AT&T's latest prepaid ambition, Aio wireless, is being prepped for greatness. After the big rollout this month, Aio will offer nationwide service through their website alongside more than 230 stores in Texas and Florida. Executives in the company have talked about becoming a big, nationwide carrier as quickly as possible, and with AT&T recent decision to purchase another prepaid carrier, Cricket, it's clear that they're taking that very seriously. The goal is to compete with MetroPCS, which is arguably one of the largest prepaid carriers in the US, that just so happens to be owned by T-Mobile.
If AT&T wants Aio to be big, I think they're definitely going about it the right way. The plans are extremely affordable, ranging from $40 to $70 per month, and they give customers access to AT&T's ever-growing LTE network. Solid LTE is rare for prepaid carriers, so that's a huge advantage. If they keep that up, I can definitely see Aio and AT&T disrupting the prepaid industry for the better.
