SurgePays Passes 100,000 Mobile Broadband Subscribers
Acquisition of Torch Wireless Expands Growth Potential -

BARTLETT, Tenn., April 19, 2022 – SurgePays, Inc. (Nasdaq: SURG) (“SurgePays” or the “Company”), a technology and telecommunications company focused on the underbanked and underserved, announces continued growth in its mobile broadband subscriber business SurgePhone Wireless LLC (“SurgePhone”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

“The acquisition of Torch Wireless is helping to kick our mobile wireless business growth into overdrive. We are now licensed to sell this program in all 50 states, and we believe the warmer spring months will provide even greater opportunities to sign up new customers. We have surpassed 100,000 subscribers since last August and expect the next 100,000 subscribers to sign up over a much shorter timeframe,” said Chairman and CEO, Brian Cox.

“We remain focused on our goal of making broadband internet accessible to as many of the 100,000,000 underserved Americans as possible. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) allows eligible households to access high quality, fast and reliable internet access which can often be unaffordable to many households.”

SurgePhone and Torch Wireless are licensed mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) capable of utilizing both the AT&T and T-Mobile nationwide network infrastructure to provide data and voice to underserved consumers.
