US Mobile is a Next Generation Wireless Carrier, offering no-contract wireless service in the United States. US Mobile has individuals as customers as well as internet of things companies. The service operates on a nationwide 4G LTE GSM network reaching more than 300 million Americans, and includes international calling to over 200 countries and territories.[1]

Founded by Ahmed Khattak (also founder of GSM Nation),[2] US Mobile offers customizable prepaid, no-contract cell phone plans. Customers can change their plans from month-to-month as well as top-up in the middle of a month. Top-ups roll over into the next month and there are no overage fees on top-ups. The plans are made by choosing from a pricing matrix consisting of talk, text and data buckets of different sizes.[3]
