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.
I have a Pixel 8 Pro and I absolutely cannot stand that phone. How Google can make a device that has laggy, glitchy and frequently crashing apps of their own brand and is still popular, is beyond me.
To say a phone is bad and just say crashing apps is ridiculous. If a app crashes unless a large amount of people are having the dame issues it's usually something the users phone doing something in the background. I would look at that first. Most apps run in the background unless there shut off or even better removed. Storage would be next. Location in reference to the tower your phones bandwidth can connect to. So many other things but i. The end the reset will work.
Does anyone know if you can use the 2-year unlimited plan on a different phone that you port in?
My wife and I are currently on T-Mobile. I have an old phone that I would replace with this S25, but I just need 5gb/month. My wife has a nice iPhone though that she would port over, and the unlimited plan would be good for her.
I switched from Verizon to Mint and got much faster data. Probably just depends where you live, but you couldn't pay me to go back to Verizon. Many times I couldn't even load Google on Verizon. Mint has been flawless. This is a sick deal. You probably can't even get 6 months of service from Verizon for the same price as 2 years and a brand new phone on Mint.

Yeah you can keep the plan and use it with whatever phones you have. Try booting up those Mint phones with existing tmobile SIMS. Mine was unlocked instantly and its easier to sell an unlocked phone
Has Samsung fixed the green line problem on their StupidAMOLED screens? Got them right now on my '20. Also wild that they now charge a $200 premium for an added 128gb. No wonder they removed SD slots

I had Verizon for over two decades, and back then, they were the best. Now they are pretty substandard in my area and my recent trip. We have somewhat modern phones and usually only get one bar at our home with abysmal speed. I even have a mid-tier plan for my phone. I did the T-mobile test drive, and even though we only got one to two bars, the speed was exponentially faster. About 5 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps. Furthermore, on our 4 hour trip, mostly on highways or other major roads, we only had one bar mostly. On many smaller two lane roads, we had no signal at all. For reference, we went from Greenville, SC to Savannah, GA.
I am considering Google FI as I have read that they are the only MVNO that is not de-prioritized on T-mobile's network.
LOL. Your loyalty should be tied to whether you actually like the product or service. If the only thing keeping you around is freebies, then you're just a net loss to them. I swear, 99% of you have no clue how things like customer acquisition costs, retention, or profit margins work. You act like discount decisions are made on a whim, based on feelings. They're not. It's math. Or you just seriously overestimate the value of your $15 a month.
you might be over-reaching

Looks like the phone is already unlocked (used my tmobile Sim to boot up the phone).
Selling the phone for like $500 so $190/year isn't too bad.
