Biggest MVNOs By Subscriber Counts

MVNO subscribers and carrier prepaid brands make up a large part of the wireless subscriber base in the USA. The exact number of subscribers is unknown as most providers don't make their subscriber counts publicly available. But from those that do, we know that number totals well over 17 million. And that number doesn't even include the number of Lifeline MVNO subscribers that there are or the number of carrier-owned prepaid brand subscribers from providers such as Cricket Wireless.

The following table lists the known number of MVNO and carrier prepaid brand subscribers from various wireless brands that have publicly stated them at one time or another.
