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)

* For [[Net10 Wireless]], I removed "uses [[Cingular|Cingular Wireless]]," because Cingular is not the only carrier Net10 uses. --[[User:Adam Riley|Riley]] 23:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Should we be doing price comparisions here, it seems a tad adverty to say cheapest provider -- [[User:Tawker|Tawker]] 16:18, 16 May 2006

The article really should talk about the success and failures in the MVNO market. [[User:Mathiastck|Mathiastck]] 17:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Back in the early nineties, British Mobile phone service was rarely sold by the operators themselves, instead being sold by so-called "Service Providers", who would, like MVNOs, buy bulk airtime and sell it under their own brandnames. Many early GSM phones were SP locked, so, for example, a phone sold by Carphone Warehouse on a CW tariff that works on Vodafone's network wouldn't work with a SIM sold by (erm, I forget the other SPs) XYZ Telecom that also happened to use Vodafone.
