dissension89 for finding this deal.
Note: Autopay must be enabled to receive the 100 day free trial. If trial isn't cancelled, plan will automatically renew.
SIM Options: If you have a compatible phone, you can port-in and activate immediately with eSIM. Otherwise, you may opt to have a SIM card starter kit shipped to you for free.

If you know you're going to just dispose of the number after the trial, then free 100 day trial is still a free 100 day trial. But just be aware of possible hassles if you need to port out at the end.

"Line transfers on eSIM must be initiated between 11/25/2022 at 12:01 AM EST to 12/02/2022 at 11:59 PM EST. Line transfers using a physical SIM must be initiated before 12/16/22 at 11:59 PM EST with SIMs from Starter Kits purchased between 11/25/22 at 12:01 AM EST and 12/2/22 at 11:59 PM EST on usmobile.com or the US Mobile iOS or Android apps."
BTW - Not all phones are compatible. I checked with the agent. Samsung A32 and Moto G stylus 2022 5G are not compatible. iPhone SE 2020 is compatible.

1GB: $16
3GB: $41

Looks like the going rate for Mexico eSIMs is closer to $5/GB [esimdb.com] if you just need data.
So, if I can find something similar for less or the same cost with fewer issues and good customer service, I'm all in.

I wanted 2. Although rep on the chat said just create another account with a different email, that did not work. Looks like physical address should be different.
Soooo much easier than in the old days when you had to do a physical SIM swap.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank supersheep
Please be aware of two things:
1. My Visible (or any Verizon MVNO) eSIM to USMobile eSIM port got stuck and required escalation to support, during which I was without my number for >24 hours. There are tons of complaints about this on Reddit, so it seems like a well-known Verizon backend issue. If you are coming from a Verizon MVNO eSIM, please consider choosing a physical SIM rather than eSIM for a smoother porting experience, or be prepared to wait potentially multiple days.
2. Premium data only applies to 5G devices, even if the device is on 4G LTE. If you have a 4G device, the device will not get premium data, and data may be heavily deprioritized at times (like on any Verizon MVNO).

In addition to the cost savings, I've been really happy with their support. Had a free small issues porting in one of my lines, and their chat support via the app was extremely helpful. Also, their support agents are very active on the official US Mobile subreddit. They have been quick to answer some basic questions there.
So far so good, and I've recommended US Mobile to friends and family. Yet they all seem to prefer to pay Verizon a lot more money for the same service.
