Quote from Medic311 :
what is a recovery fee?
Mumbo-jumbo for additional *optional* charges, applicable to renewals, too.

What the lawyers wrote for their T&C:

10.1 Recovery Fee. The Recovery Fee is assessed by Mint Mobile to help recover Mint Mobile's administrative and certain other costs associated with complying with various federal, state, municipal, local, and other governmental programs, statutes, regulations, taxes, fees, and charges, now in force or enacted in the future.

The Recovery Fee is calculated as a flat, per-plan fee (refer to table below), plus an additional 2.5% of the plan cost which is applied to help recover other administrative fees.

Quote from EdFromOhio :
Google Voice is simply a free service where you have your own phone number that you give to everyone. It can run from a phone, tablet and/or computer. You can call and text from that number using only data, and nobody has any idea that it's not your actual phone. The "base number" is your cell phone's actual number that you wouldn't need to use at all, so it wouldn't matter if it changed.

I've done this for years because my employer provides me a cell phone but I wanted to keep my personal number separate. So I ported it to GV and have the best of both worlds using the same phone. If I leave this company, my GV number is unaffected. It also works great when in a foreign country because you only need a WiFi connection to use your GV service as if you were at home.
Yes, it's great and there is no threat to your unique number that stays with you forever, no loss to deal with and use it on all your other website accounts for (2A) verification etc.

HOWEVER, I have discovered while you can use GV as your permanent number on any accounts on other sites/accounts for authentication etc, accounts like Coinbase doesn't accept GV and requests "real" cell number if it comes to 2F authentication (coinbase system detects VOIP numbers and dont all9w to add to youraccount). It is a great downside for me because I could lose my number due to non']payment or renewal etc, then I am stuck with 2F authentication that they sometimes do on spot.


Also, on another topic, this Mint (TM only) or US Mobile (all major cellular)?

Just use a Google Voice number for everything, and the base phone number won't matter.
what would be your WhatsApp number in that case

Taxes and fees should have been disclosed before you checked out/submitted. Network coverage is localized and that's on you.

I am AT&T 16gb a month prepaid service in Atlanta. It is so bad I can't connect to internet with a decent speed inside mall or grocery store. How is your mint mobile experience during these situations?

Passive aggressive much? Your shill comment is on YOU. I didn't say anything about coverage, I'm saying that the data deprioritization is painfully obvious and obnoxious and I didn't have that before. Like buffering on YouTube videos on the lowest quality setting. Also distortion on calls even though it shows good signal ("coverage"). I thought people like me that were on the fence should know that it's not good and with all the network options you get with US mobile it's the better choice. I'll have to deal with this for a year but maybe it will help someone not make the same mistake. So the next time you see a comment like this that your sponsor doesn't agree with just move on. This is or was supposed to be a community of people helping people get deals on things and avoid things that may be cheap but are not actually good at all. In this case mint is neither cheap nor good.

Discover 5% CB covers this. Got ~$10 from this. And possibly another couple bucks from the purple site.
