Of all the services Mint Mobile had the worst bandwidth by far. I don't know all the intricacies of MVNO data tiering, but Mint Mobile has to be pretty low. I'd do side by side comparisons with T-mobile and Mint (who uses T-Mobile network), and the difference was astronomical. We're talking upwards of 80-90% slower, esp. during peak hours.
I only bothered testing in the first place to confirm my suspicions that Mint Mobile throttled because I'd literally have trouble loading websites when I was out and about.
That brings us to US Mobile. They use both Verizon and AT&T, you choose. Obviously I went w/ verizon because.. well Verizon. US Mobile has done some voodoo magic by actually securing priority data, so easily 10 times faster than Mint in almost every scenario.
You can even interchangeably switch between the two networks. Here's the zinger... alot of carriers say you can do this and that, but US Mobile web and mobile app actually make it EASY to do. Practically everything is self serve in a very clear, and easy to use interface.
If you ever have to chat support, I've never waited longer than 30 seconds to connect, and have always had someone who was polite and solved whatever issue I was having.
So 1. Fastest MVNO 2. Most flexible MVNO 3. Most featureset of any MVNO 4. best App and self-service of any MVNO 5. best customer service of any MVNO... It's also actually the same price if not cheaper than most reputable MVNO (on the annual plan).
I seriously am still trying to figure out what the deal is, for now I'm not complaining and just enjoying the solid service.
Sorry, Super Shilly I know. Swear to god I'm just an enthusiastic happy customer. Just go US Mobile.

I turned off s25 and charging it with samsung OEM charger overnight.
I saw the overheat icon. Then unplug it, but the s25 still not cooling down after 2 hours, until battery runs out.
Why was the problem? This is the 2nd time. BTW, I don't use super fast charging.
Go into settings and make sure the battery options have it turn off charging when it's charged and cable is in
I'm with Mint already and have this offer available to me. So I can just buy this new Pixel 9 for $360 and immediately give it to a friend to use on whatever network?

Or the Pixel 9 can be had for $359 for current Mint Mobile users.

From my experience(SF Bay Area, my city has 100,000+ relatively flat and also I work in San Francisco):
US mobile- you can test their network with a new number for 30 days for free. I tried Dark Star(AT&T) and it was terribly slow and spotty but Warp (Verizon) was great.
Mint- I was dumb and bought 6 mo on a crazy cheap deal because the website said I have excellent coverage and I had TMO back from 2017-2020 at my house and it worked fine. I was wrong, my coverage always showed 3 bars of LTE but calls/data never worked unless I went about 1 mile down the street. I talked to Mint support who said that they would talk to TMO engineering but it never got better. After 1 mo I had to port out.
Verizon's Visible+ Legacy- I'm currently on that plan for the past year which has been fantastic network speeds(prioritized data) and coverage and home, SF and NYC (travel for work). The legacy plan was more expensive than the new offerings and only gave me 1 Global Pass, monthly. The new Visible+ offers all 12 upfront which would have been helpful when I spent 4 days in London last year.
My pixel 8 is dying and I really didn't want to buy a new phone. I did some searching and found Total Wireless (also a Verizon owned company) and I got a free iphone 13 with 3 mo of service for $165 which I'm waiting for it to deliver. I'm a simple guy, I use my phone for texts, music, work emails/slack so I'm good with an older iphone that is completely free. The device unlocks after 60 days and maybe I'll switch to US Mobile for a bit or jump back to Visible or even Total's BYOD plan for $25/mo. I'm told that Total Wireless customer service is awful so I hope I never have to reach out to them.
Best recommendation is don't lock in a 12mo plan unless you're certain you got a good price/service and to test the network in all the places you frequent and for the things you enjoy like video/social media etc.
thanks! My s22 never had this problem

Assuming you can stick with Mint for two years.
And is assuming you can stick with Mint for two years a good thing? Or is it an AVOIDED THING?
No, you need to use it on mint network for 2 months then request unlock
How about if I give it to someone who is already on Mint? No further complications or requirements?
