Just an FYI, this was posted yesterday on reddit:

Mint mobile agent just told me that tomorrow will be a Black Friday sale for new members of buy 3 months get 3 free... But the device you're using cannot have been active on Mint Mobile for 91 days. So even if you order a new SIM or phone number it's the device you are using that will determine if you are eligible for the sale price.

So if you are using google voice and renewing with a new number the discount might not work.

Unlimited Data: Unlimited means speeds will be reduced to a max of 128Kbps after >35GB/mo. or use of GB allotment for the remainder of the billing cycle. 1 month equals 30 days. Partial megabytes rounded up. Unlimited on handset and network only

How do they differentiate hotspot data from normal mobile data? Is it really something they can track?

It goes off of the end user IP. So your phone just acts as the router, but the tethered device has its own IP address. There a few apps that can mask this, but from what everyone says, those are hit or miss.

1. Where did you hear this rumor, or are you starting the rumor?

2. in what way would BB's Black Friday deal be better than this?
I think BB only has a deal on the 8 gig plan, and as mentioned that deal is active now. If that is the size you want it may be better for some since the taxes are lower and people may have giftcards or reward certificates they are trying to use. It also gives a person something to open if you are giving it to your kids as a Christmas gift. Just remember to activate within 45 days.

I am not 100% sure but I think you would activate the phone with one IMEI and then use it in a different phone. Typically with GSM providers (t-mobile/ATT) once the sim is active you can use the sim card in any phone, just switch it out. So if someone posts on ebay a IMEI that would work you could activate the sim card with that and then use it in your current phone.

Back in the day when phones hated water I would switch out my sim to an old phone when we went on the beach or went boating just to make sure I did not ruin my $$$ phone.

I bought 2 unlimited data plans about 3 weeks ago and have not activated them yet. Do you guys think I can talk to customer service and get the 3 free extra months added to my plans?

SO my sister just purchased 3 new activations last week. But she has not activated them yet.
Can she use this deal and then tack on the other ones?
I had the same question. I purchased my unlimited kit on November 2 and was going to activate it later this month.

I asked the CS and they said you have to purchase the sim kit after the promo was announced to be eligible even if the kit was not activated yet.

You can request a refund and rebuy was their recommendation..

Can any current users verify that the 5G coverage that mint mobile advertises is legit?

I believe it is Mint trying to get back some of the regulatory taxes that they have to pay in each state and perhaps some sales tax or maybe they are just padding some profit. Some report that the BB 8 gb deal has less taxes, someone quoted $1 and change earlier in the thread for the e911 fee.

Out of curiosity I just tried it on bestbuy and below was my total. I am in Maryland.

tem Subtotal$60.00
Store PickupFREE
Estimated Sales Tax$3.60
Prepaid wireless E911 fee$0.60
+ Apply a Best Buy Tax Exempt Account Number
Total $64.20
That's not bad. So the $30 unlimited plan for 3 months is $11 in taxes for all 3 months or just 1 month. If $11 is taxes, that is only about $3.50 each month in taxes which isn't all that bad.
