The carrier announced on Thursday its expansion into Arizona, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas.
PlatinumTel is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). This means it doesn't have its own network infrastructure. Instead, PlatinumTel buys minutes wholesale from Sprint and sells them retail to you without contracts.
The carrier's weakest service is in the U.S. just west of Kansas. In addition, PlatinumTel has almost no coverage in Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming and Montana.
Its prepaid wireless plans compete with Boost Mobile, Cricket, Virgin Mobile, Jitterbug, Consumer Cellular, Straight Talk and MetroPCS.
PlatinumTel has a pay-as-you-go plan with minutes as low as 6.7 cents along with unlimited voice and texting for $50 per month.
The carrier also offers a hybrid plan with add-on pricing for texting and mobile Web usage, various text messaging plan options as well as international rates as low as 2 cents per minute.
