What is an MVNO carrier?

An MVNO stands for Mobile Virtual Network Operator. MVNOs are cell carriers that don't own the physical infrastructure or network, but instead lease bandwidth from major carriers (like Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T) to offer cellular plans that often have lower costs. This model generally allows them to offer service at a lower rate than carriers that own the infrastructure.

What are prepaid versus postpaid plans?

  • Postpaid plans (most common) mean you pay for your service after you've already used it. This usually comes as a monthly bill summarizing your usage and billing you accordingly. They're great for people who need consistent, full-service phone plans.
  • Prepaid plans involve paying up front for coverage, like a certain number of minutes, texts, or data. They're great for people who want to keep a closer eye on their budget and have more control over their monthly cellular cost, as demonstrated by Tracfone.
