US Mobile review

US Mobile stands out for letting customers choose among networks within one account, which helps in rural areas where one carrier is much stronger than the others. Unlimited Starter includes unlimited high-speed data and costs $25 a month, with a deal of $15 a month for the first six months when you transfer a number. Unlimited Premium adds priority data, unlimited hotspot on its Dark Star network and 20 GB of roaming in 180+ countries, at $25 for six months for port-ins and $44 after that. Taxes and fees are included, and US Mobile also sells By the Gig and custom plans for light users. Support is available 24/7 but the service is online-only, and the network choices, while useful, add decisions a first-time smartphone user may not want to make. It works best when a family member sets up and manages the line.
