Mint has a $15 unlimited everything plan right now as long as you commit to the 12 months.
Really, how? I thought it was $15/mo, but only for the first 3 months.

is it:
FreedomPop SIM Starter Kit ACP: Affordable Mobile Plans with Nationwide Coverage

the one on right?

no income verification needed?
Quote from WackyP :
Yeah, the one on the right. Avoid the other sim with only 10 minutes, 10 texts, and 25mb per month.

The ACP part that requires income verification is a completely different plan. The 100 minutes, 100 texts, and 100mb each month is for everybody with no income verification needed.

Since this plan uses AT&T, free wi-fi calling is included. Wi-fi calling in this case does not subtract minutes off the monthly cellular allowance of 100.
Sorry, I'm totally confused. The name of the card has "ACP" in it. I thought ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program) was for low income people (and certain designated groups). Don't they have to verify your income to make sure you qualify?

So I see how the promotion is confusing.

The promotion is that for the first 3 months, you can be on ANY plan (3 months, 6 months, or 12 months) and get the $15 price point. After those 3 months, you MUST move to a 12 month plan to keep the $15 price.

So one can actually purchase 15 continuous months total at the $15/mo rate, correct?

TextNow service is shit. They randomly deleted my number (that I paid for) for misuse - but I hadn't used the number for anything 😢
I complained and got a standard response that there's nothing they could do.
Purchase with caution ⚠️
