| Cord Cutters NewsLast Chance: Switch to US Mobile Today and Get a Year of Unlimited for $225 + a Pixel 10
Robin FrostOoh lord someone pray for me i'm having a day. Dear #USMobile you say you can't authenticate my perfectly good card but don't tell me why. This is almost enough reason for me to kick you to the curb faster than light speed (see what I did there) and go elsewhere.
Get 50% Off US Mobile’s Annual Unlimited Premium + Big Pixel & Pixel Watch Holiday Deals
Luigi311Just a heads up some, some carriers instantly flag the #pinephone and #pinephonepro as routers probably due to the EG25-G in them. Had my primary line on #USMobile suspended and required me to reinsert my Sim on a supported device, pixel 6, and tons of back and forth to get it reactivated. It trigger due to being on the unlimited plan so now I'm on their cheapest by the gig plan with only 2GB. Jokes on them I never leave the house/WiFi so I'll never pass 2GB and it'd $44 -> $10
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺My first cellular phone service cost $45/month + $0.45/minute during peak hours (daytime) or $0.25/minute off peak. (That was on GTE, the only alternative to AT&T.)
Now I pay $96/year (only $8/month!) through reseller #USMobile , can switch easily between the 3 networks, and get better customer service.
This has got to be the best consumer bargain I've seen in ages...
Rob PegoraroWeekly output: Next Big Things in Tech (x3), Starship, T-Satellite, prepaid home wireless broadband
A months-in-the-work project finally reached the publication stage this week, which felt good–if not as good as invoicing for this project. Another high point of this week: spending a chunk of Saturday afternoon at the No Kings demonstration in D.C. and seeing how strong the protest-sign game remains in my city.

I wrote this recap of Starship’s 11th flight test Monday night and then revised the piece slightly Tuesday morning–hours before SpaceX released video of Starship’s upper stage looking more than a little cooked as it lowered itself into the Indian Ocean.
10/16/2025: Who’s on T-Satellite? T-Mobile Dominates, But Verizon Customers Say No Thanks, PCMag
One surprise of this study from Ookla was how many AT&T subscribers chose to pay $10 a month extra to T-Mobile for Starlink satellite roaming; another was how rarely wireless users now find themselves without a terrestrial signal.

Anyone know of a reliable, cheap cell phone carrier in the US? I have an ancient AT&T prepaid plan that doesn't have data, (it used to be Cingular,) and my money is finally running out. So I'm in the market for something new. I'd like unlimited talk and text, (texts are what burned $500 of prepaid minutes out in 16 months,) and some data. I'd prefer less than $10USD/month.
I used US Mobile abroad and enjoyed them. They have a limited plan at $8/month if you pay for a year. Are they good in this country?
Can you recommend any others to look at?
thanks.
