History
Established in 2015 in New York City by CEO Ahmed Khattak, US Mobile initially operated as a GSM-focused provider. By 2020, its user base had grown to around 250,000 subscribers. The following year, the company launched pooled data plans allowing multiple lines to share a single data allowance, experiencing rapid growth from 300 to 3,000 lines within just one month. In 2021, US Mobile raised $11.5 million in Series A financing led by Volition Capital.
In 2022, the company enhanced its network offerings by introducing access to Verizon’s 5G C-Band alongside the existing 5G UW mmWave service. By mid-2024, US Mobile incorporated AT&T’s network ("Dark Star") into its portfolio, thereby completing coverage across all three major U.S. carriers and establishing itself as a comprehensive "Super Carrier."
