Big Guys:
AT&T: uses GSM Technology
Verizon: uses CDMA technology
T-Mobile uses GSM technology
Sprint: Uses CDMA and IDEN technology
Besides AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon you have:
US Cellular (www.uscc.com) uses CDMA technology
Southern LINC (www.southernlinc.com) which uses IDEN so it only makes sense as a Sprint buy.
MetroPCS (www.metropcs.com) uses CDMA technology so it only makes sense as a Verizon or Sprint buy or a merger with Leap/Cricket.
Cricket/Leap (www.mycricket.com) uses CDMA technology so it only makes sense as a Verizon or Sprint buy or a merger with MetroPCS.
MNVOs:
Virgin Mobile, Quest Wireless (www.questwireless.com) and Boost Mobile use Sprints Network.
Tracphone uses everyone.
