Metro has expanded their $25/month BYOD unlimited data offer to new number activations, prior to this promo unlimited data required porting in a number.
There is no hotspot with BYOD plan but minor tweak to apn settings if on android fixes that.

Deal is OK but I don't see the point - right now Comcast aka xFinity has 1 year free mobile line with any plan Internet, so assuming that any person needs Internet anyway, it will be better to just sign up with xFinity.

Why run this instead of Mint?
Unless you absolutely can't afford more than a single month... in which case you could go with Boost's $15 for 3 month unlimited plan and then hop when you have more money

The problem what that if you live in an area that has Fios is you have to deal with the unreliability of Xfinity, which I think is highly region dependent.
Same with Metro , in my area around New England where I think VZW customers far outnumber T-mobile I find metro to be faster .

Yeah, Mint also offers a bit of data in Canada (2/3gb I think in a month?) and unlimited calls and texts to Canada/Mex/UK from the US which is much better than nothing on Metro from the looks of it? Metro wants $5/mo just to call and text to MX/CAN even from the US.
Network sucks.I'm on it now and going back to visible before bill.Maybe usmobile.
How do you judge network performance? I have metro too and when I'm in port saint lucid for about five miles I have zero signal. Do you use a map or have tools that do the work for you?

Mint and Metro are both good choices. If you don't mind forking over for a 12 month plan. You can save around $50 your first year going with Mint unlimited that's currently on sale for $240.
Personally I have lines with both. With Metro plan I get the benefit of T-Mobile Tuesday Perks, and slightly better subsidized devices. This year I've got two $100+ Samsung A9+ tablets for $20 a piece. iPhone 14 for $175. Moto Edge 2024 for $35. A couple iPhone 13s for $35 a piece that I traded in for $250 a piece towards Mac mini and MacBook Air, Free MLB tv, Free MLS tv, 3 different $5 movie tickets. Save close to $100 on music festival passes. Free Food from a few restaurants, and yeah the list goes on.

US mobile has $19/mo unlimited, until end of this month. Promo code: Overdrive
The issue with that, it's ATT network only for that price. Huge issue right now with US Mobile failing to properly label / explain just that. They also have billing system problems where you can sign up with the promo code for any network such as Warp (Verizon) but then you'll get an email in a few days saying "The promo price you paid only applies for Darkstar network blah blah"
