Frequently Asked Questions
What is a low-cost carrier?
A low-cost carrier (also called an MVNO) is a wireless provider that uses the same T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T towers as the Big 3 carriers, but charges 50-70% less. You get identical coverage and call quality at a fraction of the price.
How do low-cost carriers offer such low prices?
Low-cost carriers don't build their own cell towers — they lease network access from T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T. Without the cost of maintaining towers, retail stores, and massive advertising budgets, they pass the savings directly to you.
Can I keep my phone and number?
Yes. All carriers listed here support number porting (transferring your existing number) and BYOP (Bring Your Own Phone). If your phone is unlocked and compatible, you can switch in under 30 minutes without losing your number.
What types of phones work with low-cost carriers?
Most modern unlocked phones work with all three networks. iPhones from iPhone 8 and newer, and most Samsung, Google Pixel, and Motorola phones are compatible. Check your phone's compatibility on the carrier's website before switching.
Is there a contract?
No. Every plan listed on this page is no-contract. You can switch, upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time with no penalties or early termination fees.
Will I get 5G coverage?
Most plans listed here include 5G access at no extra cost, wherever the underlying network (T-Mobile, Verizon, or AT&T) has 5G coverage. Check each carrier's plan details for specifics.
