Cellular Service Partner The People's Operator
The People’s Operator (TPO) was founded on the idea that mobile could be used to change lives for the better. Customers with TPO not only get the best deals, high quality mobile service and great customer service – they can also direct 10% of their monthly mobile spend to the cause of their choice—such as Operation Warm—at no extra cost to them.
TPO launched in the UK in 2012 and expanded to the US in July 2015. Since its UK launch, TPO customers have directed funds to hundreds of causes and in the US, TPO has partnered with a range of causes with missions that include conservation, children’s health, animal welfare and education, among others. Under the direction of TPO Chairman and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, TPO has also developed the TPO Community, an online community to expand the global network of mobile phone customers who share in the common belief of supporting causes.
