I had Mint for one year until about 6 months ago. Two things made me switch to US Mobile: data prioritization and extra fees significantly increasing the price at renewal.

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.

Not really! There is a $25 "recovery fee" and other fees which might bring the mint deal within a few dollars of the visible one

When you go to this page, it states at the bottom T&C this is only for new customers. If you login to your account and try to find the discounted plan it is non-existent. If you know a workaround please let us know. Thanks.

Was on Mint and happy. But then I read all of the SD reports of how great US Mobile is. Well, it's not been like having Verizon postpaid at all. Feels deprioritized. Upload speeds are terrible. T-Mobile isn't even that strong in my neighborhood, Verizon has a tower closer and phone shows more signal strength. I plan to switch back at end of prepaid year.

I also bought a 3 month plan but I haven't activated yet. Were you able to get a refund?
Trying to figure that out. I messaged a mint customer service person on reddit who seems pretty active so I'm hoping they respond.

Is the hotspot limited on the unlimited plan?
No it's not 10GB on unlimited plan and 20GB on unnecessary Plan that just comes with higher data speeds

I also switched to USM -- note they support all three carriers. On the highest tiered unlimited it's free to switch between Verizon (Warp), AT&T (Darkstar) and TMobile (Light Speed) -- but only Warp has no deprioritization.

I was on USM using Verizon as carrier on esim. Often the signal would go dead without a warning and I had to put it in airplane mode and back to resolve. I didnt notice it on a physical sim. they are slowly increasing or putting a price on those they offered free.

if i ported my mint mobile number out to a different provider , will i be considered a new customer?

Yes, if you port your number out to another carrier, you are considered a "lost customer" or "former customer" to your previous cell phone company, essentially making you a new customer to the carrier you ported your number to, even though you kept the same phone number; the service is now provided by a different company.
Key points to remember:
Number portability:
The process of transferring your phone number to a new carrier is called "number porting" and is allowed by the FCC.
No longer a customer:
Once your number is successfully ported, your old provider will no longer be providing service to that number, meaning you are no longer considered their customer.
New customer with new provider:
When you port your number to a new carrier, you become a new customer with them, even if you are using the same phone number

Another Google voice user here, I carrier hop and never have to port my number. I went from Tmobile 3 lines for $100 a month to $624 for 3 lines for a year with Mint on the same towers.
Can you explain more please?

I don't know why they didn't do this for black Friday or Cyber Monday. I ended up going with the Red Pocket deal and now I wish I had waited. I haven't received the Red Pocket Sim yet What to do, what to do?

Maybe they thought they wouldn't need this deal and saw that they were losing business?
I was in the same situation, but it looks like taxes on this deal make it a more costly option if you are staying under the data limits
