MobileX is an MVNO operating on Verizon’s network. That means it's a smaller carrier that offers discounted access to the nation’s largest 4G LTE network and incredibly fast 5G speeds.

MobileX provides a wide range of plans that will meet most customers' needs, with customizable limited plans and unlimited options. That said, how do you know if MobileX and Verizon’s coverage is the best choice for your plan?

Let’s dive into MobileX’s coverage and plans to see how the carrier stacks up against other Verizon MVNOs as well as the other major carrier networks.

Coverage information is collected from carriers and other third party sources. This is approximate coverage only and does not include indoor coverage. Actual speed and performance depends on your location and device. Local conditions and things like natural and artificial physical features of an area all affect your reception.

MobileX uses Verizon’s towers, which means it has access to the nation’s largest 4G LTE network. Unfortunately, that also means it operates on the country’s smallest 5G network. You can use the interactive map above to see the coverage in your specific location.

MobileX’s 4G LTE network

MobileX’s 4G LTE network has nationwide coverage since it operates on Verizon’s network. You can see how the major 4G LTE networks compare below:

Verizon (MobileX): 70% 4G LTE signal coverage

AT&T: 68% 4G LTE signal coverage
T-Mobile: 62% 4G LTE signal coverage

Verizon—and, by extension, MobileX—offers some of the best rural coverage of any major carrier thanks to its 4G LTE network. While 4G LTE doesn’t always offer the fastest speeds, it’s still fast enough for most users and is often more reliable than 5G.

MobileX’s 5G network

While MobileX has access to an expansive 4G LTE network, its 5G coverage is less impressive. Verizon’s 5G network is the smallest in the nation, trailing T-Mobile and AT&T by a wide margin. That said, it still offers incredibly fast speeds where it’s available. Our 5G speed testing comparisons have shown Verizon 5G has an 84.9Mbps average download speed.

You can see how Verizon’s 5G coverage compares to AT&T and T-Mobile below:

T-Mobile: 49.24% 5G signal coverage
AT&T: 41.11% 5G signal coverage

Verizon (MobileX): 21.04% 5G signal coverage

Verizon and MobileX offer excellent 5G coverage in and around most cities in the United States. While the coverage map is small, the number of people covered is large. If you spend most of your time in urban areas, MobileX’s 5G will likely provide you with fast and reliable speeds.

MobileX plans

MobileX offers its Verizon coverage through a customized personal plan and two unlimited data plans.

Need A Hand Plan

The Need A Hand Plan plan starts at $3.48/month. It’s a customizable limited data plan that allows you to build the perfect plan to meet your needs. It starts with 50 minutes and 50 texts. Adding additional minutes, texts, and data costs:

$2.50/month per 150 minutes and 150 texts
$1.90 per 1GB high-speed data
$4.50/month for unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada
$4.50/month for unlimited talk and text

MobileX unlimited plans

MobileX also offers two unlimited plans:

The Unlimited 10 plan starts at $14.88/month and includes:

10GB of premium data
10GB mobile hotspot (uses premium data allotment)
Unlimited talk and text

The Unlimited 30 plan starts at $24.88/month and includes:

30GB of premium data
10GB mobile hotspot (uses premium data allotment)
Unlimited talk and text
Unlimited talk and text to 100+ countries, including Mexico and Canada

If you use the entire premium data allotment on either plan, your speeds will slow for the remainder of your plan period. Additionally, for an extra $5/month, you can add MobileX's Gold Network Priority Access that gives you priority data during times of network congestion. If you don't need Gold Network access throughout the entire month, you can purchase Priority Access data on demand as you need it for $2.10/GB. International roaming is also available as a paid add-on.

Other Verizon MVNOs

There are multiple Verizon MVNOs out there, so if MobileX doesn’t have a plan you like, you can still find other options that use the same network.

Visible is one of the most popular options. It’s a Verizon-owned carrier with two unlimited plans. The Visible plan starts at just $25/month and offers:

Unlimited 5G data (subject to deprioritization)
Unlimited mobile hotspot (limited to 5Mbps speed)
Unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada

US Mobile also offers access to Verizon’s towers through its “Warp” network. The carrier is unique because it also offers access to AT&T and T-Mobile, though customers must manually switch between networks. The US Mobile Unlimited Starter plan starts at $25/month and competes directly with MobileX by including:

70GB of premium data
10GB mobile hotspot
Talk, text, and data for Mexico and Canada

In my US Mobile review, I tested the Unlimited Starter plan and found extremely fast data speeds. Plus, I appreciated the ability to switch networks so I could always find better coverage if I needed it.
