AT&T Cell Phone Plans

Once you've decided AT&T is the right network for you, it's time to shop for a plan. You've probably noticed how expensive this carrier's mobile plans are, but don't worry, there are cheaper options.

MVNOs - or Mobile Virtual Network Operators - are smaller carriers that operate on the four major networks. These companies buy space from the big guys and sell it to you in the form of cheap cell phone plans.

How can MVNOs have such low prices? They don't have the overhead and marketing costs of the big four networks, which allows them to pass a discount on to you, the customer.
