Looks like the Buy 3 months Get 3 Months Free that Best Buy has been offering every October isn't coming this year. There are usually 2 deals around this time of year but this post is the only one from Best Buy so far. Not bad with all plans working out to $10-15 a month.
Best Buy has a 3-Month Mint Mobile sim/eSIM 15GB/Month + Unlimited Talk/Text + $30 Best Buy eGift Card for $60 & More + Free S&H
There's also a deal for unlimited data with a $45 Best Buy eGift card for $90.
These plans work out to $10 a month considering the gift card which can be used to roll the deal: These plans work out to $15 a month considering the gift card which can be used to roll the deal:There are also eSIMs available but the reviews are horrible. I purchased one but haven't tried activating yet. But I have used physical SIMs from Best Buy without issue and eSIMs from Mint Mobile's website without issue.

Yes that is correct 😔 I feel at&t in Connecticut is superior in the hills and valleys but willing to try other options in hopes they have advanced their services outreach.
Been using it for a year.
no complaints
Pros: no monthly bill is nice. The service is generally fine. The price is really good
Cons: there are times where you can tell your data is throttled even when you have not used your data allotment. You don't get preferred data usage even though mint is now owned by T-Mobile. The Wi-Fi calling is spotty at best. There are sometimes issues with sending RCS chat messages so you have to switch to SMS messaging. The problem is that it doesn't explicitly tell you this anywhere. That's just the hack that I found
Overall I am fairly happy simply because I was paying $130 a month for two phones on my previous plan. Now I've spent about $500 total for the last 2 years of service. For the price I cannot complain about the relatively minor issues I've had with the service. I am in Central Florida so every Network is spotty in my area.
If you're on the fence the best thing you can do is check it out for the promo. Just make sure you redeem those cards as soon as possible because once they expire that is it you will not be able to get them to activate something after your 45 days is up!

DEADPOOL is going to run mint mobile into the ground
My understanding is that he's sold mint mobil to t mobile
I pay at&t $84 a month per month for a phone I bought outright 3 years ago. I get 9gb per month of data.
I want to keep my same number, upgrade my phone and pay less than $80
Thanks!

Q1 Wireless processes the rest so that's a good thing. Read all the horror stories on Reddit.
This isn't a Mint problem. I have Tmobile and I've had that problem for awhile.

I remember my dad's $200/mo "car phone" that stuck to the front windshield or something lol.
