I just switch over to Visible ($15 unlimited locked in for 12 months) from Mint. So far the LTE is faster than Mint mobile in my area.
For Visible, I get, "Your phone is not compatible." WTF?

Edit: I guess they would rather sell me the same phone I have for $100 more than I paid for mine. Not happening.

just my experience with mint

I just got mint 1 week ago.

Since day one, it has not been working at all. My phone is unlocked, i followed all the steps for the iphone and still nothing. Shows I have MINT service and LTE, but nothing works. When I try call someone , I get connected to Mint customer service, which is awful and they have provided no solutions. I live in a high density city and they confirmed in outages.

Where are you located? I've been on mint for 2 years and have noticed service lagging more and more - ready for a change and that is a sweet promo.

Make sure you have added the apn correctly. You may want to try by turning on/off wifi calling

Isn't $15 per month their regular price??
$20 a month is their "normal" price. $10 a month is what their new customer promo deals will usually get you but requires a new phone # every time (give out a google voice # and have google voice forward to whatever phone # you get..as an added bonus pick an area code that's NOT local,not in your contacts and you'll know right off if it's someone direct dialing the phone. I block the entire area code using "yet another call blocker".) The previous 6 month deal was for $60..not $90.

Switched to Visible from Mint and have had the opposite experience. Mint has continuously been 100-200mbps download speeds. I have yet to get more than 7mbps on Visible with their low tier $15 plan.

I am having similar experience with Mint Mobile. My understanding is that Mint uses T-mobile's network. And when I put in my T-mobile SIM into an unlocked device I have lying around, it works great. However, when I enter the same phone's IMEI number on Mint Mobile's website to check compatibility, it recognizes the brand model number correctly but says the device is not compatible. Confused

And yes, they also offer to "upgrade" my device and show a $100 low end device for purchase.

Wondering if I should take a chance and order the SIM kit and try it anyways in my unlocked device since I know it works on T-mobile network??

Roger thtat kay gee, thanks.. I have activated older ones from Best Buy too but it seemed the ones straight from Mint were not as forgiving. People occasionally ask me what mobile phone providor I use and I just say mint and they say ... oh the ryan reynolds company, then I tell them what I pay and their brain short circuits...
Lol. My answer varies on who is asking. For some people, I simply say T-Mobile.

since the last one ended 1/6 it's gonna be a while, and $15 a month is what they offer for 4Gb based on 12mos. so it depends on your definition of normally.

Yes Promo Code is 15OFF12 . It is truly unlimited with an unlimited Hotspot for $15 mo for 12 months then $30, but you must port in your number.
Note that hotspot is capped at 5 megabits per second and a single device only, and mobile data is capped at a percentage of what the tower near you can support, the speeds are going to be much lower than typical 5G service, and you receive lower priority than all other customers (which is normal for an MVNO). No mmwave included with the $15 plan either.

Not saying it is no good just important to know the caveats. No such thing as truly unlimited anymore. Even if you pay the extra $15 per month for their premium plan you are buying better priority (but still throttled speeds) for the first 50 gigs, after that it is cut down to low priority again. The premium plan does include mmwave without deprioritization after 50 gig but it is still throttled.
