A T-Mobile MVNO is a phone brand that sells service on T-Mobile’s network without owning it. MVNO stands for mobile virtual network operator. You get T-Mobile’s towers and someone else’s prices, support and rules. These are the T-Mobile MVNOs we track.

Networks and owners last reviewed . Prices read from each brand's own site on .
The price column is the lowest monthly price for one line that the brand’s own site showed when we read it. Some of those prices need a yearly payment or are introductory, so read the brand’s page before comparing. A blank means we have not confirmed that brand’s prices yet.
Which of these does T-Mobile own?
Three. Metro by T-Mobile is T-Mobile’s own prepaid brand, and T-Mobile completed its purchase of Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile on May 1, 2024. Google Fi Wireless belongs to Google and says its coverage comes “through the T-Mobile network”.
Where Sprint’s brands went
T-Mobile absorbed Sprint in 2020, but not Sprint’s prepaid brands. What became of them is on Sprint MVNOs.
How an MVNO differs from T-Mobile itself
An MVNO sets its own plans, so compare what each plan includes, not only the price. Some MVNOs also say their data can be slower than the host’s own when the network is busy. Metro by T-Mobile and Simple Mobile both print that warning. For T-Mobile’s own prices, see T-Mobile plans.
Before you switch
Check that your phone is unlocked and that the brand supports it. Then check coverage at your address on the brand’s own map, not only on T-Mobile’s. The full list across all three networks is on our MVNO list.
