Deal Details
Mintmobile.com just posted their early Black Friday deals.

They are letting you sign up for 3 months and get 3 months free. Thus, six months for the price of three months.
-------------------------------------

However, a deal I think looks good is:

Samsung Galaxy A12 smartphone (about a $179 value), 32GB storage.
+
24 Months of Mint Mobile service, unlimited talk text and 4GB of data monthly.
=
$180 (phone) + ($180 for 24 months, instead of just the normal 12 months, cell service)
=
$360 + taxes/fees= $415.14 which equals about $17.30 (includes taxes/fees) a month for cell service and the phone is basically for free;

The monthly price of $17.30, for 4GB data, is about half of what others charge (comparing to Cricket Wireless for example), not including the taxes/fess--- not to mention the free $180 Samsung smartphone.

(must activate phone within 45 days of receipt to get this deal).

Yeah, got that right.

This is a mixed bag of a deal. I'd love to get 24 months for $180. That's $7.50 per month for 4GB monthly plan. The plan is a good deal. It's the same price as their 3-month promotion, but you can skip doing seven promotion signups. That's a lot of busy work you save.

But who wants to pay $180 for the Galaxy A12?! Recent deal for the Galaxy A51 was $90, and that came with a year of service on Tracfone. The A12 is like 40% slower than than the A51, worst screen resolution, and only 32GB vs 128GB. It's bad on all specs.
One is NOT paying for the phone, you get it free basically, cause the price of the service is cut in half on top of it, as stated in OP. woWzA. Applause

Skip that and just look at the OTD price. The OP is saying $17 p/mo for 4GB of data, phone service and device for two years.
It's not a terrible overall deal. The phone can be free and the phone service can be $17 p/mo locked for 2 years
The price of the service is not "cut in half".

Ignoring the phone, you're paying $360 for 2 years of service. Their normal pricing for a year-long pre-paid plan for 4GB/month is $180.

Let me repeat. Any day of the week, you can prepay Mint $180 for a year of service at 4GB/month. That comes out to $15/month. That's everyday pricing.

With this deal, you get the honor of prepaying for TWO years of service...for twice the one year cost. $360. So that's the same $15/month cost.

In this thread, they got us distracted over including the cost of the shit phone and double counting the discount. They also make it hard to tell what their normal pre-paid prices are beyond the promotion.

NOT A GOOD DEAL. Also, their pricing transparency sucks.

Went on a road trip in October in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts.

Best networks for us were:

Verizon
Red Pocket AT&T
Mint

Verizon non-mvno was fast enough to stream spotify throughout the trip, except for some parts of Acadia National Park

Red Pocket AT&T was pretty good everywhere but generally had lower bars and speeds than Verizon

Mint was largely unusable in the parks. Was fine on most highways and in big cities but unusable on most mountain roads.

Back home in Southern CA, Mint wins on speed. Coverage is basically a tie. We just added a Visible line based on Verizon's performance on the trip and it is easily worst of all 4 in crowded areas in Orange County.

So, all this to say... Look at user reviews and speed tests for your area. Coverage maps are only part of the picture. Throttling and lack of roaming agreements on MVNOs play a role too. If you don't leave the city, Mint is fine, but in my situation I think Red Pocket AT&T is the best mix of price/quality

Don't understand how this deal is on frontpage. Basically you are committed to pay TWO years of service at MSRP to get a "free" junk phone that you won't touch after setting up.

This is a for-profit website/company.

Remember: if you're not paying for it, you're the product.

FWIW, I've tried T-mobile 2x over the years in the central valley of California, Fresno to Bakersfield...and it's been trash. 🤷

It's all a matter of where, when, and what phones you've tried. I road tripped with a Verizon user, both on previous iterations of Pixel phones, and had to hotspot them with T-Mobile much of the trip from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon and back once we were outside of dense population centers.
Most of the carriers are upgrading their networks, especially with 5G deployment, but you need current technology in your phone to make use of expanded coverage.

A12 should be one of those things you get in a cereal box yummy
Should be $35 like Moto G Play 32 GB I got from Target for AT&T Prepaid.

Every carrier has dead spots. I have another line at Verizon and they have their no signal areas too. The key with T-Mo/Mint network is to make certain your phone has both bands 66 & 71. T-Mo has a detailed map showing these two band areas. I'm in Davis,CA right now and ran a speed test on my Mint line: 109 down/26 up. Fast.

What's the opinion of the N200 + 24 months for $600 or $25 a month for unlimited? The cheapest you can get a mint plan that's unlimited is $30 if you prepay for a year so this saves $120 over 2 years plus you get a phone that T-Mobile usually gives away for free.

That sounds like a pretty good deal. I'm currently on the Mint unlimited plan for $30/month. Didn't get any free phone. Also, it's not really unlimited -- it's 35GB/month plus 5GB hotspot. What I like the least is the internet speeds are too slow. Don't think I will renew when time comes.
