What are your competitors doing on social media, locally, and via retail solutions to win customers? And what should you be doing?
The competitive environment is evolving, and carriers are optimistic about the prepaid wireless space. Total Wireless now operates more than 1,400 stores, while Ultra Mobile is sold at most multi-carrier stores, and established MVNOs such as H2O Wireless continue to thrive the U.S. prepaid market. Metro by T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless, and Boost Mobile operate thousands of stores. National retail continues to be a factor, with Walmart leading the way.
