Contingencies, description		The Company entered into an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Membership Interest dated as of February 5, 2018 (the "PSMI"), with the transaction documents being deposited in escrow on February 7, 2018, respecting the acquisition of 100% of the membership interest in IM Telecom, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("IM Telecom"), from its sole owner, Trevan Morrow ("Mr. Morrow"). The principal asset of IM Telecom is a "Lifeline Program" license (a Federal Communications Commission [the "FCC"] approved Compliance Plan), the transfer of ownership of which requires prior approval of the FCC.

Pending Litigation | Subsequent Event
Pending litigation	Mr. Glosser filed an employment claim against us, alleging that his July 2017 firing was not "for cause" and thus breached his employment agreement with us. Our counsel believes we have strong defenses to Mr. Glosser's employment claim. Both matters are consolidated at KonaTel, Inc. vs. Saul Glosser, Case No. 01-18-0003-2772, with the American Arbitration Association (International Center for Dispute Resolution). An arbitration hearing is currently scheduled for July 11-12, 2019, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Name of plaintiff	Saul Glosser
Dispute resolution type, description	Arbitration
Damages sought	$ 80,000
Potential Outcome of Litigation
Contingencies, description		The Company filed a claim in AAA Arbitration against a former employee, Saul Gosser.  We have alleged that Mr. Glosser failed to honor an indemnification clause that was material to our 2014 purchase of Glosser's former company, Coast to Coast Cellular, Inc. doing business as "Coast2Coast Cellular". Mr. Glosser's defense to the claim is believed by our counsel to be tenuous; however, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in recovering any amounts from Mr. Glosser.  Our legal fees in this matter are being paid under one of our insurance policies.
