MobileX is a prepaid cell phone carrier known as a mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO.
An MVNO is simply any cell phone carrier that does not operate its own cellular network.
Instead of building their own networks, MVNOs make agreements with the four big carriers to use their cellular networks for coverage.
In MobileX’s case, it uses the Verizon network for coverage.
If you are curious to learn more about how the agreements work between the big carriers and the small carriers, check out my article on how some cell phone plans can cost so much less than others.
MobileX offers two types of plans plans:
There are two options when you choose the MobileX custom plan.
The first option is to let the MobileX AI platform build a plan for you.
The way it works is the MobileX AI platform monitors your talk, text, and data usage for a period of time. Then, once it understands your usage patterns, it recommends a plan tailored to your specific needs. If you like the option it gives you, you can select that as your plan.
The second option is building your own custom plan.
This is where you are in control.
You can get a talk and text package and bundle it with the exact data amount you want. As I understand it, you should have options to set your bill beforehand so you are not auto-charged if you go over your limit. And if you accidentally purchase more data than you need, MobileX will roll your unused data into your next billing cycle.
You also have options to control your video streaming quality.
You can select from 480p, 720, 1080p, or go up to 4K.
All Custom Plans also include premium data. Premium data is where your data speeds are slightly faster during times when the Verizon network is busy. This can include at sports events, stadiums, concerts, airports, or other areas where a lot of people are on their phones at the same time.
Finally, you can use all of your available data as hotspot data on the Custom Plans.
MobileX offers two unlimited plans:
These plans include 5GB and 30GB of high-speed data, respectively, before giving you unlimited data at 512Kbps.
