Be aware that both the first line and the free second line must be on the Dark Star (ATT) network, and you cannot switch to other networks for more than 36 days in a year, or you will be charged the
full fee. What this means is that you are committing to AT&T for a year, on two lines. I've had excellent service and connectivity from US Mobile on the Warp Network (Verizon), but my free Dark Star line is mediocre at best on my 2024 Razr. Downloads of 4.5mbps/ uploads under 1mbps. That is despite ATT map showing good coverage here.
I recommend that anyone considering this do a test drive on the Dark Star Network first, as it is the only way to determine if it will work for you. Try it at home, work, and any other places you hang out.
I'd recommend not falling for this "deal" and just paying monthly for whatever network you want to try. Only if it works great would I commit to it. If the free line were my main line (it is not, I have Warp on my main line) I would get rid of it even if that meant forfeiting a free line.)

Every time I work with USM staff they are competent, polite, and patient. And almost always get things right on the first effort!
To compare, "US-based" Consumer Cellular is a joke for "customer service."
Very easy to port out. No issues. It's great being able to switch between all three networks, which is unique to US Mobile.
My wife was hesitant to switch, but she's had no issues at all on Dark Star (AT&T). I have RCS issues on Dark Star with a OnePlus 13, but no issues on Warp (Verizon).

Annual Unlimited Premium and Annual Unlimited Starter "Buy One, Get One" deal:
From 6/2/2025 to 6/7/2025 (or until supplies last, whichever comes first), US Mobile is offering the "Buy One, Get One" promotion on specific Annual plans:
1. A user will receive a free Annual Starter plan if the user purchases an Annual Premium plan, and a free Annual Flex plan if the user purchases an Annual Starter plan.
2. To receive the free plan, the user must activate their purchased plan first. The paid plan must be activated on Dark Star and the line must be a port in. New number activations and activations of the paid plan on US Mobile's other networks will not be eligible to receive a free plan.
3. Once the paid line has met the eligibility criteria (a port in on Dark Star) the free line will be available to activate under "My Lines" on the user's dashboard within 24 hours.
4. The free plan must also be activated on our Dark Star network and the line must be a port in. The option to activate a new number or activate on a different network will not be available on the free plan tile.
5. The port in lines on both the paid plan and the free plan must not have been active on US Mobile in the last 15 days. Port ins that were active on US Mobile within the last 15 days will not count as eligible port ins for this offer.
6. The free annual plan must be activated within 30 days of being made available on the user's dashboard. It will expire after 30 days if it is unactivated.
7. An account will be eligible to receive a maximum of three Buy One, Get One deals. Additional annual plan purchases, even if port ins on Dark Star, will not get a second free Annual plan.
8. Once the free plan is also activated, the paid line will become non refundable, even if the paid line would otherwise have met the criteria for a refund. That is, the normal refund criteria (outlined in the section below on the multi-month plan refund policy) are superceded by the activation of the free Buy One, Get One plan tile.
9. On both the paid plan and the free plan, the ability to transfer networks will be available after activation. However, Dark Star must remain both lines' primary network and the lines' must be on Dark Star for at least 90% of the time (that is, they must not be on another network for more than 36 days of the annual plan).
10. If a user wants to move either the paid line or the free line to one of our other networks for more than 10% of the time, they can do so but the free line will be converted to a paid plan and they will be charged the prorated amount owed for any remaining months on the free annual plan.
11. The free line will be giftable (once the gifting feature is available sometime in June 2025): that is, a user who receives a free Annual plan as part of the BOGO deal can transfer that free line to another user (this could be an existing user or someone who is not yet a US Mobile user – they will receive the free plan after creating their US Mobile account).
12. Once a free line is gifted, and the transfer to the recipient's account is complete, even if the gifted line has not yet been activated on the recipient's account, the paid line on the sender's account will become non refundable.
13. If a user upgrades their paid plan from Annual Starter to Annual Premium, the gift line will not be upgraded (that is, if a user purchased an Annual Starter plan and received a free Annual Flex plan, the free plan will remain on Annual Flex even if the user later upgrades the Starter plan to a Premium plan).
Warp --> Verizon
LightSpeed --> TMobile
Dark Star --> AT&T
im looking to get in on Verizon plan.
thinking of getting unlimited starter
given that:
i rarely use more than 70gb of data
i rarely use 20gb of hot spot.
dont have smart watch
dont see myself doing any network transfers
right now, need only 1 plan
is there any advantage of going with premium on usmobile?
is there any advantage of going with visible? or xfinity mobile?
--both which use verizon
in terms of priority data, etc

I believe QCI # is all that matters, there is no priority within a group.

thanks for reply/feedback.
my sprint bill (now Tmobile) went up 40 last month.
8 lines UNL everything
went from ~150==>~190. (tax + fees included)
thinking may now be the time to switch.
V plan ~20/m x 8 still less than 190.
and 2 lines dont use much data at all....so could get them on the att buy 1 get 1 free plan.
issue is what to do when 1 year is up.
juggling 1 line from promotion to promotion is manageable
8 lines ,,id rather not...lol
so the comparable plan now would be the UNL flex? which is 17.5/m?
so price went up a bit?
but they renewed u at the 180/y rate? interesting.
was the 180/y still available when they renewed u or did it already jump to 210/y ?
