That's a joke. Mint is using TMobile network and surprisingly at times ahows better network coverage than the real TMobil plan customers.
That's not true. I love Mint, but you need to be aware of the two main limitations:
1. You receive lower priority than T-Mobile and Google Fi customers. For me, the impact is rare, but I do see it from time to time.
2. You can't roam onto AT&T like T-Mobile customers can, so they get better coverage in some areas, though this roaming is becoming more and more rare, so not a huge concern.

Mint will give you at best equal coverage and speed as "real" T-Mobile. Again, this usually isn't a big issue, but it is a consideration. For example if you drive Uber for a living, getting an MVNO that gives priority data (Visible, US Mobile Warp plan, Google FI, etc) is probably a better idea than using Mint or any of the others that use T-Mobile's network (besides Google who somehow got priority, they don't offer that to any other MVNO).

Thanks. I wasn't aware of this QoS quota. I have never been affected with it so far( been with Mint since 2018). My wofe has a TMo plan from her work and in some areas of FL, Ohio and Virginia I noticed her phone having worse coverage than mine. I don't think it was device specific issue everytime

T-Mobile has been rapidly rolling out new bands so an older phone (even 4-5 years old) may have worse coverage on both Mint and T-Mobile. Some phones just have better radios than others too (several Google Pixel models had notoriously bad reception).

Could be as simple as her needing to get a new SIM card. I replace my e-SIM every year since they're changing things so frequently, and it is free to do. To get the best reception on T-Mobile (or Mint, or any of their MVNOs) you need a phone AND SIM that support the UC and Long Reach 5G bands (and in reality it should be one that supports all of the bands they use, which most phones made since 2020 or so should, but you need to check to be sure).

Almost certain it is device/SIM related, since if anything T-Mobile would have better coverage/speed than Mint, all else being equal.

Would it count if I load $90 to my mint wallet?
Yes, but you won't be able to use the $90 for plan renewal. Wallet is only for add-on service.

No, you are wrong, wallet can be used for plan renewal, but you need a balance of at least plan required to apply to renewal.

The last time I renewed with wallet balance it wouldn't do it online. Had to call the rep to override it. Used to work but this might have changed recently.

I don't see the option to add more than $20. Tested the website as well and there is no option to edit that value. Yesterday the website was not reachable for hours; maybe they updated the system to not let users edit $20 amount.

You edit the URL, changing the 20 value to 90.

Last time I loaded the wallet about a year ago, it would not let me to renew the plan. I had to call the customer service and escalated to the manager to allow the exception. Just share my experience. I don't know if they have changed it now to allow plan renewal, but you are welcomed to try it.

It worked for me in November last year and the year before with no help required from customer service. I quoted from their policy, and if it doesn't work then you can always point to that while dealing with customer service.

Glad that it worked out for you. It didn't for me, but like I said, it was long resolved when I escalated to the manager over one year ago.

Added $90 to wallet (by clicking on "add $20 to wallet" and then changing the "20" in the URL to "90". ) Amex charge went through for around $95 including tax. Now waiting to see if I get the $45 credit.

Edit. …. 20 hours later, I got the email from Amex… "congrats, u used your mint mobile offer".

Edit again…. $45 credit showed up on my Amex account this morning.

Relax, it does not work on wallet reload. They fixed it. I used this offer several times in the past. Activated and used it few days ago to reload wallet and it did not trigger confirmation email and deposit.
I did a wallet reload yesterday. Today, I got email confirmation from Amex that I used the offer.
