US Mobile
Verizon + T-Mobile MVNO, build-your-plan
Type: MVNO · Network: Verizon · Official site
Our take on US Mobile
What’s good
- Build-your-own pricing: tune minutes, texts, data, hotspot independently
- Per-line network choice (Verizon "Warp" or T-Mobile "Lightspeed" pivot)
- Warp Plus includes 100 GB high-speed hotspot — the highest cap on any US plan
- No-contract monthly billing; annual options for further discount
- Active development — new features ship more often than at established MVNOs
What’s not
- The build-your-own pricing structure can be confusing for plan-sticker-shoppers
- Smaller carrier — fewer retail and support touchpoints than Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T
- International roaming options vary by which underlying network you picked
Best for: Power users who want to optimize a plan to specific usage and don't mind picking from a build-your-own configurator.
Not for: Buyers who want a simple "$X/mo unlimited" without thinking about line-by-line tradeoffs.

Frequently asked questions
- What network does US Mobile use?
US Mobile is an MVNO that runs on the Verizon network. Coverage is identical to Verizon postpaid in any given location, since both ride the same towers and spectrum. Speeds during congestion may be slightly lower because MVNO traffic is deprioritized vs the underlying carrier's postpaid customers.
- Is US Mobile an MVNO or MNO?
US Mobile is an MVNO — a Mobile Virtual Network Operator. They lease wholesale capacity from Verizon and resell it under their own brand at typically lower prices.
- What is the cheapest US Mobile plan?
The cheapest US Mobile plan we have on file is Starter Unlimited at $25.00/month for unlimited data. See the plans table above for the full list.
- Where can I check US Mobile coverage?
US Mobile rides the Verizon network, so its coverage is the same as Verizon's. We have a county-level coverage map at /coverage/us-mobile, derived from public FCC Broadband Data Collection data. Enter your ZIP to see strong/fair/poor/none classification at your specific address.
- How do I switch to US Mobile from another carrier?
Sign up at https://www.usmobile.com, choose "transfer my existing number," and provide your current carrier's account number, port-out PIN, and billing ZIP code. Most ports complete in 15 minutes to 4 hours. Never cancel your old service before the port completes — it usually closes automatically. See our switching guide for the full walkthrough.
- Can I bring my own phone to US Mobile?
Yes — US Mobile supports BYOD. Your phone needs to be unlocked (carrier-locked phones must be unlocked first by the original carrier) and band-compatible with the underlying network. Activation is via eSIM or physical SIM depending on the device and carrier.
- Does US Mobile support 5G?
Yes. US Mobile supports 5G via the underlying Verizon network — sub-6 GHz (low-band + mid-band/C-band) on most plans. mmWave 5G availability depends on the specific plan tier and your phone's hardware. Speeds in the 200–700 Mbps range are typical on mid-band 5G in covered areas.
