Sprint phones are compatible with low-cost carriers that run on the Sprint and Verizon networks.
Sprint and Verizon use the CDMA network, while AT&T and T-Mobile run on the GSM network. Most newer smartphones are compatible with both GSM and CDMA.
Of course you should verify compatibility on the carrier website before switching phone or carrier.
MVNOs - or Mobile Virtual Network Operators - provide service on the very same networks as the big three carriers use. The big difference is that MVNOs have lower operating costs so they can offer you much lower prices.
If you want a cheaper Sprint plan, check out Sprint MVNOs like Tello, Ting, and Red Pocket Mobile.
