Company profile
researched Aug 2026Popcorn is a mobile phone service that offers one flat global plan: unlimited talk, text and data for $69 per month, taxes included, with no roaming charges, contracts or hidden fees. Subscribers get a US phone number β either ported from an existing carrier through the company's app or newly issued β and can activate service from anywhere in the world. The plan is delivered over eSIM and, per the company, works on eSIM-capable handsets released within roughly the last five years; the company describes activation as a three-step, roughly five-minute process of signing up, installing the eSIM and coming online.
The service combines domestic US 5G coverage with roaming in more than 180 countries, which the company says has no 90-day usage limit. Additional features bundled into the single price include a free second (backup) eSIM compatible with AT&T, Verizon and most networks worldwide, an in-app backup dialer for international calls when roaming networks fail, delivery of bank SMS messages while abroad, and an optional AI call assistant ("Jenny") that handles voicemail and blocks spam. Human customer support for setup and connectivity issues is presented as a core part of the offering. Coverage exclusions cited by the company include a small number of remote islands and territories such as North Korea.
Business model
Popcorn operates a direct-to-consumer subscription: a single all-inclusive monthly plan at $69, billed monthly with no contract and cancellation at any time. Voice, text, data, international roaming, a backup eSIM and the AI assistant are all bundled into that one price rather than sold as add-ons.
Recurring monthly subscription revenue of $69 per line, stated as inclusive of taxes, with no roaming, overage or hidden fees disclosed.
