That is an interesting combination. Until a few months ago if you would look up the US rates on Piranha it would show 4 networks. Something in Alaska. AT&T, T-Mobile and Telna. Before they had AT&T the other three were there and Telna and T-Mobile had the same rates. The popular theory [that is, my theory], was that Piranha used Telna's 'network' to work in the USA. Telna has some land lines in Arkansas and that would give it certain abilities a mere MVNO would not be able to have. One or two months ago Telna stopped showing up on the rate searches. Whether something really changed or not I do not know.

If I look up my UK Piranha number here:

I get:Original network provider::: Telecom North America Mobile Inc
That's Telna for those who don't see the abbreviation/acronym.
I know of one person's whose US number showed as Telna also.
