I'm considering switching to US Mobile from Verizon-- it seems way cheaper, and you can still use the Verizon network. Any downsides I should know?

I started mid last year and haven't run into any problems. Haven't needed to switch off of Dark Star yet.

I was previously on Google Fi, and MVNO roaming is bloody fantastic - I always had reception.

One tradeoff with MVNOs is you're generally lower priority on the network.

  • The only time that's going to matter is during a high usage event, like sports or perhaps a mass casualty. At that point, the network is overloaded for the primary users anyway.
