US Mobile stops all data after high-speed data allowance unless you top-up at the rates below. Infimobile will throttle your speeds after monthly high-speed data is consumed, but data will continue.
When a 5G handset is used, USMobile data is prioritized on the Verizon network -- otherwise data is de-prioritized and akin to Infimobile.
USMobile allows you to use your data as hotspot. Infimobile you have to pay an additional fee to use your data as hotspot

Also, top up data is a bit pricey at $10 for a 2GB add on if one uses all data in a given month on 10GB plan.
Finally, I have an unlocked iPhone that has both GSM/CDMA capability, so I would opt for Verizon coverage (I've had horrible dead spots even in cities w/TMobile in the past - YMMV), but only iPhones 12 or newer can take advantage of Warp 5G according to the CSR. This was going to be a second line on an iPhone XR. The rep checked my address and claimed I would barely notice a difference between 5G and 4G b/c I have good coverage where I live.
Just putting some additional feedback in the thread for those it may benefit. Thank you, OP.
Verizon will show 5G but the speeds will be LTE. Typically 40-120mbps on any other carrier branded phone or older 5G phones.
I cannot say if any Verizon branded phones will work Warp speed on any MVNO carrier.
You can get good 5G speeds on the Tmobile network on any MVNO. The modems inside the phone are what dictate speed. Newer is better. For the value customer the Moto 5G Stylus 2021 will max out at 300-400mbps on tmobile and a Moto 5G stylus 2022 will max out at 550-750mbps on tmobile. On Verizon a 5G signal will show and LTE speeds of 40-120mbps. A OnePlus 8 Tmobile branded phone can do 550mbps.
I would advise going with the Tmobile network if speed is important to you.

I appreciate your feedback.
Iphones are a different animal. Apple controls all the bands of the iphone in house. So an Iphone 13 or newer may take advantage of the 5G Warp speeds. I know the Iphone 12 is 5G but it's old and the newer Verizon bands would not be on the 12.
It's just something people should keep in mind. I cannot say if an AT&T or T-Mobile branded Samsung S23 or newer would have the same problem with Verizon 5G. If someone has a Verizon branded S23, they would have the full speed of Verizon 5G and that should carry over to the MVNO carriers.
My suspicion is that any non Verizon branded Android phone will not have all of the Verizon 5G bands for 500mbps+ speeds. A newer Iphone should have all the necessary bands for fast 5G speeds because Apple controls everything on their handset. The US version of the Iphone is an all carrier phone will all the bands of that current Iphone generation. It's why you never see a Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile splash screen when your iphone boots. Apple does not allow that.
I have not tested recent Iphone's to prove this is true. It's possible the iphone would have to be a Verizon branded phone as well to receive Verizon Warp speed. If anybody with a T-mobile or AT&T iphone 14 or 15 were to pop in a Verizon sim. Any speeds greater than 200mbps would indicate Verizon Warp speed.

The safe play is T-Mobile for fast speed. If your unlocked S24 is Verizon branded, you should be good with speed. If it's an unlocked S24, who knows. I know that is not the best answer. It would be a shame if Verizon 5G Warp speeds only work on phones purchased directly through Verizon.
If someone has an iphone 14 or newer. That would be interesting to see what speed they get on USmobile with a Verizon sim.
The bottom line is the newest phones on any network will get the fastest downloads because the modem inside the phone and newest radios/bands. To get over 1gbps on Verizon, you need the mmWave bands in the phone. Then you need to be in a city center or place where they have mmWave towers.
Is the Hotspot also international?, ie, can I get internet service on trips abroad?
