Viaero Wireless is a small wireless carrier that offers cell phone service to residents in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. Viaero Wireless is unique for a small carrier, in that the company owns all of the cell towers they use in their home network. Most small carriers (usually referred to as MVNOs) lease all of their cell tower usage from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint. Viaero has roaming partnerships with T-Mobile and AT&T, so you have coverage even outside of the four aforementioned states.
Viaero Wireless is based in Fort Morgan, Colorado, and has been in business for over 25 years. Viaero Wireless' value proposition is that they offer service to rural customers, and their cell towers are built to withstand natural disasters like EF3 tornadoes. They also claim that their towers can withstand large power outages.

Viaero Wireless has a unique value proposition in that they cater to rural customers, but their online reviews are not always the greatest. Some customers claim they're often charged for fees they were not aware of, while some have reported coverage/reception issues, and also that tech support or getting a broken phone fixed is not easy.
However, likely due to the small size of the company, there are fewer reviews online for Viaero Wireless than you would expect to find.
