=== Branded reseller ===

Sometimes referred to as a "Skinny MVNO" or Reseller. A Branded Reseller, will either operate under its own brand or co-branded with the mobile network operator (MNO). In most cases, the branded reseller brings a brand, distribution channels and/or a large existing customer base to the table, from which it can leverage its sales. It is often the easiest MVNO type for a host network operator (HNO) to accept, as the HNO stays in control over most of the processes. The Reseller MVNO, possesses no core elements and only holds the means that ensure the contact and relationship with the customers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mvnowww.servicesyozzo.com/mvno-academyknowledge-hub/reseller-mvno-types-and-operationalbranded-models/#What_is_a_Reseller_MVNOreseller/ |title=WhatReseller isMVNO a(Branded Reseller MVNO?) |date=31 OctoberAugust 20242025 |publisher=MVNO.SERVICESYozzo, Allan Rasmussen |access-date=20142025-1231-0408}}</ref>
