==Examples==
This article uses examples pertaining to GSM technology only. Yet, 3 of the MVNOs given in examples do not even use GSM. Boost uses iDen technology, amp'd and Virgin Mobile use CDMA2000. Can we correct this to add more neutral information? [[User:Spinfire|Spinfire]] 06:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
MetroPCS owns sections of the PCS band and I wouldnt consider it a virtual network operator. I vote to remove it from this page.--[[User:Wesman83|Wesman83]] 04:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
There should be a paragraph in the somewhere in here about the success of MVNOs in Japan. [[Special:Contributions/67.182.214.160|67.182.214.160]] ([[User talk:67.182.214.160|talk]])

==Virgin not the first successful MVNO==
In the US, Consumer Cellular has been around since 1995 and resells ATT/Cingular to this day: http:///consumercellular.com--[[User:Lance W. Haverkamp|LanceHaverkamp]] 11:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC) REALLY??? WOW. I just found about about them like a year ago. Usualy I hate advertising on Wikipedia and would probably report, but for this page it to only seems appropriate but it actually educates the public to more companies and how or why they work. I thought the only reason consumer cellular wasn't as big as at&t was because it catered to old seniors who used flip phones and didn't use data (and wanted unlimited talk and text). If its like cricket, boost mint etc I don't get how these companies don't dominate the cell phone industry. Why would anyone pay version, at&t or t-mobile directly when its soooo much more expensive, and also they usually charge huge dees were as MVNO's are known for either no fees (and taxes included) or really really small extremely reasonable ones like $1-a few dollars (for 911 calling or sales tax)

== Plagiarism ==
I've [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mobile_virtual_network_operator&diff=524812201&oldid=519803309 removed] a significant amount of text from this page that seems to be entirely copypasted from http://www.prepaidmvno.com/definitions/ and http://www.prepaidmvno.com/definitions-2/mvno-classifications-types/. As far as I can tell that text was just randomly added several years back and has been more or less untouched since then. — [[User:HelloAnnyong|'''<span style="color: #aaa">Hello</span><span style="color: #666">Annyong</span>''']] <sup>[[User talk:HelloAnnyong|(say whaaat?!)]]</sup> 16:46, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
== Advertising? ==
The "External links" section feels like advertising. [[User:Paul Koning|Paul Koning]] ([[User talk:Paul Koning|talk]]) 21:37, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
== Can someone include why the big 3 in the United States do this? ==
I've noticed, cricket and NOW Ryan Renolds new investment company mint mobile (actually uses t-mobile towers). So if the price is amazing, and service is reliable why do the big 3 do this? There undercutting themselves. Is this like a sabotage move where they offer these services to these companies but make them poor quality so customers don't continue using them and go back to the big 3? or is this the big 3 assuming that if they don't have smaller companies that offer their services then those people won't use cell service at all.
For the life of me, I have no idea why these companies do this? there much cheaper than their direct service. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/73.81.154.97|73.81.154.97]] ([[User talk:73.81.154.97#top|talk]]) 06:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Dead link ==
Hi, I noticed a dead link ("MVNO Classifications & Types". MVNO Dynamics. 4 May 2011. Retrieved 4 July 2017.[dead link]). I looked around for an alternative description. Personally I think this page would be a good reference: https://mvno-index.com/different-types-of-mvnos-mobile-brands/ this website looks to be a good content hub for MVNO. Maybe somebody can replace the dead link? [[Special:Contributions/46.21.164.93|46.21.164.93]] ([[User talk:46.21.164.93|talk]]) 13:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
