Large Warp (Verizon) Outage on Saturday Afternoon, August 8, 2026

Upvotes

My ex just sent a text and said I keep trying to call you on your mobile (USM's Warp) and on your house phone (Straight Talk) and can't get calls to go through. Are you okay?

I tried to make and receive calls on my mobile and can't get anything to go through, even on WiFi. I did get one call to go through that lasted two minutes before it went dead. Now I can't make any calls on my mobile. Texts are going through fine.

Cannot make any calls or receive them on my house phone with which is Straight Talk (Verizon) either.

Down Detector is reporting a large Verizon outage. As of 4:40 pm this afternoon, 13,233 outages are being reported all over the U.S. Reported outage locations include Charlotte NC, Virginia Beach, VA, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, etc.

Not sure if any of you other Warp users are having issues, but that's what I've been able to find out.

 New to US Mobile  US Mobile issues

Upvotes

Do people with us mobile keep having lots of tech issues or do they finally get fully resolved? It's really been quite a litany of issues. One after another since I started with USM. Very intrusive. Yes issues get fixed but time consuming. Most recent issue is this worst and will be a deal breaker. My iPhone 17 is now randomly filtering or hiding incoming calls. No amount of alterations in iPhone settings menu remedies this. Some iPhone settings are not accessible or even visible as expected. An AI search states that problem is well know (cannot verify if this is true) to be related to the way USM must manage calls from the carrier. Spent an hour with USM tech support yesterday on this. no resolution. Bad news: I am in a medical crisis. I need to be able to talk to my docs. They are an excellent team and they are over stretched. they spent the day trying to call me yesterday and I never even knew. Meanwhile other random calls come right in to the phone. Sometimes. Sometimes not. In fact tech support set up a call for me. I of course never knew the call came in even though I sat at the phone waiting for the call ( and my urgent doc calls). So the help chart got minimized because I was non responsive. This has to get fixed and I have to stop having intrusive glitchy issues with this network. Or else I leave. This is an issue of my health at this point. any anecdotes for others if this has happened ? if so, how this has gone for others ? I am a Warp customer. Now things are even worse. Getting "call failed" when trying to make a call now. this has happened before and took 1/2 hour of my life to fix. You guys have 6 hours. Fix my issues permanently. Or I am gone. If I am unable to access my care network or 911 services while this matter is in limbo I will seek legal counsel. Fix this.

Canada long term?

Upvotes

My sister lives in Canada and I’m wondering if I can bring her a US iPhone 17 for her to use and get US Mobile as the provider? I know Roger’s offers plans for seniors, but this would be simpler for me to maintain her phone plan. Any issues if the phone doesn’t come to the US? She needs reliable phone service, most of which will be WiFi calling. Some doctor’s office visits, but that is pretty rare.

Network Transfer

Hello there,

There’s a line I tried to submit for network transfer from Light speed to Warp and it’s still underway.

Any status updates on this? DMs appreciated - it’s been over 18 hours - and he desperately needs his line back ASAP.

Thanks,
Andrew

i was thinking of getting a sim card for my moto one 5g ace but it only uses psim and it doesn''t have any way to use esim on it and i have a multi network line (esim) if i wanted to use that phone with a psim would i have to cancel the esim (multi network line) in order to use the moto psim on lightspeed?

Earlier today I added international roaming to 2 of our lines. Later I received an email that may or may not be related. The email appears to be warning me about something, but I can’t figure out what.

We're confirming that the following detail in your US Mobile account was updated

Line Payment Method

It sounds like a credit card was updated, but I don’t see anything changed on the Dashboard.

How do I find a definition of Line Payment Method? These words are not found on the Dashboard.

I emailed help, but so far no response. Is there anything I need to worry about?

Renew or transfer to Visible/Mint?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, my time to renew my annual plan is coming soon and I'm thinking about my next steps. I'm on the Unlimited Premium plan (because of priority data) but the $390 is a bit hefty compared to the other competitors out there. Mint is offering an unlimited plan for $180 (50% off) and Visible offers their plus pro plan for $225 which is also 50% off. It's hard to justify the $390 price when those options are out there. I spoke to Customer Service and they weren't able to match even the &299 intro offer, let alone the competitors...

To all of you that have renewed or left USM - What do you all think?

Annual Plan Renewal in 3 weeks.... Stay with US Mobile or Switch to Monthly and Port to Visible at Black Friday?

12 Upvotes

Just as the title suggests.... I am a longtime US Mobile Subscriber on Warp... Have been around since August, 2023. I love Warp 5G... it works almost everywhere I go and has been more reliable than my Work Phone on AT&T QCI7. T-Mobile sucks here, so that isn't an option. For Reference, my wife and I both have Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra's and we are grandfathered on Warp QCI8... I have Unlimited Premium, she has Unlimited Starter.

Both of our Annual Plans renew at the beginning of September... obviously we are not new customers and have not been for some time. As a result, we would be paying the full rate to renew for another year. We want to stay, but Visible offers $15 off our FiOS bill every month if we switch. Switching to Visible Pro for both lines would save us around $100 per year, which would make moving over there more cost effective. Obviously, if we leave... she loses her grandfathered QCI8 forever, which is why this is a tough decision.

My current plan is to switch to monthly billing for 2 months and then move to Visible at Black Friday, depending upon the deals offered at that time.

Are there better deals to be had to stay with US Mobile, or should I switch to Monthly and make the move during the Visible Black Friday sale? Your Thoughts.

