Excess Telecom and Flex Mobile are part of the same family, but they offer different plan options to fit your needs. Excess Telecom provides Lifeline service, while Flex Mobile focuses on flexible, prepaid plans available to all. This way, we can serve a wide range of connectivity needs, all with affordable pricing.

As an MVNO, Excess Telecom partners with top carriers to deliver reliable service at lower rates. This approach allows us to scale our pricing to your needs, so you always get value.
