I wish they'd jut enable SMS top-ups for pooled plans...
US Mobile | The next generation wireless network
Welcome to my UNofficial community for US Mobile. Hoping they'll join us over here to listen to your feedback and suggestions, answer questions, and help with anything.
In the meantime, it's a place for customers and prospective customers to meet and discuss US Mobile and it's services.
Yup. Me too. They say it's coming soon but I wouldn't hold my breath.
One feature they did add that gives me hope. Top up data now rolls into the next month. I discovered this by accident after this script bought data the day before my plan renewed.
Edit: Which reminds me. I should check that this script still works on the new shared plan.
The new shared plans look just like the old pooled plans 🤷♂️.
But they did decide to enable some Cloudflare stuff early this morning that broke the script.
A new version has been released.
USMobile recently added a way to add additional users with limited privileges. Turns out that even "Viewers" can top up a pool (they don't even have to have a line of their own!).
I'd recommend adding a user with view-only privileges and using that limited user to get tokens for scripting. Should be somewhat safer than using a token for the account admin.
They started requiring at least "Contributor" access to manage pools a few weeks ago.
Major update to the lifeguard today. Authentication is by username/password now. Setup is easier, no more foraging around for tokens. No more worry about tokens expiring - it knows how to log back in when required.
