A mobile virtual network operator sells wireless services under its own brand without owning the licensed spectrum or physical radio access network infrastructure. These companies buy bulk access from primary network operators at wholesale rates. They typically manage their own billing, customer service, and sometimes core network routing, while relying entirely on the host carrier for radio coverage.
