    US Mobile promised me a $25 rebate because I accepted a referral from a customer. All I needed to do was spend $100 within 6 months. I signed up for an annual prepaid plan that cost almost $200. Seems like I should receive the $25 right? No, they decided my payment of almost $200 was to be divided into 12 monthly payments so the 6 month total fell below $100 even though they received almost $200 in month one. What a scam.

      Been using USM for 1 year and will extend the service next week. I literally couldn't express how great their customer service is. I'm surprised there are even bad reviews. I only started using it for the cheap price but stayed for literally everything else. If y'all haven't had great experience, try contacting them through Reddit; that's what I did and they never failed to satisfy. 100% recommend.

      There are three things that happened here. First, it was two weeks ago on Sunday and my data and phone and text stopped working suddenly in the morning. I was on the way to somewhere and I needed my phone desperately. I couldn't even call or text or chat with them as I didn't have any access. Finally, I got to a phone, a public phone, and I called them up away from the lab for three hours not getting through to anyone. Then later on at night, I finally got to the internet through a different kiosk and I started chatting with them. It took three hours until they figured out what happened and it told me that I maxed out my data and talk in text.

      When I told them I had an unlimited plan, they reinstated it and they told me it's fine. And I told them I want a compensation for not having been able to talk and lose so much of my day. And being, not even being able to call my wife and kids or my friends, they didn't respond. on I bought mobile hotspot data and they used up in a minute so I called them up and they told me that when I purchased the five gigabytes of mobile hotspot which also said 5 gigabytes of mobile hot spot and 5 gigabytes of data. It was either or although it's still set on my dashboard that I have left 10 gigabytes of global hotspot they said I used it up already.

      Just today a few hours ago August 5th I purchased for ten dollars mobile hotspots. I watched a short video and then it got slow again. I'm not even gonna bother going into them. I'm just going to switch service but I would really want to have compensation for all the hell I went through with them and not picking up the phone ever never.

      They do not refund even though I constantly have zero cell service with full bars. days and days I have zero cell service. I can't make calls use maps or data. They cannot fix it. I have spent hours with support. Something is fishy with US Mobile. I think we get kicked off when towers are congested. I have seen others with the same issue on that cheap Black Friday deal. I used network diagnostics and instead of being provisioned it says denied or suspended. They either can't or won't fix it and are happy to take my money without what they promised. It's fraud.

      Been a disaster with everyone in the family since we moved from Verizon. Every issue you can think of with one or another of our phones. Told multiple different things from agents trying to help with the same issue. Very few know what they are doing. If you take too long & problems are still not fixed, they switch you to another agent & you have to start all over. I also had to only use their chat box eventually because the majority have such thick accents that they were hard to understand. I wonder if some of them on chat box couldn't comprehend what they were reading either.

      They would give totally inappropriate responses that had nothing to do with questions asked. They will give you a number out of nowhere and tell you that you can use it to come back and talk to another agent later. I think they do that so they don't end the conversation and have the rating box pop up. A way around getting in trouble, I guess. I have spent days and hours upon hours, and now one phone can't call out, receive calls, or text. That happened after one walked me through changing several settings to fix MMS texts that weren't coming through. My son is losing his job because of this. It has been months. I am beyond infuriated. This is the worst company I have ever used.

      For a brand called US Mobile, it is ironic that all their customer service and call centers are based out of the Middle East with agents who don't speak great English. Chat and phone customer service takes forever (30+ minutes) and the hold message seems specifically designed to get you to hang up before they answer so they don't have to deal with you. Porting my number was a nightmare. And I was promised multiple times that I would get a physical receipt after buying a phone from them. I have screenshots of the chat where the agent gave me his word. I never got it. The phone agent then gave me his word that they would send it to me, but it could only be email. I have been lied to at least 3 times by this company and I'm already looking to switch service after less than 6 months. Sure, it's cheap, but you absolutely get what you pay for.

      The price is good, however, you get what you pay for. I'm on the Dark Star service and I'm not getting the notifications when someone leaves a voicemail, I chat with customer support which takes a long time and after spending two hours back and forth with the agent and trying all the things he made me to, it didn't work so I don't know when I have voicemails. Also, they offered me to purchase my old phone which was in excellent condition and after they received it they said my phone battery was swollen which wasn't true as that was the phone I was using before I bought the new one from them. So they lowered the offer to almost nothing, that's a total scam and my advice is do not ship your old phone to them, sell it on eBay or the marketplace instead. Customer service and technical support is terrible, it seems like they only have one agent.

