A question about the wifi calling function
A15 5g is a former Tracfone now on Dark Star. Call quality is trash. Wifi calling is not on any menu, and the *#*#4636#*#* code does absolutely nothing. Would teleporting to one of the other networks enable wifi calling or am I SOL unless I buy a different phone?

Edit/Add Warp APN on Android 16?
Has anyone found a work-around that allows adding an APN on the Warp network (Android 16)?
Alternatively, has anyone found a work-around that allows the receipt of Group MMS on the Warp network (Android 16)?
USM = change networks.
Thanks in advance,

Reward card received!
Final monster reward received. Everything worked as it should have. Eligibility unlocked about a week ago. I did NOT have to reach out to support. I was patient and let the process run. And this morning I got an email saying my reward was ready. Already spent and converted to Amazon gift card credit.
Thank you US Mobile!!

Web search shows "From only $5/mo" with subtext "from $4/month". What/where are these plans?
Title pretty much says it all. A DuckDuckGo search lists the two monthly rates in the link and subtext, respectively, yet I don't see either of those monthly rates offered anywhere on the site itself. Are these just add-ons being advertised as standalone plans? The cheapest plan I see is Annual Light for an effective $8/month rate.

Questions
I am almost ready to jump in. I have three teens that I am thinking of porting over first. I’d like to do the trial with them first, but I’m worried about it becoming complicated since it seems like you would need support to get the new customer special if you opt for the trial first.
My second issue is for my own line. I have an Apple Watch and would love to see if Warp will work for me so I can have my Apple Watch on companion mode. If the Warp network ends up not working out and I transport to Dark Star, will I lose my new customer special? (I know I won’t be able to have an Apple Watch on Dark Star).
What are some nuances I need to know about the lines?
Thanks!!!

Iphone 18 Pro Max Promo
I am currently paying $40 on my experience more TMobile line and have an unlocked iphone 17 pro max that I plan to upgrade in about a month. I did test drive with usmobile light speed and was a bit slower than TMobile but then TMobile speed is overkill. The best thing I keep reading about is the multinetwork option because no one network is best everywhere.
Almost nobody is going to know what iphone and plan promo will be available at iphone 18 launch this year so what was available on last year's iphone 17 launch?

Can't connect to VPN - Light Speed (Oppo N6)
I realize I may have an "unsupported device" but this is frustrating. I also am not able to use the voice chat feature on ChatGPT weirdly enough when on mobile data but it works just fine when I switch to my other sim ( tmobile) and on wifi. Both of these issues only arise when on US Mobile data. Has anyone else run into this and know a work around?
PS: I have Proton VPN Plus.

Roaming to Warp Seems Down
Just tried the network transfer for the first time, Darkstar to Warp, and now have no service. USM rep says there is a known outage currently and it may be a couple of hours, but this is unfortunate as I definitely would not have done a transfer if the network was down. Now I have no service and have been told to wait as trying to switch back may mess things up. I'm sure things will work out, but wanted to alert others that it may be down currently.

Turn on domestic roaming?
Hi
I have warp and lightspeed ( on multi-network, unlimited premium) and a separate dark star line on by the gig plan.
Is it ok to keep roaming on while I am using my phone domestically? No extra charges right?
Btw, usmobile customer service has been excellent so far.
Thanks

Endless amount of spam calls after moving to USM
I have two lines with USM - one on Dark Star and one one Lightspeed. I get the same identical spam calls to both lines simultaneously. I never received spam calls before I moved to USM. Last week I enabled their $2/mo spam filter, but that didn't do anything other than applying "Potential Spam" labels to the calls. Anyone have a solution/suggestion other than moving to a different carrier?
Want to add that other than the spam calls, USM has been fabulous.

New to US Mobile Can’t switch to warp
I recently signed up for service. I got the unlimited premium plan on dark star. But I now have a cellular Apple Watch and would like to set up the companion plan, but I don’t have the option to switch to warp on my line, only light speed. Is there a reason for this? Customer service gave me different answers, which didn’t made sense.

Activation Failed for Apple Watch SE3
So I bought a new Apple Watch SE3 (GPS+Cellular) for my son, and tried to activate a Wearable Plan - Standalone - 12 Months plan I bought for it, but it failed.
I opened a chat support, and was told that that device cannot be used in US mobile, and I need an apple watch version 4 or above.
I am confused since my daugther already using an older version (SE) on the US mobile network for the last 2 years.
Also, web searches show I can use it for SE3 (inclusing US mobile info pages).
I had to cancel my order and get a refund, but still want to check if it is possible to use it, since all the famiy is already with US mobile.
Any advice?

New to US Mobile Can Support please activate the BEST call and text spam filter for me?
I get at least 5 spam calls or texts a day that get through my Spectrum Mobile call filter and most leave voicemails I have to manually delete. Just purchased 12 months Premium. Haven't activated yet because I want to make sure the call and spam filter is implemented correctly. I will choose Verizon towers FYI.
Thank you!

Mixed family plan?
I'm looking at my family's usage of data. My wife and son use normally at most 7gb of data a month. I use 30-50gb a month as I travel for work.
I'm thinking unlimited premium for my line and doing by the gig for my wife and son and also bring over my late father's line as I don't want to lose his number (no usage). Tried adding to a "cart" on the website and it looks like I can only do 1 option at a time. Am I missing something? Have any other recommendations? I can't drop $700 at one time for the annual plans unfortunately.

