About Validas

Putting Information in Your Hands to Slash Wireless Expenses

Validas cuts through the confusion that wireless bills and rate plans create to get consumers, businesses, and government agencies more from every dollar they spend on wireless services. On average we save our customers more than 19% per month by "right sizing" rate plans; identifying and resolving disputes; and eliminating unnecessary charges.

Empowering Products, Improving Traffic, and Driving Loyalty

Customers have used our product successfully to generate web traffic and media attention; to improve their product offerings; and to generate customer loyalty. Our goal is to make "Powered By Validas" the industry standard for wireless bill analysis and plan recommendations.

Simple, Powerful, Automated, and Secure

Our platform does exactly what it was designed to do – analyze wireless bills, empower customers, and slash monthly expenses. It turns complex wireless bill audits into a point-and-click experience measured in seconds. It is simple to use, provides powerfully accurate results, and keeps customer data safe and secure.

True to Our Name, Loyal to Our Customers

The name Validas derives from several ideas.

It sounds like "Validate" which is the core of what we do for our customer’s wireless bills. We validate whether bills are accurate and find plan mismatches and errors to save them money.

It means "powerful" in Latin and Spanish. Our message, technology, and the information we provide is powerful and we empower our customers to understand how they use their wireless services and how they spend every cent for them.

It relates to "veritas" which means truth. From the beginning our goal has been to put truth in wireless billing by delivering accurate and detailed information into our customer’s hands.

Validas is a privately funded company, founded by former wireless executives who wanted to do more for their customers. We are committed to taking care of people and staying true to our core objectives – simplifying, serving, and saving money.