      I paid upfront for a year of service to cover my kid's Apple Watch. Their service would not work, despite my numerous interactions to get assistance from US Mobile. They informed me I would have to find an on-site location to go to for assistance, which was far away in another state. They would not refund my money and I could not get service. After multiple attempts to get service and assistance, and their refusal to provide a refund, I disputed the charge with my credit card company. US Mobile sent me an email that I was inconveniencing them by having the credit card company reverse the charge and convinced the credit card company to stop my refund, assuring they would handle it directly.

      When I tried to work with them again to get my refund, they said I would have to provide a statement from them to my credit card company to reverse the process, then once completed I could get my refund. They created a one-off "Invoice" showing a wrong device and a credit for my payment, which I never received. I went back and forth with them for months and never got my money back and here I am, almost 1 year later after being scammed out of my money. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM US MOBILE!!!

      I signed up for USMobile before I went on a cruise. When I arrived in the ports where I was supposed to have service, I could not make calls, use the internet, or receive texts until after I spent 14 hours and 20 minutes of USMobile chat time, and 22 emails. One day while I was in port on a cruise, I spent 9 hours in multiple chats. I called but couldn’t get through to their 611 Customer Service number--“The overseas lines were CONGESTED”. One Chat agent gave me another number but it “cannot be reached”. One Quality Assurance Agent recommended that I should call to schedule a call. The only problem is that neither telephone number worked. I could not leave a message at either of the two non-functional Customer Service numbers.

      The USMobile system does not allow their chat agents to review previous chats, even if you share the chat ID. So when you call, you have to explain the problem every time. When chat agents don’t know the answer a question, I recognized two strategies. First, they wait for a few minutes, then ask DON’T MEAN TO RUSH YOU BUT, ARE WE STILL CONNECTED? Then you say YES. Then they answer a totally unrelated question. Then you repeat the original question. The second strategy is that they offer no response for a few minutes, they ask if they are still there, you ask if they received your question, then they tell you that the SYSTEM IS GLITCHING. Then the recommend that you should start a new chat. You get to start over!

      In every chat that I had, there was a minimum of 2 agents. The current agent does not tell you that there will be a new agent. You just see a new agent name on the chat. Then you pray that they will read the previous thread. Although I had shared the IMEI number with multiple agents and supervisors, on two separate occasions, agents gave me incorrect instructions. One agent told me to click on LTE. That option is not available on my phone. After I shared the three options on my phone, and I was told that I should click on LTE ON. Second, another agent told me to click on non-existent link NETWORK SELECTION. When I went to the chat to find an alternative to NETWORK SELECTION, the agent could not access the previous chat. So I had to describe the problem, and share the earlier agent’s recommendations.

      Unable to answer the question, the agent defaulted to the usual response--DON’T MEAN TO RUSH YOU BUT, ARE WE STILL CONNECTED? When I said YES, the agent told me that USMobile does not have service in Tonga—although the USMobile website listed Tonga as a country was part of my plan. Two agents recommended that I schedule a call so that their agents would call me, despite the fact that I could not receive calls!

      One Supervisor solved the problem of no access. When I asked him to describe the cause of my inability to make calls/get texts/internet access, he did not explain. Instead, he gave me a number to call if the problem recurred. I had access for 3 hours, and then I could not make calls/get texts/internet access. When I called, he was not available. As usual, when I described the problem to the Chat agent, the agent had no way of reviewing the original problem. So I had to explain the problem all over again!

      Agents repeatedly gave me INCOMPLETE instructions. With one agent, there was no mention of roaming. So I followed the instructions. They did not work. After going back and forth, I discovered that Roaming should have been OFF. Two agents told me to add the ACCESS POINT NAMES BY adding three specific components. No progress! Then one agent shared the information that I needed to add to: MCC, MNC, APN TYPEAPN PROTOCOL. Only then, did I have internet/text/phone access.

      My 22 emails were plagued by agents who would ignore my questions (how many GB did I use in one month, what is a working customer service telephone number, what do I need to do when I do not see “LTE” at the top of the screen?). They would offer recommendations which had nothing to do with my questions. The USMobile chat system does not include time, so I had to take note of the time that the chat began. Fortunately, I did. That’s how I know that it took 14 hours of chat time over 3 days to get phone/text/internet access. When I described the problem of no internet/text/phone access for the first 2 hours in 2 ports, the agent told me my “phone also needs some time to connect to a local tower that allows for access to roaming”. So I couldn’t use Google Maps for “SOME TIME” when I arrived in 2 ports.

