About Project

One app for triple-network 5G and identity protection

VLE Mobile is a US MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) platform that sells prepaid wireless service across AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile networks, bundled with Aura digital-security protection. Appening partnered with VLE Mobile to design and engineer the end-to-end product. The outcome is one platform where subscribers pick a plan, activate service, manage lines, and access security features from a single account.

One app for triple-network 5G and identity protection
The Challenge

Single-network prepaid plans that leave coverage gaps

US prepaid wireless is a commodity market where single-network MVNOs compete on price alone, leaving subscribers with coverage gaps when one carrier's signal fails. Households that want identity protection typically buy a separate security subscription on top of mobile service, fragmenting billing and support. eSIM and number port-in workflows are error-prone on legacy carrier portals, increasing support tickets during the first 48 hours of service.

The Challenge
The Result

Activate, port, and manage lines without support

Production-ready in under 6 months, VLE Mobile now runs a unified subscriber platform across web and mobile app.

  • Triple-network access live. Subscribers connect through automatic switching across 3 national 5G networks, covering the redundancy gap that single-network MVNOs cannot address.
  • Security bundled by default. Aura-powered digital security — including up to $5M identity theft insurance — ships with eligible plans, removing a separate $10–15/month security subscription for households.
  • 80+ country roaming included. International roaming across 80+ countries is built into plan positioning, reducing prepaid roaming sticker shock that drives 12–18% of support contacts at traditional carriers.
  • Self-service eSIM activation. In-app eSIM install, QR download, and carrier-settings guidance cut activation support dependency for new lines.
  • Unified payments. Forte, Apple Pay, and Google Pay checkout handle renewals, upgrades, and add-ons in one flow.
  • 2FA-secured accounts. Email login with SMS OTP verification and remember-device support protects subscriber accounts across app and web dashboard bridge sessions.

Triple Network Access

<p>VLE Mobile gives subscribers access to AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile 5G networks with automatic switching to the strongest available signal. Households get broader geographic coverage and built-in redundancy when one network degrades.</p><p><strong>Agency Engineering Value-Add:</strong> We engineered the dashboard to read each subscriber's network type and line setup the moment they sign in, then load the exact billing and usage view that matches their account — so single-network, triple-network, and family subscribers each land on the right screen with no manual toggling or mismatched data.</p>
