Verizon might be the biggest mobile carriers in the US, but being one of its millions of customers is not the only way to make use of the network coverage it provides. MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) are typically smaller carriers that don’t have their own networks but instead pay one (or more) of the major carriers fees in order to use their networks to provide wireless services.
Many MVNOs choose Verizon for their coverage and among them, Xfinity is probably the most popular one. So, if you can use Verizon’s network but with another provider, should you do it? That’s what we’re here to find out!
Before we start, however, we must mention that in order to switch to Xfinity, you must first have a subscription for residential Xfinity Internet service.
With that out of the way, let’s get to the comparison.
As most MVNOs, Xfinity Mobile relies on simplicity. Few options that are easy to understand and cover the needs of as many users as possible. Here’s how it stacks up against Verizon’s prepaid plans.
