Definition: cellular services


Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile operate the major cellular networks in the United States. All the other carriers, known as "mobile virtual network operators" (MVNOs) ride over one of their backbones; for example, Comcast's Xfinity Mobile uses the Verizon network, and Google Fi uses T-Mobile.
