Many wireless users immediately look to one of the major carriers, AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile, when it comes to activating their phone service. However, if you look outside that group you may find some wireless plans that are better suited to your needs. These other options come from the numerous MVNO carriers<\/a> that are available. Here in this post, we\u2019ll be taking a look at one MVNO in particular — Twigby.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is an MVNO?<\/h2>\n

An MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) is a wireless carrier that offers phone and data services using the existing networks of the big four wireless carriers. MVNO carriers often require the user to bring their own phone (BYOP) and offer services on a pre-paid month-to-month basis. Quite often, you can also save some money by choosing to go with an MVNO carrier.<\/span><\/p>\n

What network does Twigby use?<\/h2>\n

Twigby uses a combination of the Sprint and Verizon networks. The primary coverage is from the Sprint network<\/a>, with the Verizon network<\/a> serving as a backup if you ever find yourself in an area without Sprint coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Twigby users will get their talk, text and data services from the Sprint network. The backup coverage from the Verizon network will allow for talk and text but does not offer any data service.\u00a0<\/span>Along with the primary of Sprint, and the backup of Verizon, Twigby also makes use of WiFi networks with WiFi Calling and WiFi Texting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are in an area with solid Sprint coverage, Twigby could be a good MVNO to consider. And, if you are unsure about the coverage in your local area — that can be checked by entering your street address on the Twigby network coverage<\/a> page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twigby plans and prices<\/h2>\n

Twigby doesn\u2019t have standard pre-set plans. Instead, they offer a few starting points, which allows customers to create a plan that better suits their needs, and their budget. Users select how many voice minutes they want, and how much data they want.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
