LinkUp Mobile to debut a disruptive new dealer and Master Distributor compensation model at the prepaid wireless industry's premier annual event
BARTLETT, Tenn., July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SurgePays, Inc. (NASDAQ: SURG) ("SurgePays" or the "Company"), a wireless and fintech technology company connecting subprime and underserved consumers to essential mobile and financial services, today announced that Derron Winfrey, President of Sales and Operations at SurgePays, will speak on the featured C-Suite panel, "A Conversation with the C-Suite: The Next Era of Prepaid," at All Wireless & Prepaid Expo 2026, the prepaid wireless industry's premier annual event, taking place August 18-19 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Winfrey will join David Kim, Chief Revenue Officer of Verizon Value, and Daniel Barsoum, Chief Executive Officer of Qué Tal Móvil, for a discussion on the next era of prepaid wireless, including distribution, branding, digital strategy, dealer partnerships, and retail profitability. The panel will be moderated by Jeff Moore, Principal of Wave 7 Research.
At the event, LinkUp Mobile will debut a new dealer and Master Distributor compensation model designed to accelerate distribution growth and drive subscriber acquisition. The launch builds on SurgePays' recently announced amendment to its wholesale carrier agreement, which is expected to lower subscriber acquisition and recurring service costs, supporting expanded operating margins as LinkUp Mobile scales.
"All Wireless & Prepaid Expo is the biggest event of the year for the prepaid wireless industry, and great timing for LinkUp Mobile. Our amended wholesale carrier agreement unlocked expanded margins we intend to leverage, and the new compensation model we are debuting in Las Vegas is built to incentivize Master Distributors to significantly grow the dealer network while at the same time incentivizing dealers to push more customers to LinkUp as recurring subscribers. We have waited until our favorite show to launch our comp plan that has been years in the making and designed to be unmatched in the prepaid wireless industry," said Derron Winfrey, President of Sales and Operations at SurgePays.
SurgePays is a Silver Sponsor of All Wireless & Prepaid Expo 2026 and will exhibit at Booth #717 throughout the two-day event. Prospective Master Distributors, retail partners, and industry contacts can schedule a meeting with the SurgePays team by contacting ir@surgepays.com.
