Mobile Virtual Network Operators getting more attention
More about mobility: managing plans, devices, and data. Just as the iPhone disrupted the entore cell phone market back in 2007, the right MVNO could be what any company managing a corporate mobile plan is looking for.
Maintaining a company's mobile plan can be costly and time-consuming. For this reason, many companies are looking for new options to help save the hassle of managing their plans on a day-to-day basis. One option might be moving to an MVNO: a Mobile Virtual Network Operator as opposed to a traditional Mobile Network Operator like AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon.
These special mobile carriers provide cell phone service but don't actually their own wireless networks or cell towers. Rather they use existing networks from other carriers (e.g., AT&T) in order to provide coverage for customers who sign up with them. In fact, some MVNOs use use all of the big three simultaneously giving customers much greater flexibility and cost savings.
MVNOs are nimble, flexible, scalable, and can offer custom plans, custom rates, and customized and specialized services.
Not all MVNO carriers are created equal and just like any other company, they offer their own unique differences.
Some offer straightforward, no nonsense, no-contract, monthly plans with simple packages on your choice of network. Others have highly customizable solutions that can be tailored to fit the most sophisticated enterprise customer with tens of thousands of mobile lines and devices.
Many MVNO mobile carriers offer a plethora of added features and benefits some included with the service some that are optional, but all of them worthwhile to the right corporate clients.
