At RSN#MVNO sources I asked a question about sourcing for our mobile phone aricles, and I was someone here might be able to address a technical issue related to that question.
Searching the web, I ran into all sorts of conflicting claims about which Searching the web, I ran into all sorts of conflicting claims about which NMO various NVMOs use. One source says "Boost Mobile uses AT&T network" Another says "Boost Mobile uses the T-Mobile network". Our article at Boost Mobile (United States) says "Boost Mobile is an American wireless service provider owned by Dish Wireless. It uses the Dish, AT&T and T-Mobile networks to deliver wireless services" without any citation I can check to verify that claim.
So, does there exist a reliable source for what network you will be using if you buy a plan from Boost, Consumer Cellular, Mint Mobile, Cricket, etc.? I am seeing a lot of claims in Youtube videos, blog posts, etc. But they never seem to explain how they know which network is being used. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:32, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
