threats to my law license (and life) because I refuse to stay silent.
And they choose to support my work anyway.
That matters. Because when you choose Noble Mobile, you are not just saving money—you are helping sustain independent, justice-centered human rights advocacy that does not answer to dark corporate donors or political pressure. You are investing in a platform that exists because readers demand honesty and accountability, not comfort.
A Clear Ask
Check out Noble Mobile using the phone you already have. You can keep your current number. You don’t need to buy a new device. The switch is designed to be low-stress and straightforward. Take a few minutes to compare your current bill. Consider where your money goes each month—and whether it supports practices you believe in.
Switching to Noble Mobile is a practical choice, but also a values-aligned one, and another way to support my human rights advocacy. It’s a way to reduce costs, protect your privacy, reclaim your time, and support independent voices committed to justice and humanity. Again, it isn’t enough to simply condemn the companies doing things wrong—we must also elevate the companies doing things right. Noble Mobile is one such company committed to economic justice and authentic humanity.
They’re doing things right.
In this moment, they’re worth choosing deliberately. I hope you’ll reward Noble Mobile by switching to them, and thus, also continue to support my human rights advocacy.
Qasim, thank you for this. As SeekingReason points, Credo Mobile has a very similar ethic, but they're significantly more expensive than other carriers.
Since you take the time and trouble to reassure that Noble Mobile is likely cheaper than other carriers, you might consider that it wouldn't matter if it was the same price, or even a little more. We should all be willing to pay for a decent and ethical approach. There is no way on earth I would buy anything from (Sc)Amazon, even if they're cheaper.
So thanks again, and it sounds like the right switch to make.
My problem with changing cell carriers is the fact that all towers/networks are owned by T-Moble (who Noble Mobile rents bandwidth from), AT&T or Verizon. So, consumers subscribed to any "alternative carriers" are still paying the big three. This is another example of vertical integration (like AOC's recent yt about CVS) eliminating consumer choice. When you pay through an alternate carrier, you're also deprioritized for usage access so your calls, texts and emails are even more delayed than what you can sometimes experience with paying directly to Verizon, AT&T or T-Moblile. If you need to make emergency calls, this is something else to consider.
Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of being able to get free of this kind of consumer exploitation/manipulation but the market makes it difficult to impossible. Corporations have arranged a lot of gluttonous comfort for their operators over the last 60 years or so.
