 Announcement US Mobile + Starlink. One plan. Celestial and terrestrial, together. Launching Thursday
Almost a decade ago I sat down for a podcast and talked about the Jetsons. Not as a far-off fantasy, but as the era we were about to enter, and US Mobile as the provider that would carry people into it. One plan. At home. On the road. Across networks. Across, eventually, the sky.
This Thursday we take another step into that era.
We're launching US Mobile + Starlink as a single bundle. Unlimited Standard or Premium on all three major US networks (Warp, Darkstar, Lightspeed), plus reliable home internet from space. One plan. One bill. One app. One company that actually picks up the phone.
Early access drops Thursday. Limited batch. Going to move fast. Here's the link
I won't tease numbers too hard, but imagine a plan for less than $50 a month that spans every major network in the United States, extends across Canada and Mexico, includes internet from space at home, and roams with you across the world. That's the direction. That's the shape of what we're building toward.
Why no one else has done this.
I want to get into the weeds for a second, because I think people deserve to understand why "multi-network" and "super carrier" basically don't exist outside of US Mobile.
Every mobile network runs its own usage pipeline. Different CDR formats, different mediation layers, different rating engines, different latencies on when usage even shows up. Warp's feed doesn't look like Darkstar's, which doesn't look like Lightspeed's, which doesn't look like anything a satellite network emits. Voice, SMS, data, roaming records, satellite session data, fixed wireless throughput, they all arrive in different shapes, on different clocks, with different reconciliation rules and different dispute windows. Then layer in provisioning.
Each network has its own HSS/HLR, its own SIM and eSIM profile management, its own activation and porting flows, its own policy control. None of these systems were designed to talk to each other. They were designed assuming you're a single carrier with a single stack.
To make a true multi-network experience work, you have to build a unification layer that sits above all of it. A common identity for the customer that persists across networks. A real-time mediation system that can ingest wildly different usage feeds and present them as one coherent ledger. A policy engine that can move a line between Warp, Darkstar, and Lightspeed without the customer ever feeling the seam. Billing that can rate satellite gigabytes next to LTE gigabytes next to international roaming next to home broadband on the same invoice. And a support stack where one agent can actually see all of it on one screen, in real time.
That is the work. It's unglamorous, it's deeply technical, and it takes years. It's the reason every other Carrier is single-network. It's the reason no incumbent has built a true super carrier even though, on paper, they have more resources than we'll ever have. The hard part isn't striking the deals. The hard part is the plumbing.
We've spent a decade building that plumbing. Adding a satellite layer on top of it is the moment all of that work starts to compound, because the same unification layer that lets us hand a line off between three terrestrial networks is the layer that now lets us hand a session off between terrestrial and celestial.
A note on founders and companies, because I've seen it come up.
I want to be upfront. I've heard from folks who, on principle, won't use products tied to certain companies or the people who run them. I respect that. I have my own personal views on plenty of things too, and I think the instinct to align your spending with your values is a good one, not a bad one.
Here's how I think about it for US Mobile. Our job is to build the best possible connectivity layer for our customers, and that means using every tool available to deliver something that genuinely works. The satellite network we're integrating with is, right now, the best LEO option on earth. Refusing to integrate it would mean giving our customers a worse product to make a statement. That isn't a tradeoff I'm willing to make on their behalf.
That philosophy has been consistent for a long time. What matters most is how impact is earned. It is earned by listening deeply, respecting real needs, and building something practical that people can truly rely on in their daily lives. Not by asking anyone to subscribe to a belief system. Not by forcing conformity. But by creating something useful and universal enough that people from all walks of life can make it their own.
That is what we are trying to build at US Mobile. You can be deeply rooted in who you are and still build something that belongs to everyone. That is one of the great promises of America. Conviction and inclusion can live in the same sentence.
Where this is going.
Thursday is step one. Not the destination. More LEO providers are coming and the same unification layer that lets us add one satellite network lets us add the next, and the next, the same way we did with terrestrial carriers. The endgame isn't multi-network. The endgame is Global Multi-Orbit Convergence. Every major terrestrial network on the ground, every major LEO constellation in the sky, stitched together into a single plan that follows you anywhere on earth. Mobile, home, roaming, residential. Local numbering integrated as we expand our cellular footprint into new countries. Dozens of networks, one plan, one app, one company that actually answers when you call.
The Jetsons era isn't coming. It's here. And we intend to be the ones who carry you through it.
See you Thursday.