      I had no internet/cell/phone service in the first three ports--American Samoa, Samoa, and 1 port in Fiji. I had 2 hours of service in the first port in Fiji, and 2 hours in the second port. For 1 month, I used 1 GB out of 100 GB. Over the course of 3 days, I spent 14 hours of chat time, got or responded to 22 emails, and communicated with 20 agents. When I finally got through to the 2 telephone numbers, after 2 hours and 45 minutes with an agent—the result: no internet/text/calls! The local network wasn’t working! They gave me a $11 monthly discount for 4 months, but that was only after I requested compensation! There has to be a better way to get Internet access!

      I don't know what happened. US Mobile used to be amazing! Cheap service and good customer service. Now? The worst customer service ever! Once you connect to an agent (which on the phone takes forever) they just space out for a few minutes and ask "Hi, are we still connected?" Then after a minutes just minimize the chat, despite countless responding. So, if you're the type that never needs customer service, go for it! Great deal. Otherwise, stay away

      Review of US Mobile. I used US Mobile for 2 years. I switched carriers today. International travel usually required spending hours on chat to solve problems, including in Italy, Spain, Ireland, and the Caribbean. Generally when I landed. I had no data, texts or phone service. To solve the problem I had to get to a Wifi connection, and contact them through chat. Plan on 1.5 to 3 hours per chat. The problem I had in the Caribbean was not solvable. The offer no service for most islands I also took a trip to Vermont where I had no service. They switched me to a different plan, On a 2 hour chat, I needed switch it back because that plan wouldn’t work overseas.

      A few weeks ago I was told that given my experience they understood why I would move to a more reliable carrier before my next trip. They told me that they would offer me a partial refund of my agreement. But last evening, they did absolutely nothing despite having prepaid with 4 months remaining on the phones. They told me that if I wanted to keep the lines I had paid for with different numbers, I would need to pay again. The supervisor refused to do anything. If you travel think twice about trying to save a few dollars with this company I found it not worth it.

      I recently transferred my parents’ phone numbers to US Mobile and purchased two annual plans for them on October 13 using my credit card through a US Mobile Support Representative. However, the very next day, both of their phones were blocked and their account was flagged. This situation has caused significant hardship for my parents, who are in their eighties and rely on their phones for essential medical and social support.

      I have spent hours on the phone/chat with US Mobile support and sent multiple emails to the compliance department, but have received no response. The ongoing silence and lack of resolution have created unnecessary stress for my family and serious inconvenience. The silence from US Mobile is unacceptable.

      I paid for a subscription to Consumer Reports, reviewed the best phone plans and took their advice about the great service with US Mobile. While you can get someone on chat, they can't resolve any issues. My issues have included: 1) no data reception (ongoing since I signed up 3 weeks ago); 2) wrong voicemail timestamp (unresolved after several hours of troubleshooting); 3) phone calls are placed on hold and freezes so you can't remove them from hold. I just don't have any more time to spend troubleshooting with them.

      US Mobile is a MVNO like all EXCEPT the big 'Three', which means they buy bulk data and minutes from T-Mobile, ATT, and Verizon, package them at a much lower rate than almost anyone. I switched to their service 4 years ago and never regretted it. One issue I found, when switching from other providers telephones, i.e. Tracfone, they may unlock your phone, but they may have it programmed to work only on their network through the settings, I believe they do this deliberately. You may have to change these yourself, if you have any ability to set up a phone, it may take you 20 minutes or so. These are called APN settings, almost all phones can be reprogrammed with a third-party program. THIS IS NOT a glitch, it's something the phone was deliberately set to do from the original vendor to make it harder for you to switch to other MVNO providers.

      I've had this happen on two 'unlocked' phones I brought to US Mobile from Tracfone. US Mobile gave me the program, available on Play Store for Android, and the settings. Both phones work great now. I always get immediate online chat support with agents who have a great amount of knowledge, I currently have the Warp unlimited Flex, which has 10gb of high speed data, after that (each month) it slows to 1mb/s I use it mostly for android auto on Verizon network. You can find excellent promos, massive premium data plans with monthly or annual purchases for what many pay for a month. Most plans also have international calling included. Give it a try, costs very little to see how it works. You'll change all your phones over to US Mobile.

