Our verdict

US Mobile suits US households that want a prepaid shared data plan or an annual unlimited tier, and it scores 9.1 overall for price and offer. The trade-off is the annual term behind the cheapest unlimited rate and a missing multi line discount for families buying more than one line.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Shared data starts at $10 a month on the By the Gig plan, one of the lower entry figures in the listings.
  • Unlimited Starter annual comes in at $16.58 a month, below the monthly Unlimited Flex tier for anyone willing to hold a yearly term.
  • EU roaming is included across 180 countries, a package only 36.1% of the site listings include.
  • Data rollover is included, so unused data carries into the next month instead of expiring.
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers phone and chat as well as written help.

Cons

  • Multi line discount is not offered, although 97.5% of prepaid listings include one, so a family pays full price on every line.
  • US Mobile sells as mvno, while Lonestar Cell MTN is network, so readers who prefer to buy from a network operator have fewer like for like sellers to weigh.
  • The lowest unlimited rate of $16.58 is tied to the annual term, and contract lengths run 1 and 12 months, so month to month flexibility costs more per month.
  • Service is sold in US only, so it does not cover readers based in Europe.

Who it suits

  • Households in the US that want a prepaid line with rollover, so unused data carries over rather than disappearing.
  • Travellers from a US base who want roaming included across 180 countries without a separate roaming plan.
  • People comfortable running on a host network and managing their own plan, since the seller type is mvno.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Readers who want to buy from a network operator rather than a host network, since GETESA at network, Lonestar Cell MTN at network and yesss! at network all sit on the network side.
  • Shoppers buying several lines and expecting a multi line discount, because none is offered here.
  • Anyone living outside the US, since the plan market is US.

Core features

Sim only plans are offered, and eSIM is available, along with 5G, wifi calling and hotspot sharing. Data rollover is included, so unused data carries into the following billing month, and roaming covers 180 countries. The clear gap in the feature list is a multi line discount, which is not offered.

Plans and prices

The By the Gig plan is the entry plan at $10 a month, sharing one data pool across the lines on the account and billed monthly. Unlimited Starter is the annual unlimited tier at $16.58 a month, and it is the cheaper route into unlimited data because it runs as a yearly term. Unlimited Flex also gives unlimited data with a high-speed allowance, on a monthly basis and at a higher monthly rate than the annual tier.

How it compares on our data

On price from, US Mobile sits at 150 of 258 brands listed, so the entry plan is a mid-table figure rather than a headline price. On unlimited price it ranks far higher, at 45 of 173, which is where the value in this line sits.

The company behind it

US Mobile is based in the United States and builds its range for that home market. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a phone line and live chat sit alongside email and a help centre, giving a self service route for plan changes and data questions.

Frequently asked questions

What does the cheapest plan cost?+

The By the Gig plan is the entry plan at $10 a month, with a shared data pool across the lines on the account. Unlimited Starter, the annual tier, is the unlimited option at $16.58 a month, and Unlimited Flex adds a high-speed allowance to the unlimited range on a monthly basis.

What happens to the price after the first year on the unlimited plan?+

The plan contract options run 1 and 12 months, so the annual unlimited tier sits alongside a shorter monthly term. Unlimited Starter is listed at $16.58 a month on the annual term, and the monthly unlimited alternative, Unlimited Flex, is priced higher per month.

How is the plan billed?+

Billing is prepaid, so the line is paid for ahead of use rather than through a contract cycle. Contract options run 1 and 12 months, which covers a short monthly term and the annual term behind the cheapest unlimited tier.

Can I use the SIM abroad?+

Roaming is included and covers 180 countries, a wider reach than most listings on the site. The plan market is US, so the roaming here suits travel from a US base rather than living abroad.

Can I use an eSIM and share data from my phone?+

eSIM is offered, alongside 5G, wifi calling and hotspot sharing on the plans listed. Data rollover is included too, so data left in the month carries over instead of disappearing. A sim only arrangement keeps the focus on the line itself.

Is there a discount for a second or third line?+

A multi line discount is not offered here, which is the main drawback for a family sharing one data pool. The rest of the feature list is generous: eSIM, 5G, wifi calling, hotspot sharing, data rollover and roaming included across 180 countries.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so there is a phone line and live chat alongside email and a help centre. That mix suits both quick questions and slower ones, and the help centre covers the self service route for plan changes and data top ups.

Where does it sit on price against the other plans listed?+

On entry price the brand is mid-table, at 150 of 258 brands listed, so the By the Gig plan at $10 is not the cheapest opening offer around. On unlimited price it ranks far better, at 45 of 173.
