What are the taxes and government surcharges associated with my MobileX plan?
At MobileX, we believe in passing on as much savings as possible to our customers so that we can continue to deliver dramatic reductions in wireless service costs without compromising connectivity quality. All our pricing is transparent with no unexplained fees.
After you select or adjust your plans and features, you will have a chance to review your bill before you pay for it. To provide a simple bill, we consolidate all applicable taxes and government surcharges into one line item above the display of the total price. Taxes and government surcharges vary by state and local jurisdiction, and the total is calculated automatically by the compliance solutions plug-in based on the service address you provided. Various government entities require that we collect these taxes and government surcharges, then remit the required amounts to the government entities. We have not adopted the common industry practice of charging you additional fees not mandated by governments. Our prices for services and the amounts we collect as required by governments are transparent.
Below is a list of common taxes and government surcharges:
1. Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) Fee: This fee, required by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), supports universal service programs to enhance access to advanced telecommunications services in rural and high-cost areas, provide low-income assistance, and offer services to schools, libraries, and rural healthcare providers. The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) establishes a quarterly contribution factor, and MobileX charges its customers the then-applicable rate set by USAC.
2. State Universal Service Fund (USF) Fee: Like the Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) Fee, this charge supports universal programs at the state level.
3. 911 Fees: 911 fees are imposed by state or local governments to support emergency services, such as police, fire, and medical response. Each state, city, municipality, or county has specific charges, and a ZIP code is required to determine the applicable 911 charges.
4. State and Local Taxes: These taxes vary depending on the state and local jurisdiction and may include sales tax, gross receipts tax, utility tax, or other telecommunications-specific taxes.
5. Sales Tax: Applied to the purchase of SIM kits, devices, or accessories.

How do I get started with MobileX?
Welcome! We are excited to have you join the MobileX family. We have made the process to join MobileX as simple and enjoyable as using the app itself.
Just follow the steps below to join:
- Download the app
- Create a MobileX account
- Select from one of our 3 plan type options
- Provide additional details and get activated
- Start saving!
Plan options
MobileX has 3 different plan type offerings.
- Need a Hand Plan
- Unlimited Plans
- Build Your Plan Your Way
Need a Hand Plan
While we have several plan options, we recommend most people go through the $4.88 Need a Hand Plan. The Need a Hand Plan Learning Period is an up-to 10 day analysis period during which our A.I. Forecaster learns how you live, and creates a fully-customized plan just for you. During the Learning Period, you will use your phone as you normally would and the MobileX A.I. learns your usage patterns. After the Need a Hand Plan Learning Period ends, we will let you know your exact data usage and the price you will be paying for that amount of data every month.
The Learning Period gives us specific insight into your unique data usage. So rather than picking a plan that “fits” your approximated usage lifestyle, we offer you a plan FOR your usage lifestyle. Don’t be surprised when you find out you actually use way less data than other carriers tell you you’re using. Unlike other carriers who unfortunately try to trick their customers into believing they need to pay extra for unlimited data, we believe you should pay for what you need and nothing more. Why would you want to pay for data you’re not even using? Sounds silly, huh? MobileX is designed to be a cost effective and smart spending mobile plan. Let’s get started!
Note: Learning Period does not include Mobile Hotspot.
Basic Unlimited
Much like you’ll find at other carriers, we offer basic unlimited plans as well. These plans come with a set amount of high-speed data before being slowed down. As the name implies, they are unlimited. With the traditional style of these plans, you pay the same each month regardless of how much data you use.

Build Your Plan Your Way
With Build Your Plan Your Way you can create any data/talk/text combo–including international–all in the app! Even better is you will only ever pay for what you use. The way this works is that unused mobile data gets converted into a bill credit on your next month’s renewal. What’s also awesome is that we give you the ability to tweak the plan to your liking.
What you get with Build Your Plan Your Way
- Premium data from one of the fastest 5G networks in America

What’s the difference between a locked and unlocked device?
A device is considered “locked” when it’s limited to operating on a specific carrier’s network, preventing its use on any other service. If your device is locked, you will be unable to activate your MobileX service with it.
A device not tied to any carrier service is considered “unlocked”, allowing you to use it with any US network, including MobileX.
MobileX now offers a range of unlocked devices suitable for use on any network, including ours. Shop now.
Can I activate multiple devices on my MobileX account?
Only one device can be activated to your MobileX account at a time. However, if you want to switch your service to another device you can move the SIM into your new device. Just remember, this will cause you to lose connection on your original device until you move the SIM back into it.
Why is my data running slow?
- You could be in a location where your phone is having a hard time picking up the connection or is congested. An example would be a large gathering where there are a lot of people on the network.
- Your current location. Since your phone is picking up radio waves, something around you may be causing interference for a number of reasons.
- The tower you’re connected to is undergoing maintenance.
- The tower you’re connected to is not the closest tower to you.
- If you think you might not be connected to the closest tower, try to resolve this by toggling your airplane mode. Further information can be found here: [link]
- If Wi-Fi is an option and you really need to connect, try using that rather than the mobile network
- Network slowdown may happen at some point, and we would like to thank you for your patience during the periods of slowdown.