      Tried the home phone service for my mom's memory care room. Support says it's up to me to find a phone that works with their hardware. I've tried four phones so far. There seems to be no support for their product.

      I tried to switch from a regular landline to US Mobile’s home phone service - it was a mess and I ended up getting a refund. In the home phone kit they sent, the home phone base device was different from what the instructions described, there were two different SIM cards with no info about which to use (the first one I tried didn’t work, when I asked for help they told me that only the other one works with their home phone base - then why send both?), and they told me that the switchover from my land line provider was taking too long after only one day, even though afterwards I learned it’s normal for landline porting to take at least a week. It seemed like they didn’t have a clue about the differences between switching from landline to cellular, vs their bread and butter business of switching between cellular providers.

      The only good things I can say are 1) they were always quick to send updates and reply to email and chat, even though their info was often either unhelpful or wrong, and 2) when I realized they were clueless and I asked for a refund, they did it quickly without a fuss. I’m going to try the Ooma home phone system instead; it’s cheaper for the basic plan, and home phone is Ooma’s main business instead of a sideline. The main technical difference is Ooma’s base device needs an internet connection (and you can also use their service from your smartphone), but the US mobile base has a cellular connection (and only works at home).

      I swapped from Verizon to US Mobile on 8/4. I was paying around $200/month on average. If you take out the value of the freebies it was around $160. I was able to get the same freebies on black Friday sales for around $13/mo and my new bill for 4 likes still on Verizon is $66/mo. I brought my own devices and got the starter kits mailed to my house.

      Overall I'm saving about $80/mo and I've noticed no difference in service. My wife can teleport between networks which is cool because sometimes Verizon can be spotty out in the middle of the country and At&t and T-Mobile sometimes have faster download speeds in cities in my experience. I've had to deal with customer service twice in 8 months. Once was to fix an activation issue with an esim, took about 10 minutes from complaint to solved and a customer service rep answered faster than Verizon business. The second time was to ask for another free trial for my device because I cancelled an order and it "used" my free trial. Again, about 10 minutes total and they hooked it up. 3 free months is a no brainer, and I was so stubborn about switching and how it would be a hassle. I couldn't have been more wrong. They do a great job.

      I had this US Mobile service for three years and only had two lockouts and fixed immediately. The people are sooo nice and helpful not like what you read on this site, they must have a personality crisis problem. I only use 1 or 2 Gigs monthly on my S10 Sam so I don't slobber on the cell phone all day. Love my monster desktop computer, it blows away that Dick Tracy's cell phone toy. If you slobber all day on data you may need to use other Mint Mobile etc. sevices for life support. Good lucky !!!

      My phone (Asus Zenfone 11 Ultra) was not compatible with the networks provided. There was no indication that my phone wouldn't work on the chosen network until I spent hours on the line with customer service. Their solution was switching me to a deprioritized phone network, but I'm still paying the same amount I would have for access to their prioritized data network. I wish I had never switched.

      Don't waste your time or money. Many issues. Checked to see if my 2022 Motorola Stylus (4G) phone was compatible for their top plan which gave "Free Teleports" between their 3 networks (Warp, Lite, Darkstar) which are the At&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon towers. Signed up and paid for a full year only to find that "free teleports" are limited to phones that are compatible with e-sim, which mine is not. The solution? I had to BUY physical SIM cards to use each time I needed to teleport.

      When I ordered a bunch of cards because I planned to be traveling a lot, they put a hold on my order and had to verify something - made me feel like I was doing something wrong. Also, teleporting requires you to have wi-fi access of some sort. It seemed great that the plan included 100G data and 50G of hotspot, however the hotspot only works well for the first 10G. Also, I have to constantly lift my phone up and aim it toward the nearest tower where I live and that was after trying all three networks (and burning up those cards that I had to BUY) and finding which one was best of the three, but all three are bad. So if you're even a little bit out of town or near any sort of interference, good luck with this service. I feel like this company launched something with big promises before actually fully testing it. Big disappointment and money that could have been better used elsewhere. Will not be renewing my service.

      Good luck trying to sign up with US Mobile.. I tried the website and the app several times. They are terrible. It would not accept the information I was entering. It was full of glitches. I tried to enter my information several times, but it would not accept it. I feel if it is this hard getting us mobile to accept my money, how bad will their service be after they get my money. I'm sticking with my current cell phone provider. Don't need the us mobile headache.

