It's not their cheapest plan, but it seems like a decent deal, and the renewal would cost you the same as the Unlimited plan (assuming you pay for the 12 months). eSIM or physical.

Costco's website:

Product Details
Limit 2 per Member

New customers who purchase Mint Mobile will get the Costco member intro rate on their first 3 months of the Unnecessarily Large Plan, plus a 12-month subscription to MINTech Advisors giving them direct access to one-on-one guidance during activation and beyond. Get unlimited talk and text plus 5G · 4G LTE data on the T-Mobile Network. And when it's time to renew, get a special discounted offer for Costco members on the Unnecessarily Large Plan on 3, 6 and 12-month plans.

Your Premium Wireless experience includes:

3 months of unlimited talk & text
Even your mom might ask you to stop calling so much.

60GB of 5G · 4G LTE data per month
Your service will switch between 5G & 4G LTE, whichever signal is stronger.

20GB mobile hotspot
Get internet access, even where coffee shops don't exist.

5G coverage on the T-Mobile Network
Mint Mobile runs on the nation's largest 5G network. Check coverage in your area: mintmobile.com/coverage (5G compatible device required)

MINTech Advisors
Not very tech savvy? Not a problem. With MINTech Advisors, you get direct access to one-on-one guidance during activation and beyond. Let our Wireless Advisors do the tech-ing for you.

Keep your number or get a new one
If you're keeping your number, let your current carrier know - you'll need your account number and a number transfer PIN.

Compatible with most unlocked GSM phones
As long as your phone's compatible with Mint Mobile's service, you're good to go. Check phone compatibility: mintmobile.com/byop

Mint Family
Do you have others joining you on your wireless journey? Mint's got you covered. It's easy to add lines to your account, with flexible data options so everyone can get the plan that's right for them (no data sharing).

Free calling to Mexico, Canada, Wrexham and the rest of the UK
Give your neighbors to the north, south, east or wherever a call, they'd love to hear from you.

Free Wi-Fi Calling
Perfect for when you're in an underground world with bad reception, but excellent Wi-Fi.

Free 3-in-1 SIM card (mini, micro, and nano sizes)
It may not seem like a big deal, but other carriers charge for this… kind of a rip-off.

eSIM or physical SIM activation options
What's the difference? An eSIM is just a physical SIM that has gone digital. If your phone is not eSIM compatible or you prefer to hold it in your hand, choose a physical SIM. If your phone is eSIM only or eSIM compatible, choose eSIM. No matter what you decide, both options save you a ton of money.

Before you buy:
1. Make sure Mint is right for you and check coverage in your area at: mintmobile.com/coverage
2. Make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible with Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/byop What does it mean to have an unlocked phone? This means your phone is fully paid off with your former carrier, and in some cases, carriers require you to call them to unlock your phone. Don't worry, a MINTech Advisor can help you with this.
3. If choosing an eSIM, check to see if your phone is eSIM compatible: mintmobile.com/eSIM

We're here to help every step of the way.
Having issues with activating your SIM or received an expired card? Contact our Care Team and they will make it right for you. Call 800-683-7392 or chat with us online or in-app.

Quote from ZEISS10 :
I've been using Mint Mobile for 3 years now, and honestly, it works better than Verizon. The only downside is that it doesn't cover Canada, so I have to get a data eSIM from another company. Mint's offer for international travel is terribly expensive.
no coverage in Mexico either, but overall it's been very good. Is their buy 3 months, get 3 month deal over for $45.?

Cricket has coverage for Canada on their Canada/Mexico plan. eSim is also available. Cricket also offers a 2 week free trial.

Yeah..

Updated title to not get the existing customers' hopes up. That'd probably annoy me if I wanted to top up/renew.

The tip. If you are not a new customer you can still enjoy the offer, buy you must change your number. If the sacrifice is worth it, go for it. If not, keep in the lookout for future plan deals.

Considered doing this for a while. Any other downside other than having to update your number for OTPs with banks, etc that don't take Google Voice?

Don't you lose iMessage functionality for your real number?

Worse call quality, missed calls, and shitty text app to name a few.

$65 for a hotspot with tiny data is now better than $60 for real service and far more data?

I've never run into any of those issues. Missed calls was miconfiguring the devices to ring, and the texting is pretty nice. Stored in google voice, and can have it be sent to email. But I don't care about bubble colors.

No issues with call quality since it can go over the normal number.

An issue I would run into was my device would ring, but be very delayed. It might only ring once before going to voicemail even though the other person heard many rings.

The texting is nice in that you can use it from multiple devices, but everything else about the experience is much worse than normal messaging apps. You can't send videos, pictures get sent as potato quality, no emotes, etc.

For call quality, so many times I had to tell the person that called me I would call them back from a different number because I could barely understand them. I'd call them back from the normal number and the sound quality was drastically improved.

Tmobile's 30GB hotspot $10/month vs. Mint 60GB data, 20GB hotspot $22/month.

I guess most people getting this don't really use its call/text services anyway. Tmobile's plan can also send/receive text, but no call.

If it's using t-mobile then why not just sign up for helium mobile? It's $20 a month and users got $14 reward yesterday for just one day of mapping rewards….

I think the Costco plan gives you more premium data (60gb) vs their normal plan. And you can keep the basically $30 per line if buying by the year for the higher data plan
