And supposedly Light Speed is T-Mobile.

Honestly, I would be so put off by the BS on their website that I can’t see
using them. Like saying you can “teleport” between networks and using those
cutesy names and making it sound like they built a third network and it has
250,000 more miles of coverage. They seem to be a one trick pony, that trick
being able to dynamically get a new eSIM to change networks.
They say “Dark Star” is the same network used by first responders, in other
words, duh, AT&T.

Forrest,
Being able to switch carriers is appealing, but US Mobile hides which one is
which behind the names "Warp", "Dark Star", and "Light Speed".
I'm guessing Dark Star is ATT, and maybe Verizon is Warp, but which is which
really?
Looking at their web site it implies that you can get "Super Carrier"; or
access to all 3 with the ability to switch at will. Is this real?

At PacketFlux:
For employee cell use, we provide a fixed dollar amount subsidy to every
employee. Since cell use around here consists pretty much of slack and a
couple of similar items, it's only $25. If the employee uses a budget plan
that would cover most if not all of it. If we had field techs that lived on
their phone it might be more.
For executives we are on a prepaid plan that the company pays for. Used to be
Verizon prepaid but just moved to US Mobile. US Mobile is a MVNO which has all
3 big networks and you can switch between them. We don't use a lot of data,
so we're on a 10GB shared data plan which is $20 for the first phone and $8 for
each additional one. The phones don't all have to be on the same network so
Debbie and I are on 2 different networks so we have a bit higher likelihood one
of the phones will be in coverage.

We've been with Verizon Forever, since Nextel went away, but their
business Data offerings seem to be not very much. We're working on
negotiating a new plan, so we can get some new handsets, and they are
trying to put us into an 8gb plan for 8 devices. And of course,
'Unlimited' is not really unlimited, they have confirmed that on the
business plans, it drops to 2G speeds after your data allotment. We're
working with our 'Regional Verizon business rep' but getting them to
actually commit to any pricing in writing is like pulling teeth.
In our area, it seems the 2 choices are Either Verizon or T-Mobile. I
rarely run into anyone with an AT&T phone.
Just curious what others are on for their Cellular plans, are you on
Business plans, or individual plans and reimburse employees?
We have 5 handsets, 2 In vehicle Hotspots, and a mobile hotspot. So
it's not a huge account, but 8gb of data doesn't seem like much.