      I was sent a sim card. I activated it. I do not watch videos a lot or stream. My data was used up right away. Over 30 gb. 10 GB in one day was used. I was receiving phishing text and calls. My phone number when seen on caller idea was under the name "Carlos.". It was supposed to be under my name. I was scammed from the beginning. My battery on my phone drained within an hour. Websites wouldn't work correctly because my service was hacked. I'm angry about it. It's wrong to pay for three months of service and have a scammer using your data. I went back to Mint Mobile. Right away my phone acted normal. The caller idea no longer had Carlos name on it. Save yourself and don't get US Mobile.

      Spent several days and hours with agents live chatting about their plans. Confirmed the plan I wanted was the final price with features I wanted. Confirmed it would work with the phone I wanted to buy. Bought the phone. 5 days later phone arrives. I livechat them again to activate it. Suddenly that plan no longer exists.. but here's the kicker... they claimed it NEVER existed. I literally sent the past agent a link to the live and active site and he confirmed everything only days prior. So I ask this current agent if he can see a lengthy record of my many chats from last week.

      There is no record, apparently. How convenient. Agent says this plan never existed. So I send current agent the link to the Google search that still shows said plan as being active. Agent now says Google's information is very outdated. Fine, whatever. I literally purchased a phone based on a plan their website offered and their agent confirmed. Now said plan either 1) Never existed or 2) hasn't been offered in years (despite me seeing it on their actual website less than a week prior and 3) Google's link that took me to their official webpage with said plan less than a week prior is "very outdated". I felt like I was taking crazy pills. Was Being gaslighted or are they really this incompetent?

      So finaly I speak to a supervisor and say I'm willing to prepay the full year right now and I am not a heavy user, will you please just adjust the price for the misunderstanding this once so I can become a new user?" Nope. We don't do that. So now I have the plan I want. Because I went to a more trustworthy company that honors their word. I suggest you do too.

      We purchased their light plan (1gb data) with Unlimited Talk and Text. My husband stopped receiving texts (even basic texts from his mom) and pictures, it just shows a circle rotating non-stop. When I contact customer service, they agreed that Data was needed to send SMS messages... I asked for where it says that prior to signing up because clearly that would make text *not* unlimited considering you need Data (1gb per the plan) to send/receive SMS messages. He could not provide this. We paid for a year in advance and he refused to refund us. He said it was in their refund policy. I asked for a copy of the refund policy and none of the exclusions applied to our situation. He just continued to apologize and say it was out of his hands. He couldn't refund us. Even though we paid for a service we didn't receive. I would not recommend this scam company.

      US Mobile has held my number hostage for days. I brought my number to US Mobile a week ago and they have not yet activated it. The only explanation given is that they are having technical delays. They keep extending the delay time by 72 hours every day. They treat me very rudely and no one seems to care that I have lost touch with my family and lost opportunities for work. Now, if I try to leave during this process, I could lose my number for good. They have offered me no other recourse and zero customer service. BEWARE of US Mobile. Do yourself a favor and use a different service.

I have 56 pages of transcript trying to get these problems resolved. No luck. Did I say 56 pages?? I tried hard to work with them but it was impossible. I will never buy from US Mobile again. There are otjher MVNO's that are honest and more reliable. Mint Mobile is one. I now use Mint Mobile. A wonderful provider. No problems, unlike with US Mobile.

      1st off they do NOT have a money back guarantee unless the phone has a physical issue. They also ADVERTISE that they offer free 30 day trials, but the catch is you have to be transferring in your old number. That isn't immediately shared with you. Their phone is a NUU A11L. I've never heard of NUU, but I was desperate. The big draw to this company is that they have 24-7 phone customer service. That's better than even T-Mobile. It's what drew ME in. The phone itself is kinda flimsy and the back comes off with just a good fingernail pressure. I'm not sure I like that type of phone structure. The male customer service reps sadly seem to be more techy than the women, because of the 17 calls I've had with these people in the last 3 days, 11 have been women and they would never my questions directly, they always had to put me on hold forever.

      The guys answered immediately and the answers made sense, and actually the last guy got my service actually working after only 4 minutes! I only pay $10/mo and probably will drop them when my Lifeline service, which I just got approved for gets set up. ALSO, for some odd reason, they take FOREVER to port your old number, which probably explains, why they advertise free trials and gift card giveaways for people who SUCCESSFULLY do number transfers! Buyer Beware! You get what you pay for.
