Aio Wireless was introduced by AT&T in 2013 as a prepaid wireless service brand in the United States. Its business focused on providing mobile service without long-term contracts. At the time, AT&T operated both postpaid and prepaid businesses, and Aio Wireless was used to address the prepaid segment. In 2014, AT&T combined Aio Wireless with the Cricket Communications business it had acquired and used Cricket Wireless as the unified prepaid brand. Aio Wireless subsequently ceased operating as an independent brand, with its market positioning and related customer business transferred into Cricket Wireless.
