==="Free 5GB Data"===

On 11/19/2025, a Redditor posted a strange tile on a USMobile email newsletter, claiming that for a limited time USMobile is giving away 5GB "to any existing customer who asks for them" by clicking on a link. Additionally, users can collect up to three and can give it away to other people. The email's wording never mentioned anything regarding a "trial" or whether if it's a "permanent free plan or add-on".<ref>{{Cite web |title="What is a tile? Is this a completely free line?"

Redditors quick to point out about the misleading ad; that it was a "trial" for 30 days rather than something additional to their plan. One Redditor pointed out that "This is literally just a 30-day free trial, named something different and expecting you to do the work and pedal USM to your friends and family[...]"
