Marketing
PureTalk is promoted primarily towards senior citizens, as well as U.S. military veterans (the latter citing the company having been founded by a veteran, even though it is owned by Telrite Holdings).[2]
PureTalk has marketed itself through paid endorsements by conservative radio hosts and internet personalities such as Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Candace Owens, Dennis Prager, Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.[2][3] Levin has promoted Pure Talk as an alternative to AT&T due to it being a "woke" company, though PureTalk uses the AT&T network to provide service and also sells devices from companies such as Apple often targeted by conservatives as the same.[2][4] PureTalk also affiliates itself with PublicSquare, an e-commerce platform that aims to be a "woke-free" alternative to Amazon and other big e-commerce platforms.
