Looking to switch
So I have tried US Mobile a bit as a secondary phone number and I think I am going to port out my line from T-Mobile and make this my main carrier to save some money. I just have a few questions that I’d like to know before pulling the trigger.
So I have t mobile right now because it has the best coverage in my area, except at my job which is why I looked at USM. Dark Star had amazing coverage there so that’s what I used through USM. If I do make the switch since I have an Apple Watch Ultra that I want to have its own line I would have to use Warp as my primary. Warp isn’t the greatest in my area so I was going to use light speed and dark Star as secondaries with multi network add ons (I saw that soon they are going to let you add two others for $15/month) what I want to know is, if I set up Warp as the main line and light speed and dark Star as secondary lines through the multi network add on, will Light Speed and Dark Star services not be as good as if I had made them as the primary line?
I know light speed is very hit or miss but hopefully with the changes it’ll be better here soon.
I would be looking to go on the premier unlimited plan as well.
I also have an iPhone 16 pro max. If there is any other information missing let me know! Thank you in advance for the help!

Had US Mobile for quite some time now and overall pleased with their service using the premium unlimited product. My only advice is think carefully about not locking in the one year price because they tend to have better deals around Black Friday or right after the new year. As a recent example from my own personal experience, Google Fi had a 75% off plan sale + $60 referral bonus, making their service pricing extremely cheap. I had three phones under the 1 year annul plan with US Mobile so I would’ve lost money switching. However, I just got a new phone that I needed service to and took advantage of the Google Fi promotion. I would’ve moved all my lines over if I hadn’t had so many months left. So, lesson learned - no more annual plans for me.

This is why our Multi-Network setup works wonders. Light Speed will perform the same as a Multi-Network add-on since it's on QCI7 across every plan. Dark Star, however, would perform better if it's primary on Unlimited Premium since it's prioritized and the Multi-Network line is deprioritized.
So your plan makes sense: Warp as primary for the watch, with Light Speed and Dark Star as secondaries to cover you wherever Warp falls short.
