During the summer US Mobile announced it is now a “super carrier”, offering the ability to connect to all three major US cellular networks. There’s been a lot of confusion about this new change and how it works. I’ve spent a few months with the carrier getting to know it for that very reason.*In this short guide, we explain US Mobile carrier switching and how it works, as well as if it’s as good as it sounds on paper and who it’s best suited for.

Can you switch between the networks or do you have to pick just one?

If you’ve dealt with US Mobile in the past you might be under the assumption that you have to pick just one network and stick with it, as that was somewhat true in the past but thankfully not anymore. US Mobile does offer the ability to switch between carriers. If you’re hoping this works a bit like Fi Wireless, I’m afraid not. While Google Fi can switch between T-Mobile and US Cellular networks without any input from the user, US Mobile requires you to change networks through the app.
