For the uninformed:

On Best buy website search for Mint mobile, it has text in small font size saying:
New activation required and must be activated in 45 days of purchase.
These require you to be new so can't add to existing accounts. The easiest way around this is to port your number to Google voice and link it to whatever prepaid number you have at the moment. (This works flawlessly to integrate gvoice to the dialer on Android, can't say if that is possible or tolerable on an iPhone)
Yes you can, same limit of your high-speed data, once you run out of high speed data it's slower speeds but unlimited tethering as well👍

thx!

i currently have a mint sim to use in Jan 2020 when my current 3month sub expires.
i will use this for when that sim expires in April 2020 since i read Mint from BestBuy doesnt have the requirement that it MUST be activated within 45days else it loses ALL value.

note: mint doesnt work at fort lauderdale airport and Lyft couldnt find a network connection when i was at Dulles airport, yet i could surf the web fine.
(lyft works fine at my house with Mint.)

You would have to port in a number / get a new number.

I recently activated a 3 month promo SIM from them that I bought nearly one year ago with no problems.

A rep told me they say 45 days but they do it all the time. Also, he told me the real expiration date night be the one printed on the SIM, but even then he said to call and they might be able to extend it.

Please confirm with a rep to your satisfaction but this was my experience.

Grrr! I just bought this today, early this morning for $45 directly from Mint, it's for my daughter. That order already shipped. I might as well buy this for $30 too. I can just add this after and have 6 straight months right? It's not like a new person only price or anything is it? Repped!

T-Mobile and Sprint which both are same company as under T-Mobile. I got it week or two ago, switched from att prepaid. Much better voice quality, all HD voLTE, wifi calling, tethering and excellent coverage in Oklahoma so far.

Yes, Mint Mobile is a T-mobile based MVNO. Check coverage at their site and check the T-mobile bands supported by the phone the SIM will be used in.
