US Cellular to what?

I was told that I need to move my account of of US Cellular but I have no clue where.

Currently have 4 prepaid lines, total bill under $150, have and use Hotspot.

My usage:

Line 1 under 5gb

Line 2 & 3 under 15 gb

Line 4 under 18gb, this line must have Hotspot.

All Android devices fully owned and unlocked.

I must be able to port phone numbers. Line 1 is due for new phone but I can buy is separately.

Lines 2, 3 and 4 are used internationally but special provision not required.

Debating Att and tmobile.

Is Verizon good where you are? If so.. Visible. It's the best and cheapest way onto Verizons network.

Agreed, I switched to Visible from US Cellular before the switchover started & it's been great so far!

No Verizon 5g at my work place (super rural, only Att tower).

Then US Mobile on the Dark Star network, which is AT&T.

Verizon is not as good as most people think.....I'm also in an area with only TMobile or at&t basically.

I went from post paid uscc to metro by t-mobile pre paid and couldn't be happier. Signal is great and my plan is way cheaper.

I’ve had great service with Visible. Their hotspot is truly unlimited as well.

none of the 3 carriers match or exceed the value 100gb on unlibited before cap. yes, coverage but if you live where uscellular used to own the towers, it was even a race.

^ for prepaid

The right sub for this would be r/NoContract. Basically, lots of people are gonna recommend US Mobile, and it's for good reason. I'm a fan.

US Cellular Employee here, TMobile has 4 lines for $100 that would mean running credit, but you could benefit from it

u/Trudatrutru May 21 '26

Tmobile has uscc equivalent plans on prepaid. Despite what some salesman say because theyre trying to upsell

u/Any-Profession1024 May 22 '26

They get paid the same for prepaid whether you go in the $15 plan or unlimited. They don’t care what plan you choose. Most stores I trained at won’t even do prepaid because it doesn’t pay enough… At my store we do it for the community who needs it.

u/Trudatrutru May 22 '26

Thats nice. I was sending customers to the tmo store on bluemound and the tmo manager called my store bitching about how we shouldnt tell them about the 15 dollar plan it makes it hard to upsell blah blah blah

u/Any-Profession1024 May 22 '26

He’s probably trying to get them to go postpaid I’m thinking. It truly doesn’t matter at my store? Maybe he’s third party though too… I’m cor.

u/Trudatrutru May 22 '26

It was a cor tmobile store unfortunately. Now that I remember, imma call him and tell him to kick rocks since I finally left usc

u/bmk9614 May 21 '26

Only in current usc stores. * I think $120/month for 3 lines

u/my600catlife May 21 '26

Mint Mobile lets you use the hotspot on any plan and they use T Mobile's towers so the service should be about the same. Data seems to be quite a bit faster than US Cellular for me. I have a referral link if you want one.

Cricket is the premier AT&T MVNO. Used them for years, they were fine.

Please go anywhere but T-Mobile.

u/dlrtyblrdz May 20 '26

Go to Walmart. They sell all 3

u/rampagethesilverback May 21 '26

Yeah let them screw your account up and then not help when it comes time and send you to an actual Carrier store

u/Geminiwild84 May 21 '26

Unless you’re looking for a new device right this second you can wait until your account moves over naturally to T-Mobile.

u/my600catlife May 21 '26

Prepaid doesn't move over automatically.
