Is there any advantage to using USM multi-network versus getting separate SIMs from USM (Warp as an example) and then Mint Mobile for T-Mobile?

Was thinking your driving along and they would find a different carrier if your in a bad spot? Not the case?

1. Is Spam Detect worth adding to the Warp Unlimited plan?

2. Will my Apple Watch Cellular on the Warp network be included with the Spam Detect?

3. If I add Spam Detect to Warp and later switch to Light Speed for a few weeks, would I need to purchase Light Speed's Spam Protect separately, or would Warp's Spam Detect go over? And if I switch back to Warp afterward, would my Spam Detect add-on still be there?

4. I read the Dark Star has Spam Protect included without extra cost? If I switch from Warp to Dark Star for a few weeks and decide to stay with Dark Star in the future, what happens to Spam Detect add-on I have on Warp?

5. I read that Verizon Call Filter works with Warp's Spam Detect and that Call Filter is being merged into Verizon Protect. Has anyone here tried Verizon Protect with Warp? If so, do they work well together?

I have been on a By the Gig plan (Warp) for many years now, and my Auto Top Ups are always 1GB ($2), which is what I prefer. But I have seen some mention here on Reddit, which I have not been able to find confirmation of on the USM website, of Auto Top Ups for By the Gig plans now being 2GB ($4) minimum. Is that correct (that current By the Gig plans must Top Up at 2GB or more, and that 1GB Top Ups are no longer possible for new users, or if I switched plans and then switched back to By the Gig)?

I'm just trying to determine if my plan is somehow grandfathered, as I don't want to lose the 1GB Auto Top Up (I'm a light data user, so 2GB Auto Top Ups would be wasteful for me on some months). I currently pay $10/month for my By the Gig plan.

I have multiple annual Premium lines on my account and just ordered the $55 Roam plan. I have not ordered the hardware yet. Received the email for the plan with HW order link but can’t find any mention of the $160 gift card promo anywhere in email or web site, only past posts on Reddit. Can a mod help me confirm my account is eligible? I assume we’ll need to maintain for some number of months before we see the card? Thanks.

I've enjoyed using USM.

But I will be overseas more than I'll be in the US. I've read that USM doesn't like that.

So when it's time to renew, would it be possible to keep USM?

Are we able to activate new pixel 11 on light speed or warp yet? Received my device today, don't see pixel 11 listed anywhere in switch phones drop down. Would I just select other? Thanks

Hi,

I have a friend who is on verizon with 4 lines and wants to potentially switch. He wants unlimited for himself but he said wife, daughter and mother in law don't need the flexibility. what is a good suggested setup for 4 lines where one wants unlimited and 3 don't really need it. his mother in law uses mainly phone little data

I really like US Mobile..the price, the service, the product and network options. In fact, we now have four lines in our family on US Mobile plans since last year.

I now need a new phone (I have an older Pixel) and I've noticed US Mobile has some phone discounts, but always for new customers. At the same time Google FI is out with the new Pixel 11's for free for new customers. AI suggests I should move to Google FI for 24 months to get a Pixel 11 Pro for free...even though I still have 6 months left on my pre-paid annual plan..I'm wondering if any of you have moved in and out of MVNO's like US Mobile for a similar circumstance and if this is still the logical thing to do?

So here’s the situation.
I have (Line 1) with US Mobile for almost one year annual Dark Star unlimited starter plan.

I just ported a new line in today (Line 2) unlimited premium annual Warp plan.

What I want to do is add a second network to Line 2 (at the annual rate currently 50% off) but I want the number to be the Line 1 number and I want that line to end.

How do I do that?

I need to simulate backup calling when i go to india and plan to use secondary lines data for primary line calling. i can not change network selection for primary line no matter what i do - on either iphone 15 or pixel 9a
how do i go about? I tried pixel IMS but i am unable to simulate this in the US as I can not change network selection for primary line

Chatted with support about this, and they assured me this was fine. But seems like because fast.com uses Netflix servers and it's capping at exactly 2mbps, it sure looks like a streaming throttle, which as far as I know shouldn't be happening on my plan.

FP6+ just launched in USA. Is it compatible?

I will be signing up for US Mobile service shortly, two iPhone 12 Pro Max (my wife and I), each with its own line with 10Gb shared data pool.

I am considering having one phone on Dark Star and the other on Light Speed, for testing purposes and hopefully always having at least one phone that works wherever we are.

Any downsides to our phones being on different networks? Are there any benefits to having both phones on the same network?

I see people who jump from a US Mobile elsewhere before their 1 year promo is up so they can come back for a new promo. I guess I appreciate that these people have more time than I do :).

I moved to US Mobile a year ago on the $300 promo. At the time I was paying ... $100ish/mo to Verizon with some unlimited plan + apple watch.... for like 15 YEARS!

I just paid my $390 renewal and couldn't be happier. I traveled internationally twice, and you know what I did to prepare? Nothing. Such a relief.

I'm thankful for the value, the support personnel here on reddit, etc.. I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon.

I have been with TMO for the past four years, and while their service is great, the prices and hikes are not. I have two lines (wife and I) that I would port over and more than likely use Lightspeed as main, Warp as secondary.

My question is, how do you all like USM? I’m so tempted to cross over, cut my bill in half, and enjoy freedom. I’m just a little hesitant because they are an MVNO

Can US Mobile trace a lost/stolen phone via tower pings? When I reported my phone stolen, the police said that many carriers have the ability to track a phone beyond what Google Find Hub can do. The officer asked if I had requested my carrier to do so.

I know that if the phone is on, it is constantly pinging a tower, even if it doesn't have paid service. That is what enables emergency calling and other functions.

If US Mobile cannot track a phone this way, can the parent carriers do so? How do you go about asking for this?

I know that I am actually getting T-Mobiles n41 band with 5G UC speeds, but I would like it more if the actual icon showed up.

I’m on an iPhone 16 Pro on the iOS 27 Beta

I’m ready to pull the trigger and switch over from T-Mobile to US Mobile. I’m taking advantage of the discounted Pixel 11 Pro deal. I plan to receive my P11P, activate it, and then port my number over first and get a feel for how everything is set up and then we’ll move my husband‘s line over. He’s the primary account holder on T-Mobile. We will be getting the premium unlimited plans. Can anyone give me any reason why this shouldn’t work? Or if I need to change the order of doing things? Also, anybody have a referral code they want to share?
