Overview
- Radiant Mobile, which drew detailed coverage Wednesday, launched as a Christian‑focused reseller on T‑Mobile with faith programming and carrier‑level filtering.
- The service enforces a permanent pornography block for all accounts, while other categories use age rules and include unexpected labels such as hacker news, piercing, and fashion models.
- The company says its filters also work on Wi‑Fi and can act before a user’s VPN, a claim not yet verified that raises questions about overblocking and data handling.
- Radiant uses filtering tech from Israeli firm Allot, and a T‑Mobile representative told MIT Technology Review it works with the MVNO through manager CompaxDigital as legal and policy questions persist.
- Plans start at $30 a month for unlimited 5G, targeting families who want controls that are hard to bypass, even as experts like David Choffnes warn the approach is too blunt.
