List of mobile network operators in the United States

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of mobile network operators (MNOs) in the United States. The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA), lists approximately 30 facilities-based wireless service providers in the United States as members. Competitive Carriers Association (CCA) has over 100 members.^[1] Aside from the facilities-based providers, there are over 50 virtual operators that use the top three networks to provide service.

The top five wireless telecommunications facilities-based service providers by subscriber count in the United States are:

Largest American wireless providers

Company	Subscribers	Date	Ref
AT&T Mobility	241.5 million*	Q4 2023	^[2]
Verizon	144.8 million	Q4 2023	^[3]
T-Mobile US	119.7 million	Q4 2023	^[4]
Dish Wireless	7.4 million	Q4 2023	^[5]
UScellular	4.6 million	Q4 2023	^[6]

*AT&T's subscriber count includes "connected devices", while Verizon and T-Mobile numbers do not, leading to inconsistency.^[7][8][9]

Each active SIM card is considered a subscriber.^[10] Wholesale customers include users of machine to machine networks and mobile virtual network operators that operate on the host network, but are managed by wholesale partners. The subscriber counts on this page are taken from each provider's quarterly reports.

Technologies used

Four of the top five wireless providers have all standardized on 4G LTE and 5G NR as their wireless communication standards, where as Dish Wireless uses only 5G NR. Of which, LTE has been deployed across their entire coverage area; however, the LTE bands used by each provider remain largely incompatible. Four of the top five carriers have enabled VoLTE and VoNR on their networks, while Dish uses strictly VoNR. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Dish Wireless , and uscellular also sell SIM cards through their retail channels, both in-store and online.

The top five wireless providers operate nationwide wireless networks which cover most of the population in the United States, while smaller carriers provide native network coverage across selected regions of the United States while supplementing nationwide coverage through roaming agreements with other carriers.

Facilities-based service providers
