Network Description

Sprint and Virgin Mobile, operating under the MCC 310 in the United States within the North America & Caribbean region, represent an interesting case study in the evolution of mobile networks. Specifically, Virgin Mobile was a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) running on Sprint's network, showcasing a business model that leveraged existing infrastructure. With MNC 53 assigned to Sprint, users across the US, including major metropolitan areas and beyond, experienced coverage dependent on Sprint's network footprint.

The relationship between Sprint and Virgin Mobile provided competition to major players like Verizon and AT&T, especially appealing to a budget-conscious demographic. Virgin Mobile, known for its prepaid plans and attracting younger users, relied heavily on Sprint's CDMA and later LTE infrastructure before Sprint's eventual merger with T-Mobile shook up the landscape. The effects of this merger on both Sprint services and legacy Virgin Mobile customers have been a significant point of discussion within the American telecommunications industry.
