If you don't have Mint Mobile yet and looking for a pre-paid carrier, go with US Mobile. Going to sound super shilly here, but I seriously don't understand why people aren't using US Mobile in the MVNO space. I was with Mint for about 3 years after coming off of T-mobile for a few and Verizon for almost 13 years.
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 do not see a single deal of any kind for existing customers. I guess Mint is a place you go, get a deal, then leave to another carrier because once you're a customer, there are no more deals for you. Only new people. NOt a way to build customer loyalty. I'm a Mint customer, I got a deal 6 months ago. When my year is up I will leave Mint. Nothing else makes sense.

ive had rnadom isues with atleast a couple of tmobile mvnos so its probably just the service itself. this would be a pretty good deal if it wasnt attached to tmo
I live in the DC area and Mint has been good to me for 3+ years. I've heard no complaints from people I referred a couple of years ago either. Can't beat their $250 ish 15GB 12 month plan which is more than enough for me and I've never found the speed lacking though coverage can be spotty on buildings at times. Speeds consistently beat my Verizon 400Mbps home connection. Also, while Mint may not have many deals for existing customers, I've purchased two Pixels (7 and 9) over the years for half price while still on my plan which is a far better deal than most major carriers that lock you into your plan for two years. The biggest value for me with Mint is the low rate - which is among the lowest out there and that it has worked without issue. I choose what phones I bring and don't rely on my carrier for those as I usually go for phones that are out of US mainstream.
when does this phone gets unlocked , i would like to get this deal, port number and use the sim card on existing iphone and then use this phone for verizon, is it possible
I got it as well, but my online account shows me plan is paid up for 1 year instead of 2. Is it same for you?
Yes, same here. Chatted with the rep at Mint and they told me it would be corrected soon but it has been almost a week now. Likely will have to call them again.

it's not attached to tmobile. It's the only MVNO afaik that allows you to not only pick which network you want, but switch anytime.

I'm a Mint customer, I got a deal 6 months ago. When my year is up I will leave Mint. Nothing else makes sense.
So they're the same as just about every other carrier...
I used mint for a year before going to us mobile for a 6 month deal. NEVER again, it was awful. De-prioritization in a busy area meant I couldn't even make basic texts or phone calls, it was nuts. I went back to mint for awhile before swapping to visible when they had a good deal earlier this year. Everyone has different experience, try them all and stick with what's best for you.
that sucks.
but u must put in details
what network were u on?
what network did us M suggest?
Does it show itemized during checkout? I have their service and called them, they claimed we can get the deal too, but when I checkout it doesn't show any service included
Phone companies upcharging $200 for $20 of memory (retail) is crazy. I'll never buy a phone without an SD card slot
They did the same with batteries, you can no longer replace the internal battery so you pretty much have to buy a new phone. The few Pixels I tried, ended up cracking the extremely delicate screen even though I used a heat gun, was extremely careful and have a solid electronics background working with cell phones down to component levels.
