It is the brand of mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) Locus Telecommunications, a subsidiary of KDDI America Corporation since 2010, [1] via AT&T's network.

Service
h2o Wireless offers both unlimited talk and text plans, as well as pay-as-you-go plans. All plans under h2o Wireless allow the customer to use any Unlocked GSM phone, which includes phones made by AT&T and T-Mobile. Because h2o Wireless uses AT&T's network, every AT&T phone is compatible with its service, including locked and contract phones. All h2o Monthly Unlimited plans provide unlimited talk and text capabilities, unlimited international texting, and unlimited international calling to over 50 countries. The Monthly Unlimited Plans start with the $30 plan which has 2*GB of 4G LTE data and $10 of international talk credit to call any country that is not on their unlimited international talking plan. The $40 plan provides 4*GB of 4G LTE data, and $20 of international talk credit. The $50 plan offers 6*GB of 4G LTE data, and $20 of international talk credit.
