Radiant Mobile sells internet access with filters aimed at content the company considers inappropriate under its Christian outlook.

Radiant Mobile, a new U.S. mobile phone carrier, began operating in early May 2026 with a "Jesus-centered" internet service that blocks content the company says runs counter to Christian values. For $30 a month, the company promises subscribers browsing that is "without pornography, without LGBT and without trans," according to its founder, Paul Fisher.

The service is aimed mainly at families who want a digital experience in line with their religious convictions. Radiant Mobile describes itself as "Christian" and treats the Bible as its supreme authority in matters of belief and conduct. Its website says customers are not required to share that faith, and the company states plainly that its content filtering is restrictive.

The blocking system sorts internet content into 120 categories and subcategories and denies access to material the company judges harmful, including pornographic sites, satanic content and instructions for making explosives. Unlike conventional parental controls, the filtering operates at the network level, so users cannot turn it off without switching carriers.

A representative of Allot, the technology company working with Radiant Mobile on the system, said content related to the LGBT community is routinely placed in the "sexuality" category. That has resulted in the automatic blocking of pages such as Yale University's page on LGBT topics for users of the platform.

Radiant Mobile also produces "Jesus-centered" educational content, including original videos and children's programs that present Bible stories using Disney-inspired characters generated with artificial intelligence. Fisher has said he intends to expand the business model to other countries, including South Korea and Mexico, with the goal of "returning the internet to God's people."
