What SurgePays, Inc. does

In the company’s own words

SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq Capital Market: SURG) operates as a wireless and point of sale technology company serving underserved and value-conscious consumers through an integrated platform combining mobile connectivity, financial technology services, and transaction processing solutions. The company website is www.surgepays.com.

The company distributes its products and services through a network of more than 9,000 independently owned convenience stores and similar retail locations, supplemented by digital acquisition channels including ProgramBenefits.com. This dual-channel approach enables both in-store and online activation of wireless services, prepaid top-ups, and financial transactions.

SurgePays operates through three primary business segments. The MVNO Telecommunications segment provides both subsidized wireless services through government-supported programs such as Lifeline and non-subsidized prepaid offerings under brands including LinkUp Mobile. The MVNE Enablement Platform segment, branded as HERO, delivers point of sale transaction processing and software solutions for retail partners, enabling processing of prepaid wireless top-ups, SIM card activations, and financial transactions. The company has also deployed its Managed Marketing Services platform, utilizing in-store digital displays at retail locations to generate advertising revenue. The Comprehensive Platform Services segment leverages direct carrier relationships and the company's mobile virtual network enabler technology to provide wireless services to third-party providers.

The company maintains direct carrier relationships and operates its own mobile virtual network platform, enabling participation in both retail and wholesale wireless markets. The platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure and integrates with popular point-of-sale systems from providers including Clover, PAX, and Landi.

As of April 2026, SurgePays employed over 125 professionals across accounting and finance, human resources, programming, customer service, sales, and operations functions. The company targets rural markets and multicultural populations, particularly Hispanic Americans, positioning itself to serve approximately 7.9 million U.S. households lacking internet connections and millions more without adequate broadband infrastructure. The company's business model emphasizes capital efficiency through subscriber acquisition driven by both retail distribution and digital channels, with revenue generated through recurring wireless services, transaction fees, and value-added services.
