The cheapest way into US Mobile's network-of-your-choice model — pick Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T for $25/mo with taxes included.

How US Mobile Unlimited Starter Scores
We scored US Mobile Unlimited Starter against the same four pillars we use for every plan. Here’s how it broke down.
Pricing: The Entry Point to Network Choice
Unlimited Starter is $25/mo with taxes and fees included, or $199 for the first year: $16.58/mo — renewing at $270/year, which works out to $22.50/mo. There's no contract and no credit check.
The real question is Starter versus Unlimited Premium. Premium costs more but buys a much larger high-speed allotment, a far bigger hotspot, and perks. If you use modest data and mostly want cheap access to Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T, Starter is the smarter buy.

Final Verdict
Unlimited Starter is the cheapest way into the thing that makes US Mobile interesting: you pick which major network you run on, and taxes are included in the price. For a light-to-moderate data user that's a genuinely strong $25. You get real Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T coverage without a contract or credit check, and a 30-day trial to confirm the network works where you live. The limits are the smaller high-speed allotment, a modest hotspot, and no perks, which is exactly what Unlimited Premium exists to fix. Start here, upgrade if you outgrow it.

Which network does US Mobile Unlimited Starter use?
You choose. US Mobile lets you run on Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T, and you get that carrier's coverage. Pick whichever is strongest where you live — our state and city guides can tell you which one wins in your area.
Is there really a free trial?
Yes: US Mobile offers a 30-day free trial but it requires you to port a number in to Warp or Dark Star to start, and the line renews onto monthly Unlimited Premium unless you change it before the 30 days end. It's one of the most generous trials in wireless.
Are taxes and fees included?
Yes, taxes and fees are included in the price, so the advertised figure is much closer to what you actually pay each month than with the big three carriers.
How is Starter different from Unlimited Premium?
Premium costs more but gives you a much larger high-speed data allotment, a significantly bigger hotspot, and included perks. Starter is the stripped-down entry tier with the same network choice.
Is there a contract or credit check?
No. There's no contract and no credit check, and you can cancel anytime. Support runs through the app and chat rather than retail stores.
Is it cheaper to pay annually?
Yes: US Mobile offers an annual prepay option at a lower effective monthly rate than paying month to month. Confirm the current annual price on US Mobile's site, since promotional rates change. The trade-off is paying up front for twelve months.
