Deal Details
This new plan includes 5 GB Hotspot, where the old plan the hot spot was extra.
It's prepay for a whole year, so you don't have to worry about remembering to pay every month and that's where you get the discount, because they get their money up front. They send you 2 SIM cards, so choose the one you like. The black card is Verizon and the White card is T-mobil. If you find out that you get better service on T-mobil or vice versa, then you can login to your account and click the chat box at bottom to switch to the other carrier for free. At first they charged me $2, but refunded the money couple days later. Shipping for the SIM cards is free.

Here's summary of Unlimited Plans:
$17.50/mo x 12 mos = $210 for the year = 10 GB premium data & 5 GB hot spot
$22.50/mo x 12 mos = $270 for the year = 35 GB premium data & 10 GB hot spot
$32.50/mo x 12 mos = $390 for the year = 100 GB premium data & 50 GB hot spot

I ported my digits from Charter Spectrum mobil. I got the account number from my billing page and then I selected the tab to port my digits and they gave me a security pin. Then I logged in the US mobil site and ported my digits. It took total 5 minutes to port my digits after inserting the new SIM and re-power the cell phone. There is a helpful chat box at the bottom where the IT tech can help if you have any questions. No degradation in service, since Charter Spectrum and US mobil both use Verizon towers.

Keep in mind they just switched everyone (even existing customers who paid for a full year of unlimited without throttle) to streaming only at 480p. Speeds have been greatly reduced. I am so pissed. I went from cruising on 720p sometimes 1080p watching videos on Youtube to 480p. They didn't even send out e-mails to let anyone know they just changed it. Now they have this data waster but they turn it off daily you have to go in your account and switch it on to get higher speeds. Its just beta and eventually they will charge extra for it (HD). I will never pay a year in advance for any service again! So yes my 35G of "premium data" is capped at 480p!

I've never heard this company, how does it compare to Mint Mobile? Prices are better -basically more for the same price.
Better in every way imo. You can currently choose between verizon towers and tmobile towers but they will be adding ATT middle of July to choose from. I have never noticed throttling of any kind on the lowest plan.

There's some good things about US Mobile, but some not so good things as well. You might want to read this thread before jumping on one of their plans -- https://slickdeals.net/f/17559960-us-mobile-new-lines-3-months-of-unlimited-starter-for-15-mo-45?src...

Some bullet points:
1. They change their plans VERY frequently and do so without notice.
2. They recently slightly lowered the price of the 3 plans mentioned here, but along with that they removed some of the benefits of those plans and then started charging for those benefits as "add-ons" actually making the plans more expensive then they were in the first place.
3. On the one year plans they insist on holding on to your credit card info for an entire year, even though you've fully paid in advance.
4. They were good for streaming but recently lowered streaming quality to 480P (not very good quality) and it appears they will soon begin charging $5 to $10 a month to raise the quality back up to what it was previously.
5. They do generally have good customer service, probably better than most MVNO's. But they recently hired a lot more CS people and I've seen some complaints.
6. Read comments on their Reddit sub. Lots of fanboi's over there, but plenty of criticism as well. Will help you better understand what you're getting into.

how does this compared with grandfathered tmobile plan? I have unlimited everything with 6 lines and I pay about 160 including taxes.
is it worth the switch
In our area, 1000% it's worth it, but to save money. We get 0-1 bars in a highly populated area on TMobile but we get max bars most of the time on Verizon towers.

As a bonus, it's also cheaper. You'd save around $40 a month?

I'm convinced. Mint has been good but lately I'm finding more and more slow or dead spots. My plan is over next month hopefully the deal is still there.

These "deals" have actually been around for awhile. They frequently change some of the specifics of what they include, but generally they've had one version or another of these same packages going back months, so I wouldn't worry about availability. If anything, this post on SD is more an advertisement than an actual deal, since these are nothing really new.

Dispute the purchase with your credit card?

Part of why I said just below, this post should be considered more an advertisement for the company than a "deal" posting.

You can bypass this with a VPN. We shouldn't have to but at least there's an option. Fortunately my pixel comes with free Google VPN.

Is this better quality and service than Tello?

Tello uses tmobil towers & us mobil uses tmobil towers on the white sim card, so both should be same. I have used both tello & us mobil; customer support for each company is excellent. One odd ball thing about Tmobil, is that when your texting, you have to turn on 5g to send images. While, Verizon automatically turns on your 5g to send images when texting.
