US Mobile (Light / Unlimited) review 2026
A real US carrier plan delivered as an eSIM: a US phone number, calls and texts, and a choice of the Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T network
Is the US Mobile Worth It?
Best if you need a US phone number. For a long US stay this beats every travel eSIM: a real number, Verizon coverage if you want it, and a lower monthly cost. It stops working at the border.
US Mobile Pros & Cons
- You pick the network, including Verizon, which no travel eSIM here offers
- Includes a US number with real calls and texts
- $17.50 a month for unlimited on the Starter plan
- Monthly and cancellable rather than a fixed bundle
- United States only — useless the moment you cross a border
- Activation took nine minutes because of the identity check
- Cheapest rates need multi-month prepayment