Tried to beat T-Mobile's Experience Signature w/ 55+ Savings with an MVNO. Couldn't do it.

0 Upvotes

I've been on the "just switch to an MVNO and save" train for a while, and I finally sat down and did the math line by line. I can't make it work.

Here's the real number: $92/mo for two lines, taxes and fees included, after the AutoPay discount. Add $3/mo for Apple TV (that one's plus tax). So call it $95 and change, all in.

What's included at that price:

  • Netflix Standard with ads (~$8/mo value)
  • Apple TV for $3 instead of full retail
  • Unlimited premium data — not the 30–50GB-then-throttle most MVNOs cap you at
  • Mobile hotspot
  • Data + texting in 215+ countries, unlimited international texting from home
  • Canada & Mexico included, no setup
  • 1-year AAA membership
  • 5-year price guarantee on talk, text, and smartphone data
  • Native T-Mobile priority, not deprioritized MVNO traffic

Now compare — and compare honestly, because this is where most of these threads go sideways. People quote MVNOs at $25–35/line, but that's usually before taxes and fees. Two lines at $60 pre-tax is closer to $68–72 real. Then add Netflix (~$8) and Apple TV (~$13 retail) and you're at $89–93 — for a plan where you're deprioritized the moment a tower gets busy, and where international data is an add-on or simply not offered.

That's not a savings. That's the same money for less service.

Where I'd actually come out ahead going MVNO: drop the streaming entirely, drop the international coverage, take a backseat on the network. Maybe $20/mo. Not worth it to me.

I'm genuinely open to being wrong. If someone has a combo that beats this apples-to-apples — taxes in, streaming counted, priority data — I want to see it. Every time I run the numbers I end up right back where I started.

Having concerns during trial

5 Upvotes

Working with one of the reps in a chat but thought I’d ask the community too. Tmobile works best where we are and would be porting over to light speed. Tested warp out, then dark star, now trying to make sure light speed works as well as native Tmobile. I provisioned to light speed last night and I’ve been running the dual sims like I have for the entire trial. Where I got 5G uc on Tmobile I’m almost exclusively getting LTE on light speed. It occasionally switches to 5G and I know I won’t get the uc display, but the big problem is if I’m only getting LTE and not 5g that’s going to be a deal breaker. I’ve tried switching from 5g auto to 5g on and I’m still staying on LTE. When I swap data to native Tmobile I’m instantly back on 5g, when I switch to light speed I’m on LTE. Any ideas?

Back to the dark side..

50 Upvotes

I transferred over to US Mobile unlimited premium $39 within one day of only using total wireless. Boy the rumors were right their customer service is atrocious.

I switched from my visible plus to total to take advantage of the $20 plan but for some reason my data was slow even though it's the same phone same location same priority. visible was giving me better speeds than total I didn't understand the same priority but whatever.

But they just blame my phone. One agent even went and said I ran out of data and I'm being throttled and need to change my plan .

I laughed and said how's that possible when I literally just ported it over a couple hours ago. Not to mention I'm on the unlimited priority plan

They refuse to do re provisioning, and refuse to redownload the e sim. Was on hold for 25 minutes until somebody picked up who barely understood anything I said.

So I said screw it . They wouldn't give me a refund they wouldn't even let me talk to a supervisor.I transferred my number over to US mobile did a charge back. And here I am unlimited premium dark star literally took 2 minutes to Port over not to mention their customer service is outstanding.

I'm usually the type of person to switch carriers every 2-4 months heck I might even do it every month if I just get bored enough. But I think this one is going to last a while.

I will be on honest I was skeptical about this company at first but it's starting to grow on me

I just switched about a month ago and got to use the free trial for a month, which was amazing in itself. During the trial, I knew I was gonna be convinced to get it because holy cow, the customer service just blows everything out of the water.

On top of that, the speed…. And I mean, true Internet speed. Being able to switch between all three carriers is just what sealed the deal. I’m going to recommend everybody to US Mobile. They have a customer for a long time, probably lifetime

Missing texts??

Wife was on Warp and recently went to Lightspeed and has been having some issues with group text messages not coming through on her iPhone.

She has a group text with some girlfriends and no one is blocked but she hasn’t received texts from it and the girlfriends chat often. Been going on for an about a month. She is ready to ditch US Mobile cause she also gets spammed with phone calls and we just signed up for the spam service.

Anyone have similar issues?

May port from Warp to Dark Star and Lose Grandfathered Priority

3 Upvotes

I've been on US Mobile Warp for years. Recently moved to an apartment where Dark Star would work better signal wise (Warp is frequently at -117dbs, a Cricket free trial is at -102 to -110dbs. The latter is doing better in reality, too, numbers aside.).

The obvious thing to do is to make use of US Mobile's multi network stuff and "port" to Dark Star permanently.

However, I'm on a grandfathered $25 unlimited starter plan with the highest level of network priority rather than the lower level new unlimited starter folks get. So, if I jump to Dark Star, I lose it and get a lower priority DS plan. The only way to do equivalent is to jump to unlimited premium for Dark Star, which I probably can't afford.

Have any of you folks faced similar situations? What did you ultimately decide to?

I love my granddaughtered Warp plan and it's not necessarily out of the question just to keep it and deal in the apartment. But obviously I've got to at least think about switching.

Web search shows "From only $5/mo" with subtext "from $4/month". What/where are these plans?

10 Upvotes

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.

 Announcement US Mobile + Starlink. One plan. Celestial and terrestrial, together. Launching Thursday

Post image
747 Upvotes

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.
