There are just three US networks that offer postpaid phone service, right? Actually, wrong. Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile have massive subscribers and the largest national footprints, but it doesn’t mean they are alone. Today we take a look at the sixth largest US carrier, C Spire.
What is C Spire, and why have you never heard of it?
Let’s be clear on what C Spire isn’t. This is not an MVNO that runs on an existing network. It has its own towers and equipment; it just has a much smaller footprint than any of the better-known carriers. C Spire Wireless also has over 1,200 cell sites and over 9,000 miles of fiber optic cable. Like Verizon, this carrier was originally built around CMDA technology instead of the more common GSM standard used by T-Mobile and AT&T.
