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 1,400 stores, while MobileX is an upstart competitor gaining increasing attention, and established MVNOs such as H2O Wireless serve a major portion of the U.S. prepaid market. Metro by T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless, and Boost Mobile continue to operate thousands of stores. National retail continues to be a factor, with Walmart leading the way.
