Multi-Store P&L Consolidation Guide FAQ's

What's the actual difference between MVNO and postpaid?

MVNOs lease network access from the big three carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile). Postpaid is direct service from those carriers. Network is the same; pricing, features, and priority differ significantly between them.

Are MVNO plans really cheaper?

Which customers should I steer toward postpaid?

Usually yes - 30-60% cheaper for similar data. The tradeoffs: less priority during network congestion, fewer perks (phone trade-ins, family discounts), and customer service usually through phone or chat rather than retail support.

Heavy data users, families wanting multi-line discounts, customers wanting phone trade-in deals, business users needing reliable priority, and anyone who values in-store customer service for complex issues.
