I'd be interested but the lack of hotspot is a dealbreaker for me.

yeah, it kinda depends on your usage. the old plan is 10GB hard cap with hotspot. Same price on new plan is 10GB priority data but unlimited 1mbps data and no hotspot, but can be added for $2.50 per month. Kinda depends if unlimited 1mbps data is worth $2.50 per month.

Do not recommend paying lump sum to any of these MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) specially if you haven't had them before.

Does this plan allow you to get service outside of the US?

I tried their one month trial. It was pretty good except that the data was spotty. The network bars were full, and the 5G logo showed up and was still not able to open apps. I had to switch to the store Wi-Fi to be able to do that. I wanted to purchase this yearly plan. However, held myself because of this glitch. By the way, I am in Raleigh, North Carolina, where their signal strength is very good

Previous 10GB plan is better. I am switching from Mint to US mobile for that.

Didn't aware US mobile change the plan: remove "Hotspot Service" and charge the same.

Be aware. Don't be fooled.

Nobody here is going to compare this to Mint's standard $15/mo 5GB plan without the hard data limit or pool? I've been using PayPal Credit to pay for it over 6 months with 0 interest, then get 6 months no payments. It's been very doable for us.
Also Mint includes taxes and fees in the $15, here it's extra. Mint includes hotspot, here it's extra.

Mint is terrible. I had T-Mobile before so I knew their network was good in my area. Switched to Mint thinking it'll be the same (since they use T-Mobile towers) but it's terrible. I subsequently learned that Mint users are DEPRIORITIZED compared to T-Mobile users.

According to the official FAQ on https://www.reddit.com/r/mintmobi...q_updated/
Mint is "deprioritized" (on QCI 7) meaning it will get slower speeds than most T-Mobile plans (that are on QCI 6). How much slower depends on the exact second how many people are on the same tower & band compared to the capacity of the tower/band, but with speeds usually between 20-90% of T-Mobile Magenta/Pre-Paid customers at the same time & location.

Every MVNO is depoliticized. Mint isn't depoliticized any more than others are. T-Mobile Magenta plans start at like $50/mo and Mint starts at $15/mo. To me, that seems well worth "20-90% slower" when in congested areas. It's never affected me and as I sit here in my bunker of an office with 3 bars, speedtest.net shows I'm getting 178 Mbps down. Mint's customer service suuuucks but performance has been great for my $15/mo!

US Mobile on Verizon's network is not deprioritized, as an example.

In my personal opinion this Flex plan is the best value for the money in the entirety of the cellular industry. 10GB of prioritized Verizon with unlimited data at 1mbps after hitting that high speed cap for $15/month (when paid annually) is unmatched imo.

Boost and Mint have similarly priced plans, with more high speed data and hotspot, but the data is deprioritized and they run off the T-Mobile network instead (which I consider a massive downgrade comparatively in my location).

Because this is no more unlimited than Mint. Both don't cut off data, just slow it down. US Mobile clearly gives you a "premium data" limit, at which time they slow you down (no hard cap). Mint has "unlimited" with 5GB of "Premium" if you want to use the same terms.

Do you have evidence of that? As fas as I know, every MVNO is deprioritized. That's part of what makes them cheaper.

USM Warp is prioritized Verizon data as long as you are using a 5G phone. A non-5G phone will receive deprioritized data.

You have no idea what you are talking about. us mobile and visible+ are the same priority as post paid verizon 5g… there are also other MVNOs offer priority data please checkout prepaidcompare.net and look at their plan finder tool if you are actually interested in learning something around MVNOs and not just assuming the plans are all equal.
