Really is a privacy focused telecommunications company, with headquarters in Austin, Texas. The company offers mobile phone plans using a combination of the T-Mobile and their own Really DeWi networks.
Really was founded by Adam Lyons, who previously founded an insurance comparison site, The Zebra.[1] [2] Really operates a decentralized wireless mobile network started in Austin, Texas and plans to expand its wireless network worldwide.[3] [4]
In February 2023, Really secured $18 million in funding, led by Polychain Capital and Mike Maples Jr,[3] [5] one of the largest seed rounds for a US telco.[5] [2] [6]
In September 2023, the company partnered with T-Mobile so customers could use both networks, providing expanded coverage including international.[1] [2]
Really is built on a "DeWi" network of small wireless towers, drawing on existing infrastructure to provide service. Tower hosts are compensated by the company, with Really handling all equipment installation.[1] [6]
Lyons has stated: "With decentralized wireless [DeWi], the idea is that the community itself can create cell coverage."[6]
The company offers two phone plans, Limitless which includes unlimited voice, text and data and Clutch which is data only.[5]
