New US Mobile Plans Unlimited Basic Unlimited Premium

In May 2022, US Mobile announced two new unlimited plan tiers as well as new features, perks, plus other plan changes. These updates make the MVNO a strong contender to lay claim to the best prepaid unlimited plan, with more benefits than most other prepaid plans.

New Unlimited Plan Features

US Mobile offers customizable options in its new unlimited plans. You'll find two tiers: Unlimited Basic and Unlimited Premium. Basic starts at $35/month for a single line with multi-line discounts dropping prices as low as $20/line per month. Premium begins at $45/month with prices as little as $30/line for family plans. Plus, Premium adds perks for three- and four-line bundles. Here's how its unlimited plans compare.

US Mobile unlimited plan comparison

Plan	Unlimited Basic	Unlimited Premium
Monthly cost per line	1 line: $35 2 lines: $30 3 lines: $25 4+ lines: $20	1 line: $45 2 lines: $40 3 lines: $35 4+ lines: $30
Data speed	Up to 5G (C-band)	Up to 5G (mmWave and C-Band)
Premium high-speed data	30GB	100GB
Mobile hotspot data	N/A	50GB
International roaming data	N/A	10GB

These changes are huge. Not only are the unlimited plans from US Mobile cheaper than they were before, but its high-end unlimited plan comes with mobile hotspot and global roaming benefits plus perks. As low as $20/month for unlimited data with a huge 30GB deprioritization threshold (or more!) is an awesome deal—there aren't many other plans that can compete with this one.

Family Plan Perks

One of the main benefits of signing up for a family plan is simply the discount on your cell phone plan. US Mobile offers discounted lines on its Unlimited packages where the more lines you add, the more you save. Additionally, the carrier features more perks when you add lines to your account on Unlimited Premium. You'll get one perk with three lines or two perks with four lines.

The more lines, the more perks.

Video	Apple TV+ Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Plus Netflix (standard) HBO Max
Gaming	PlayStation Plus Xbox Live Gold Stadia Pro Apple Arcade

As illustrated above, a four-line family plan will get you a total of two perks for the whole family, which is an additional savings of around $30/month.

What's the Same?

Of course, not everyone needs unlimited data. US Mobile still offers fully customizable plans allowing you to choose:

Your monthly data cap
Number calls you can make (minutes)
Number of texts you can send

Something else that hasn't changed is the choice of networks that US Mobile uses to offer service—T-Mobile and Verizon. If you're unsure what's best for you, US Mobile will provide a recommendation based on your needs and your location.