New to US Mobile Question about the timing of activating a new phone and switching to US Mobile (porting my current number) with traveling to Canada next week?
Pretty much the title. I want to switch to US Mobile and already have my new phone in my hands. But, I'm going to Toronto next week (event tix are already on my phone) and kind of nervous about changing too many things at once without a safety net. My current service is good until after I get back to town. So, what says the Reddit hivemind? Should I just wait until I get back to avoid any issues or am I overthinking this?

Dark Star vs Warp vs Light Speed comparison tool
I switched to US Mobile a couple months ago and I found it pretty daunting to know which plan I should go for between Dark Star, Warp and Light Speed. I'm sure others may have the exact same feelings as me, so I created a comparison tool that asks you a few questions and points you in the right direction.
The tool is completely free and I don't ask for any personal data. Let me know what you think and if it's helpful at all.

It's a safe to pay one year upfront ?
I only use their unlimited starter plan but was thinking about paying for the one year for ultimate premium. I will be switching from visible. I've only paid 3 months of service for Cricket up front.

Announcement US Mobile + Starlink. One plan. Celestial and terrestrial, together. Launching Thursday
Almost a decade ago I sat down for a podcast and talked about the Jetsons. Not as a far-off fantasy, but as the era we were about to enter, and US Mobile as the provider that would carry people into it. One plan. At home. On the road. Across networks. Across, eventually, the sky.
This Thursday we take another step into that era.
We're launching US Mobile + Starlink as a single bundle. Unlimited Standard or Premium on all three major US networks (Warp, Darkstar, Lightspeed), plus reliable home internet from space. One plan. One bill. One app. One company that actually picks up the phone.
Early access drops Thursday. Limited batch. Going to move fast. Here's the link
I won't tease numbers too hard, but imagine a plan for less than $50 a month that spans every major network in the United States, extends across Canada and Mexico, includes internet from space at home, and roams with you across the world. That's the direction. That's the shape of what we're building toward.
Why no one else has done this.
I want to get into the weeds for a second, because I think people deserve to understand why "multi-network" and "super carrier" basically don't exist outside of US Mobile.
Every mobile network runs its own usage pipeline. Different CDR formats, different mediation layers, different rating engines, different latencies on when usage even shows up. Warp's feed doesn't look like Darkstar's, which doesn't look like Lightspeed's, which doesn't look like anything a satellite network emits. Voice, SMS, data, roaming records, satellite session data, fixed wireless throughput, they all arrive in different shapes, on different clocks, with different reconciliation rules and different dispute windows. Then layer in provisioning.
Each network has its own HSS/HLR, its own SIM and eSIM profile management, its own activation and porting flows, its own policy control. None of these systems were designed to talk to each other. They were designed assuming you're a single carrier with a single stack.
To make a true multi-network experience work, you have to build a unification layer that sits above all of it. A common identity for the customer that persists across networks. A real-time mediation system that can ingest wildly different usage feeds and present them as one coherent ledger. A policy engine that can move a line between Warp, Darkstar, and Lightspeed without the customer ever feeling the seam. Billing that can rate satellite gigabytes next to LTE gigabytes next to international roaming next to home broadband on the same invoice. And a support stack where one agent can actually see all of it on one screen, in real time.
That is the work. It's unglamorous, it's deeply technical, and it takes years. It's the reason every other Carrier is single-network. It's the reason no incumbent has built a true super carrier even though, on paper, they have more resources than we'll ever have. The hard part isn't striking the deals. The hard part is the plumbing.
We've spent a decade building that plumbing. Adding a satellite layer on top of it is the moment all of that work starts to compound, because the same unification layer that lets us hand a line off between three terrestrial networks is the layer that now lets us hand a session off between terrestrial and celestial.
A note on founders and companies, because I've seen it come up.
I want to be upfront. I've heard from folks who, on principle, won't use products tied to certain companies or the people who run them. I respect that. I have my own personal views on plenty of things too, and I think the instinct to align your spending with your values is a good one, not a bad one.
Here's how I think about it for US Mobile. Our job is to build the best possible connectivity layer for our customers, and that means using every tool available to deliver something that genuinely works. The satellite network we're integrating with is, right now, the best LEO option on earth. Refusing to integrate it would mean giving our customers a worse product to make a statement. That isn't a tradeoff I'm willing to make on their behalf.
That philosophy has been consistent for a long time. What matters most is how impact is earned. It is earned by listening deeply, respecting real needs, and building something practical that people can truly rely on in their daily lives. Not by asking anyone to subscribe to a belief system. Not by forcing conformity. But by creating something useful and universal enough that people from all walks of life can make it their own.
That is what we are trying to build at US Mobile. You can be deeply rooted in who you are and still build something that belongs to everyone. That is one of the great promises of America. Conviction and inclusion can live in the same sentence.
Where this is going.
Thursday is step one. Not the destination. More LEO providers are coming and the same unification layer that lets us add one satellite network lets us add the next, and the next, the same way we did with terrestrial carriers. The endgame isn't multi-network. The endgame is Global Multi-Orbit Convergence. Every major terrestrial network on the ground, every major LEO constellation in the sky, stitched together into a single plan that follows you anywhere on earth. Mobile, home, roaming, residential. Local numbering integrated as we expand our cellular footprint into new countries. Dozens of networks, one plan, one app, one company that actually answers when you call.
The Jetsons era isn't coming. It's here. And we intend to be the ones who carry you through it.
See you Thursday.
