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.

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

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