Data prioritization: I live in a semi-rural area, so the vast majority of the time this wasn't an issue. However, occasionally on weekends when people were home my phone data would slow to a crawl. Where it became untenable was during power outages (including lengthy ones during natural disasters). My phone data was literally useless. I couldn't even check the weather apps. This was my #1 reason for switching to an MVNO that included priority data.
Fees: US Mobile charges you the stated price, inclusive of taxes and fees. Mint's price was much higher than expected due to taxes and what seemed like extraneous fees.
So far I have much preferred US Mobile. Even though I have to use the Verizon network (slower data speeds) in order to get priority data, I haven't had any issues and it's still plenty fast. During the last major power outage I had zero issues with data. I plan to keep them when it comes time to renew.

Option 2 is to port out and back in. We usually port out to Tello on a $5 plan then switch back as a new customer in a couple of days, but I've done it same day also.
They've already hit mint plans in the head with a hammer. They must have seen it as a threat, and probably offered Ryan a deal he couldn't refuse and they've clamped down on pricing and flexibility.
I'm on google Fi right now, but my only hesitation with this is how badly they'll (mint) screw you after the first year, and I absolutely fully expect them to do so.
Sprint customers were grandfathered in on their plans, but people can't make any changes or prices literally double with T-mobile... I think TM is getting greedy...
Must use link. This is not a cash back offer. Wireless plans only are eligible for the reward, with the minimum being the 3-month plan, currently priced at $15 a month ($45 plus applicable shipping, taxes and fees). New customers only as qualified by MintMobile.com.

Maybe they thought they wouldn't need this deal and saw that they were losing business?
