=== "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?" Reddit r/usmobile |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/USMobile/comments/1p1lygx/what_is_a_tile_is_this_a_completely_free_line/}}</ref>

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[...]"

USMobile Reddit Agents responded to multiple complaints regarding the ill-intent wording of the tile, resulting in multiple downvotes by the users.

The CEO of USMobile has not responded to the outrage as of 11/20/2025. Additionally, three day prior, he "have been on a plane every week and sometimes two or three times a week."<ref>{{Cite web |title="Been real quiet..." comment by u/ankhattak on r/usmobile - Reddit |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/USMobile/comments/1p029p6/comment/npjh0cd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button}}</ref>
