In late 2016, US Mobile had reported roughly 20,000 customers. By 2018, the company's customer base had reached 50,000.[4] In 2020, the company claimed about 250,000 customers.[5]
In 2021, it was announced that the carrier would offer pooled plans where customers pay for data in bulk to use across multiple devices and users.[6] The pooled plan service saw usage from 300 to 3,000 lines in one month, according to the company's CEO.[7] That same year, the company raised $11.5 million in Series A funding from Volition Capital.[8]
In 2022, it was reported that the company launched 5G C-Band access on its network, adding onto the existing 5G UW mmWave access from Verizon.[9][10]
In late 2023, the company announced it would begin offering customers the option to activate service on AT&T’s network, referred to internally as "Dark Star." The option became available on July 15, 2024, with full support beginning two weeks later. With service available on the three major U.S. wireless telecoms, the company began referring to itself as a "Super Carrier".[11]
