Pix Wireless, an MVNO that originally launched over a year ago as a Sprint MVNO is now offering service on America's largest GSM network.  America's largest GSM network continues to be AT&T although T-Mobile continues to work hard to catch up.

With the addition of a new network partner, PIX Wireless has also added a variety of new plans.  The company is offering a wide selection of plans including monthly, weekly and Pay as You Go options as well as an MVNO industry first, the ability to custom build your own plan with AT&T as the underlying network.

Analysis

With its weekly plans, it appears that Pix Wireless has done a good job of separating itself from other AT&T MVNOs on the market.  There really aren't other ATT MVNOs out there offering the same features at the same price points.  However, if you happen to need service for 8 days or more you may find many other options available to you with similar service features for just a few dollars more per month.  EasyGO for instance offers a monthly plan that includes unlimited talk, text and 100 MB of data for $20/month which is nearly identical feature wise to Pix Wireless $15 weekly plan except that EasyGO's plan also includes international talk and text.

Pix Wireless Pay Go Plans also appear favorably priced compared to other AT&T MVNO pay as you go plans on the market.

Where Pix Wireless's plans may come up short is with their a la carte pricing options.  Anything more than a limited use plan can quickly get expensive.  As an example, a plan with 50 texts and 50 minutes will run you $5.99/month which is something you can't really get elsewhere, however if you build your own plan using their highest allotments you end up with 500 minutes, 500 texts, 500 MB of data and 150 MMS for $49.99!  That last option as well as quite a few others will likely never be subscribed to by potential customers due to their high costs.  Hopefully Pix Wireless is able to improve their pricing structure moving forward to make their a la carte pricing option a more competitive offering.
