US Mobile includes international calls on most of its plans. What matters for most callers is whether the country they call has a monthly cap. Every US Mobile detail below comes from its own plans, international calling and roaming pages, checked 3 October 2026.
Which plans include international calls
According to the FAQ on US Mobile's plans page, international calling from the US is included on all annual plans, on By the Gig shared-data plans and on the monthly Unlimited Premium plan. The monthly Unlimited Starter plan needs an add-on, which US Mobile's plan comparison prices at $3 a month. Light plans can buy the add-on too.
| Plan | Annual price | Calls from the US to other countries | Using your phone abroad |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unlimited Premium | $299 for the first year, then $390 | Included | 20 GB of data, 200 minutes and 250 texts included |
| Unlimited Starter | $199 for the first year, then $270 | Included on the annual plan; $3/month add-on on the monthly plan | Annual plan: 1 GB, 200 minutes and 250 texts included. Monthly plan: $15/month add-on |
| Unlimited Flex | $210, taxes and fees included | Included | $15/month add-on |
| By the Gig (shared data) | Depends on the data pool | Included | $15/month add-on |
US Mobile also sells monthly versions of Unlimited Premium and Unlimited Starter. International calling works only on its US SIMs, not on its international data eSIMs, and US Mobile's FAQ says all international long distance calling is for personal use only.
Countries with a monthly minute cap
On the Unlimited plans, US Mobile's international calling page lists unlimited minutes to most destinations, including India, Mexico, the Philippines, China, Pakistan, Vietnam, the UK and Canada. A cap per 30-day cycle applies to 23 countries instead. The table shows some of them, checked , next to what CallSky charges per minute once a cap runs out.
| Country | US Mobile minutes per cycle | CallSky (our product), per minute |
|---|---|---|
| Nigeria | 209 | $0.44 |
| Kenya | 228 | $0.72 |
| Ghana | 200 | $0.93 |
| Ethiopia | 114 | $0.93 |
| Morocco | 38 | $1.01 |
| Guatemala | 151 | $0.51 |
| Israel | 280 | $0.13 |
| United Arab Emirates | 158 | $0.57 |
| Belgium | 67 | $0.09 |
US Mobile's FAQ adds two rules. The caps assume you call only one capped country in a cycle, and once you use them up, US Mobile won't sell extra minutes; the allowance refreshes at the start of the next cycle. Plans with a small data pool get fewer minutes: for a 2 GB pool, US Mobile lists 42 minutes to Nigeria. US Mobile also warns that some toll-free, premium-rate, government and business numbers abroad may not connect.
Using US Mobile abroad
US Mobile offers native roaming, so you keep your number abroad without a separate SIM. Per its roaming page, Unlimited Premium includes 20 GB of data, 200 minutes of calling and 250 texts, and the annual Unlimited Starter includes 1 GB, 200 minutes and 250 texts. Other plans pay $15 for each month they need roaming. Local calls and calls to the US are supported while roaming.
Coverage depends on which of US Mobile's networks your line uses: Light Speed roams in over 180 countries, Warp in over 125, and Dark Star in 110+, of which 30 are data only. For data alone, US Mobile also sells international data eSIMs, but those eSIMs can't make calls.
Where a calling app fits
CallSky is our product, so weigh this section accordingly. For every country US Mobile covers without a cap, its included calling costs less than any per-minute app, CallSky included. CallSky calls landlines and mobiles over the internet with prepaid credit and no monthly fee, from a web browser or the iPhone and Android apps. For a US Mobile customer it helps in two cases:
- After a cap runs out. US Mobile won't sell more minutes to a capped country, so the rates in the table above are what the rest of the month costs.
- Business calls. US Mobile's international calling is for personal use only.
CallSky also works over the data of a US Mobile international eSIM, which can't place calls itself. If you are comparing carriers, our guides to T-Mobile international calling and Verizon international calling rates cover their plans.
