Two plans, and prepay changes the math

Starter and Premium ride the same network of your choosing with taxes included. Premium's annual prepay is what makes it competitive rather than merely good.

Premium's annual prepay is $299/yr, an effective $24.90/mo in the first year and $32.50/mo thereafter. Both plans include taxes and fees. Network choice is made at activation and can be changed later.

What you'll actually pay

The prepay gap is the whole decision. Premium is $44/mo billed monthly and $32.50 on annual prepay: $299 for the year, an effective $24.90/mo in the first year. Buying monthly costs about a third more for identical service.

Taxes are already in. Both plans are quoted all-in, so compare $32.50 against other carriers' post-tax totals rather than their advertised numbers. It's usually worth $3–5/mo more than it looks.

Starter is priced to be left. $25 gets you a high-speed allotment and then deprioritization, with a modest hotspot. It's a fine way to test a network for a month; it isn't where the value is.

The feature you can't buy elsewhere: network choice, changeable after activation. Every other MVNO locks you to whichever host carrier it resells, and coverage varies enough street to street that the option has real value.

US Mobile is a good fit if…

You don't know which national network is strongest at your address and want to find out without switching carriers.
You want premium data and a large hotspot without postpaid pricing: 50GB on Premium is MVNO-unusual.
You can prepay a year, which is what makes Premium cheap.
You want all-in pricing and no credit check.
You travel and want international data included rather than bolted on.

Look elsewhere if…

You want retail support: US Mobile is app and chat only.
You'd rather pay monthly; that costs $44 on Premium, not $32.50.
You want the absolute lowest price, where Visible at $25 all-in on Verizon undercuts Starter on features.
You need device financing or trade-in offers at carrier scale.
You want a simple lineup. Network choice plus prepay terms is more decisions than most carriers ask for.

Frequently asked questions

How much do US Mobile plans cost?+

Unlimited Starter is $25/mo and Unlimited Premium is $44/mo, or $32.50/mo on annual prepay ($299/yr, an effective $24.90/mo in the first year). Both include taxes and fees.

Which US Mobile plan is the best value?+

Unlimited Premium on annual prepay. At $32.50/mo all-in it includes truly unlimited premium data, a 50GB hotspot, international data and multi-network access on one SIM: a combination nothing else at this price matches.

Can I choose which network US Mobile uses?+

Yes, and that's the main reason to consider it. You pick Verizon (Warp), T-Mobile (GSM 5G) or AT&T at activation and can change later. Unlimited Premium includes access to more than one network on a single SIM.

Does US Mobile include taxes and fees?+

Yes, on both plans. The advertised price is what you pay, which makes US Mobile directly comparable to Visible and Cricket rather than to carriers that quote pre-tax.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes: 30 days, but unlike most trials it requires you to port a number in first, to either Warp or Dark Star, and the line then renews onto monthly Unlimited Premium unless you change it. That's twice as long as Visible's 15-day trial.

What's the catch with Unlimited Starter?+

It has a high-speed allotment and then deprioritizes, and hotspot is modest. At $25 it's good for testing a network or for light use, but Premium is where the plan stops making compromises.
