Building on our commitment to connect people with quality experiences that offer the best value in wireless, let's delve deeper into how we strategically position our diverse portfolio to cater to a broad spectrum of needs and preferences. Our portfolio, comprising 11 distinct brands, is meticulously organized into five families, each designed to address specific market segments and distribution channels to maximize reach and impact.

• Total Wireless & Verizon Prepaid: At the forefront, we have Total by Verizon and Verizon Prepaid, our flagship brands available at Verizon exclusive and/or national/retail stores. Verizon Prepaid continues to maintain a robust and loyal consumer base, while Total by Verizon is on a rapid ascent, capturing the hearts of more customers with its compelling offerings.

• Straight Talk, TracFone, and Walmart Family Mobile: Straight Talk, Tracfone, and Walmart Family Mobile stand as giants in our brand portfolio, boasting significant presence in Walmart. Their extensive reach and solidified position in the market underscore our commitment to accessible, high-quality wireless solutions across diverse retail environments.

• Visible: Visible, as a standalone brand family, caters to the digitally-savvy, single-line customers who prefer streamlined, online-first interactions. This brand is a testament to our adaptability, embracing the digital evolution of customer engagement.

• Simple Mobile: Carving out a niche of its own, Simple Mobile shines as the premier choice among authorized resellers. Its consistent recognition as the most carried brand in Wave7 Research's prepaid dealer survey for 36 consecutive quarters speaks volumes about its popularity and reliability.

• SafeLink: SafeLink remains dedicated to serving customers through government subsidies. With a strategic pivot towards Lifeline in the absence of ACP, SafeLink continues to fulfill its mission of providing essential communication services to those in need.
