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.
this is wrong the s25 not + IS $720 for 2 years 30mouth times 24=720 phone is free mint upfront / lets look at t mobile same phone 90 mouth x 24=2160// Verizon same phone 100 mouth x 36=3600 people please look at the deal upfront this is the way to go if you can. The s25 seals for about 575 and 30 mouth no caps taxes included and 10gb hot spot 5g wow this is a good deal REMAMBER NOT S25+ MOOR MONEY IST THE S25. look like i phone 14 small but nice if you want bigger use a i pad gb 128 no big deal
Would have gone for this deal if I wasn't locked into AT&T for another 1.5 years and they have removed some of the discounts so they screwed me. Can't wait to get off AT&T.
This is true im getting like 30mps down and 2mb upload testing it right now in middle of the major city . I also have mint I dont really use much data other then some pandora when im out on a run so didnt care much about it since im paying 15$ a month .
I have Verizon and live in the suburbs. I would murder a baby seal for 30 down 2 up. I can't even make phone calls in the 5 block radius of the house. Time to switch to mint. That said, mint might not work at all and would like to test (but can't)
Adding some more info to this thread for others like me, who may be considering a jump to lower their bills. I have been with TMobile since 2003. Had, that is. When they added the $5 per line, even for FREE lines and costs simply crept up over time, I decided it was time to move on but wasn't sure who to move to.
I used to pay $120 for Magenta 2lines, plus had free Netflix. So 2 lines and Netflix for $120 was great imo. Even scored 2 free lines over the years and was still $120 for some time.
-Then they tacked on some Netflix cost increases (fair)
-Then they halved the Netflix benefit resulting in offsetting $7.99 ad-free Netflix only when that plan was introduced, lowering our benefit quite a bit.
-Then they dropped Credit Card payments (saving them a rumored 2%, costing us CC points)
-Then recently bumped costs by $5 per 'line' EVEN IF A FREE LINE increasing my bill by $20mo overnight, $240 a year, regardless of usage patterns. I had 2 free lines (4 total).
-Finally, legacy plans simply got cut out of phone upgrade paths in order to get you to move forward to the new and worse plans where they could add new costs (taxes/fees no longer included...).
I am not a heavy internet user. GPS, text, light data, music streaming and I'm good. I'm usually always near wifi anyway. I'm an ideal candidate for MVNO carriers I'd say. Decided to jump and score a new phone in the process (something TMobile was never going to offer 20yr customers even). Been with Mint about 2 weeks now and I've zero complaints. I see the lower speeds (speed testing) but... do I 'notice' it? No. My practical usage doesn't need 1080 video over cellular, or heavy data at all. I need coverage, where I had coverage before (hence Mint, in my case)
My new math is...
$75mo for 2 lines with Mint + Premium Netflix separately (if prices hold/yearlong commitments continue)
$138mo for 2 lines + Premium Netflix upgrade with TMobile (if I had cancelled my 2 FREE lines)
That's $60+mo in savings, not factoring in the free $800 phone, which will last me 3years, easily (my normal upgrade timeline)
I know TMobile's coverage well, so Mint made sense for me. I've 'felt' zero difference so far between the services, as I use them. The process to jump over to Mint couldn't have been easier. Their welcome kit was great.
If you're a light and maybe even moderate usage user, who can probably accept random bouts of semi-slowness, MVNO's may be a great way to save a good chunk of money, on top of the $800average for a current tier phone. I was skeptical, but so far, notice no real difference.
The S25 they shipped to me had zero branding, logo's or Mint app's installed of any kind. I was curious about this too. It's an off the shelf S25, no different than buying an unlocked phone and using it with another carrier.

Nice!
If it were a Flip 5/6, I would have jumped on it!
I do not need that much data - currently I pay $288 with taxes for 24months.

No, the $720 is before various taxes of roughly $85 in California (my total was about $805).
