I see ads all the time for shit like consumer Cellular, mint mobile, stuff that rents time on Verizon towers and sells you a plan for like half the price.

I'm trying real hard to de-Xfinity myself but the cellular plan is the cheapest of all the major companies. Yes, I know they also piggyback off the Verizon network, but at least they have 24/7 support

Just switched to US Mobile after doing the 30 day trial.

Bill from AT&T prepaid was $65 before tax.

Now I'm $29 total. On their GSM(T-Mobile) network I was pulling 250 down.

how does the trial work? is it legitimately free? do you have to use your own phone?

[–] TurdMongler@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I happened to have a spare number that I wasn't using with JMP.chat. So I ported it over to US Mobile.

They offered a 30 day trial if you port a number over. They probably still offer the trial. I still have a week left and I liked the service so much I already ported my real number over. The trial was completely free.

I ended up having to order their sim starter kit because for some reason my Pixel 4a 5g wasn't compatible with their eSim on their Warp 5g(Verizon), which I wanted to try. When I portrs my real number over I did it on their GSM(tmobo) network with eSim and it worked fine. You can get the sim starter kit for free with some promo code they have listed on their site somewhere.
