    MVNOs seem to be cropping up like weeds. Some are well known and others are not.
    For fun, let's see how many we can come up with in a list.

    For those that don't know, MVNO stands for Mobile VirtuaLNetwork Operator. This is a fancy name for reseller in that they buy wireless network time from and FCC licensed carrier and market it under a different brand name.

    Here is how this thread will work:

    Name ONE MVNO and the carrier's network they use.
    Name only one in your post and leave the rest for the next person.

    (List more than one in your post and it'll be deleted. ;) )


    I'll start it off....

    Boost Mobile (NEXTEL/Sprint)

    Net10 is owned by TracFone.

    TracFone itself uses Cingular (and to a lesser extent, T-Mobile) in GSM areas. They use Verizon in CDMA areas. Not sure about other carriers though.
