   Flanker brands that I know about:   
      
   Bell: Virgin Mobile & Lucky Mobile   
   Rogers: Fido & Chatr   
   Telus: Koodo & Public Mobile   
   Videotron: Freedom & Fizz   
      
   And then there's the concept of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and   
   resellers where they're owned & operated by 3rd party companies and use the   
   Big 3's networks:   
      
   Rogers:   
    - 7-Eleven Speak Out Wireless   
    - Good2Go Mobility   
    - Wundle Mobile   
      
   Bell:   
    - PC Mobile/No Name Mobile   
    - Execulink Mobility*   
    - Quadro Mobility*   
      
   Telus:   
    - Cogeco Mobile   
    - CTExcel Canada   
    - Wightman Mobility*   
    - DCI Wireless   
      
    * These carriers do operate their own smaller/regional networks and use a      
   larger carrier for roaming.
