Altice USA Inc. is offering its cable customers unlimited mobile-phone service for $20 a month, less than what its pay-TV peers and the major wireless carriers charge.

Using Sprint Corp.’s wireless network, Altice Mobile is available to Altice Optimum customers and Suddenlink customers as of Thursday. For people who aren’t Altice customers but live in the 21 states where the company operates, the service is available for $30 a month.
