Asda Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in the UK, operated by Asda, by 2p/min and 2p/text, however is 60p/MB more expensive for Internet use. Asda Mobile does not provide an unlocking service, nor does it supply.
Only GSM Cell phone's operating on the AT&T frequency will work. PureTalk is an AT&T MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) which basically means they are an AT&T service reseller, buying the service in bulk and setting their own fees. Network access/speed wouldn't be compromised because it would still be AT&T.
Straight Talk is an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), which means that don't use their own towers - rather they "lease" service from a couple other of the nation's leading service providers. Tracfone wireless piggybacks on all four of the major carriers, depending on what phone you use. GSM: AT&T, T-Mobile CDMA:Verizon,Sprint
Helio began as a joint venture between Earthlink and SK Telecom. Earthlink has divested itself from the partnership and it is now owned and operated by SK Telecom. (The previous answer here indicated that Sprint owned 1/3 of Helio, which is incorrect). Helio is an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that uses the Sprint Network. You cannot activate Helio phones with Sprint directly.
As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), Straight Talk doesn't own its own network but rather leases service from AT&T and T-Mobile for GSM phones, and Sprint and Verizon for CDMA phones. This means that Straight Talk customers get service everywhere cellular service is available.
If your Service Provider does not have adequate coverage in your circle (Eg. Mumbai) then it may tie-up with some other operator within the same circle which would allow you to use its network in the areas of low coverage. Thus a subscriber of operator 'A' would be latched onto the network of operator 'B' within the same circle. This is intra-Circle roaming. The MVNO's also use a similar concept of infrastructure sharing. In near future, operators might start sharing the 3G infrastructure on the similar concept to allow 3G services to its customers (for the operators which do not have 3G spectrum in that particular circle) Sanket Angane (Telecom Engineer)

Consumer Cellular operates as an MVNO on AT&T's network, thus you can use any AT&T compatible phone with Consumer Cellular's SIM card, even if its not unlocked (yes, even the iPhone's). If you want to use a T-Mobile phone or another GSM phone that's not from AT&T, you will need to get it unlocked. CDMA phones (Verizon/Sprint/MetroPCS/etc) are not compatible as they do not use GSM or SIM cards. Say, "YES ! ! !" to an MVNO... Consumer Cellular is an especially GREAT way for a family $AVE and share minutes with smartphones on the AT&T network (2nd largest in the USA)...Even if you need to pay early termination fees (ETF), your savings will rapidly pay for a switch...My family of 4 all has iPhones (Any AT&T phone will work) and with 5% AARP discount (available to people of any age) our total monthly bill, including taxes, is just under $100. We easily share 1,000 minutes and 10,000 texts and 2GB data. Chase Ink Business credit card offers another 5% off as cash back for internet, cable and cell phone charges, so my total cost is under $95 per month including taxes...Consumer Cellular also offers a $10 referral credit to me and $10 to you if you let them know Jamey Wagner 805-637-ate744 referred you.
