PERHAM, Minn., Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arvig is set to launch a new mobile service on a nationwide cellular network, offering customers a locally supported, lower-cost option for mobile phone service.

Arvig has partnered with the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative to enter the Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) market, and through NRTC’s agreement with a nationwide carrier, Arvig Mobile will be covered by one of the nation’s largest 5G mobile networks.
