While $8.33 is a great price for the plan being offered, unfortunately that contract you're in and commitment is unlikely to get mint too many people to bite. (When I say contract. I Mean a contract to yourself since it's a one time payment)

20 years ago, this would've been the talk of town when prices were sky high for plans.

Now, you can always find MVNO deals.

Also, who even said mint mobile will be around in 25 years

Honestly, I'm highly doubting mint will even get 1,000 people total to do this, I'm almost thinking even if 100 people would.

This deal is not for me. I'll pass. Thanks

Imagine having 4gb of data in 20 years when starting plans are in the terabytes.

Actually, the terms on the Mint website say that they will upgrade your data to the lowest tiered data option they currently offer. Reminds me of the Tmobile customers that still have the $2.99 and then $5.99 a month T-zones unlimited data to this day running on an Iphone 12. Sigh, those were the days...

5G network, that's great; I can download 4GB data how fast? Then what?

And when the 6G network arrives?

This gets my upvote simply for being a good marketing prank by Deadpool.
P.S. as many have stated the data plan defaults to lowest currently offered by Mint which started off with 1-2GB and now up to 4GB and about $15 per month so about $180 yearly so this deal brings cost down considerably. Having said that I still view this is more of a "golden" version of Apple Watch thing (overpriced by pretty for show off for year or so) that appeals to only some not as much as savings but as something that can be brought up during conversation that you have wireless plan paid off that will last you a lifetime (age dependent) or you don't have to pay your wireless bill for 25 years etc.
In another perspective some people pay almost same money for only two years with Verizon (granted you get more obviously but some might not even be using much of it).
If I had the extra $ I would probably get it just to say I invested into Deadpool for next 25yrs😏.

As much as people mock the Bonilla deal, it actually was a perfectly good decision by the Mets.

The money that got freed up was used to sign a free agent who helped the Mets make the playoffs that year, and the compensation draft pick they got when that guy left was used to pick David Wright. Anyone in their right mind would take that deal in hindsight, the problem was the owners' counting on Bernie Madoff and his ponzi scheme to give them an even higher rate of return, thinking they would make money on the deal.

I guess if you factor in inflation, paying $2500 up front might not be so bad a deal.

But like others have said, 4-5GB might be ok for now but who knows in 5-10 years and in 20 years?
