In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to set it up and start using it like a pro.

What You’ll Need
To get started, make sure you have:

Step 1: Verify Both Network Lines Are Ready
Before setting up the shortcut, double-check that both your network lines are good to go.
✅ Check Line Installation & Status:
- Open Settings → Cellular
- Confirm both US Mobile lines are listed and labeled
- Ensure both show network names or custom labels (e.g., “Warp,” “Dark Star”)
✅ Confirm Lines Are Active:
- Log into the US Mobile app or visit usmobile.com
- Go to your line details and verify both the parent line and the Multi-Network add-on are “Active”
- Check for recent activity or usage on both lines
✅ Test Network Signals:
- In Settings → Cellular, confirm each line has:
- Signal bars (at least 1–2 bars)
- Network type (5G, LTE, etc.)
- Carrier name or custom label
If either line shows “No Service” or “Searching”, restart your phone or wait a few minutes.
✅ Enable Both Lines:
