US Mobile offers a choice of AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile; Mint Mobile stays on T-Mobile and uses shorter introductory prepayment.

US Mobile wins this comparison for most people: Unlimited Starter, Unlimited Flex, and Unlimited Premium are our top overall, budget-unlimited, and premium-unlimited picks, and each can use AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile coverage. Mint remains an option for a light user who wants 6GB for a regular $25 monthly equivalent with three months prepaid, while US Mobile's lowest advertised monthly equivalents require a full year paid upfront.

Current SaveOnPhone recommendation
We pick US Mobile Unlimited Starter for shoppers with solid local coverage on at least one selectable network because its $199 first-year annual price includes taxes, unlimited service, up to 70GB of premium data, 10GB to 20GB of hotspot data, and a choice of AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon, though it renews at the full price.
The introductory price requires $199 upfront, and service can slow after 70GB on Warp or Light Speed while hotspot allowances vary by network.
Current plan
The $10 tax-inclusive price provides 2GB of shared data, included hotspot use, and a choice among all three major networks.
Data stops after the shared allowance, so regular streaming or other cellular-heavy use can make 2GB impractical.
Current SaveOnPhone recommendation
We pick US Mobile Unlimited Premium where at least one of its selectable networks performs well locally because the $299 first-year annual price includes taxes, unlimited priority data, 50GB to 100GB of high-speed hotspot use, 20GB of international data, and network-switching flexibility, though renewal is at the full price.
The introductory price requires $299 upfront, renews at the full price, and provides different hotspot allowances depending on the selected network.
Start with coverage where you use your phone most, then compare the complete bill, high-speed data, hotspot limits, prepayment, taxes, eligibility, and support. SaveOnPhone lists the full market, and payment never determines our recommendations.
