Question: Do you have to pick just one and stick with that provider, or is it more dynamic than that?
Generally, yes, that is how it works. However, there might be workarounds.
When you request a SIM card kit, US Mobile will send you a kit with SIM cards for both T-Mobile and Verizon. You pick which one you want to use and install it in your phone and activate it. You would activate it using your current cell phone number but you could have a new phone number assigned to this SIM card.
I suppose if you wanted to switch networks you could go through the process, swapping out the say, Verizon SIM card for the T-Mobile card and go through the activation process again. There may be some delay with the process of switching your phone number over to the other network.
You might assign your current cellphone number to Verizon SIM card and assign a new, different phone number to the T-Mobile SIM card. Then it might be as simple as swapping SIM cards if you wanted to switch networks. You'd have SIM cards with two active phone numbers associated with them.
If your phone has e-SIM capability it might be an easier process.
This is just me guessing at how it might work. You should probably call US Mobile and ask them about it.
