If you’re a fan of T-Mobile’s coverage but are looking for a better deal, check out an MVNO.
Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are “alternative carriers” that lease coverage and network access from the major carriers (T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T) and can offer similar levels of service at a lower cost. T-Mobile has a ton of MVNOs that operate on its network thanks to its strong coverage and its GSM network that supports most unlocked phones. This makes it easy to switch and get set up.
T-Mobile now also operates Sprint’s network and many Sprint-based MVNO customers have been getting improved coverage thanks to T-Mobile network integration, as long as they have a compatible phone. As more MVNOs update to the entire network coverage should improve. This is a nice bonus, though many people won’t see this upgrade until they get a new phone.
You can also check out some of the best MVNOs that use T-Mobile’s network.
To make sure your phone will work as well as possible on T-Mobile’s network it should support the following frequencies, though most 5G phones will work without issue on T-Mobile’s 5G network.
3G: 1900MHz, 1700/2100MHz AWS
4G LTE: 600MHz, 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz, 1700/2100MHz AWS
4G LTE (Sprint): 800MHz, 1900MHz, 2500MHz
5G: 600MHz, 2.5GHz, 28GHz, 39GHz
These are the MVNOs that run on T-Mobile’s network.

Altice Mobile
Sprint only
If you’re an Optimum or Suddenlink customer, Altice Mobile might be worth considering. Altice has three plans available to customers starting with a 1GB plan for $14 per month. Moving up there is a $22 3GB plan and an unlimited plan for $45 per month. All three of these plans have unlimited talk and text.
These prices are a bargain but it’s worth keeping in mind that this carrier makes use of both Sprint and AT&T and will likely default to a Sprint connection if available. Still, if you are covered by Altice’s service, it can be a good way to save some money on phone service.
