US Mobile launches multi-network SIM: use Verizon AND T-Mobile. If you haven't looked at MVNO phone plans recently, July 2022 is a great time to revisit. These smaller carriers — which run on the exact same towers as the big three — continue to undercut Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile on price while matching them on coverage.
The latest developments confirm what we've been saying for years: you're almost certainly overpaying if you're on a postpaid plan from a major carrier. The average postpaid unlimited plan costs $65–$80/month per line. The best MVNO plans deliver the same experience for $25–$35.
Here's a quick comparison of the best MVNO options right now:
Mint Mobile: $30/mo unlimited on T-Mobile 5G (annual billing). Best for: T-Mobile coverage areas, budget-conscious users.
Visible: $25/mo unlimited on Verizon 5G. Best for: Verizon coverage areas, people who want no-contract flexibility.
US Mobile: From $25/mo with Verizon or T-Mobile network choice. Best for: power users who want network flexibility.
Tello: From $10/mo on T-Mobile. Best for: light users who don't need unlimited data.
Switching takes about 20 minutes. You keep your number, and most unlocked phones work without issue. The hardest part is deciding how to spend the $400+ you'll save every year.
