MobileX is an MVNO that uses the Verizon network to provide coverage.
MobileX was founded in November of 2019 by Peter Adderton.
Peter Adderton is the founder and CEO of Boost Mobile Austrialia and Boost Mobile U.S., so you could say he has some experience launching prepaid cell phone carriers. MobileX is privately held, so it does not have to churn record profits to appease shareholders.
Instead, MobileX has the freedom to be more of a consumer-focused brand.
And I think that’s what they are trying to do.
But is MobileX any good?
What makes MobileX different is they offer a unique pay-as-you-go plan. The MobileX application monitors your talk, text, and data usage in real-time and learns your usage habits. It then creates a custom plan tailored to your specific needs. You can choose to purchase the rate plan the app recommends or you can build your own plan.
You only pay for the data you use with the MobileX custom plan.
If you accidentally buy too much data, then your unused rolls over to your next billing cycle.
MobileX also offers two unlimited plans. These plans include a set amount of high-speed data before giving you unlimited data at 512Kbps.
MobileX’s two unlimited plans are:
MobileX’s plans are affordable, and the brand is focused on providing value to consumers.
Overall, I think the service will be worth it for lighter-data users looking for an affordable plan with Verizon coverage.
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.
