The company has more than 100,000 subscribers in the United States and offers usage analytics, eSIM data roaming, and other services.[2] It provides 24-hour customer service operations from its office in Karachi, Pakistan.[3]

The company offers month-to-month, no-commitment plans that are customizable. US Mobile does not use Verizon's name in its marketing, but offers "Super LTE" branded service on the Verizon Wireless network.[4]
The company also sells phones on its own website, working with third-parties and multiple retailers to distribute.[5][2]
History[]
Based in New York, New York, the company was founded in 2015 by Ahmed Khattak (CEO) as a GSM-based service provider.[6] Khattak was born in Pakistan in 1986.[7]
In late 2016, the company had reported roughly 20,000 customers. By 2018, the company's customer base had reached 50,000.[8] In 2020, US Mobile claimed about 250,000 customers.[9]
In 2021, it was announced that US Mobile would offer pooled plans where customers pay for data in bulk to use across multiple devices and users.[10] The pooled plan service saw usage from 300 to 3,000 lines in one month, according to the company's CEO.[2]
In 2021, US Mobile announced an $11.5 Million Series A investment by Volition Capital.[11] In 2022, it was reported that US Mobile would launch 5G C-Band on its network, a move that had been delayed due to six weeks of conflicts with the Federal Aviation Administration.[12][13]
