the full price is $360 on their website however people have reported being offered a 'deal' to stay, however not at $180.

Trick is to go back and forth every year between cheap annual offers, some work involved with the porting and what not, but definitely worth the savings.

My current plan is to switch between Mint and Google Fi on a yearly basis for my wife and I, chasing discounts. I've been happy with both. I do notice the better signal priority on Google Fi though. I work in a very congested area, I wouldn't notice outside of that.

There are many deals posted currently on SD, as mentioned Google Fi, also Total Wireless, Visible, Red Pocket, Lyca and some others.

My personal take is, I only try to do the 12 month offers. getting a $10-15 a month for 3 months deal may be nice, but to keep dealing with port in and port outs and glitches that can arise from starting a new carrier more than 1x a year is something I have no interest in messing with.

I am currently on MINT, my year cell plan ends in early December, so I too will be shopping around then for a deal if mint won't renew me at $180 for the year. But I have no complaints about their service, been very reliable and solid whereever I've used the phone.

Community Reviews

Mint Mobile's 12 month unlimited plan stands out for low annual pricing on the T Mobile network, with solid service and decent 5G coverage in many areas. The comments also point to smooth porting in some cases, helpful online chat for account and PIN details, and occasional renewal discounts that can drop the effective monthly cost further. The main cautions are deprioritization in crowded cities, extra taxes and fees, and a 50 GB slowdown on unlimited. Porting out can take extra steps, and activation or support problems have also been reported, so it fits best when coverage is strong and the savings matter most.

  • Annual switchers who chase carrier promos, because the plan works well when you are willing to port numbers and renew each year.

  • Rural phone users who want low-cost unlimited service, because Mint stays usable with decent 5G coverage outside congested areas.

    SmilingGame714LovelyHill8754FrugalFalcon

  • Heavy data users in uncongested areas, because speeds can stay around 30 Mbps and only drop after 50GB deprioritization.

    FrugalFalconTealTerrier891

  • Unlocked-phone owners who want a straightforward activation, because Mint requires an unlocked device and eSIM activation can work smoothly.

    SUCHaDEALjustm3

  • People who need easy port-out control, because getting account and transfer details can require chat or a call and porting out can be cumbersome.

    Jason425Andrew025b21bballerRamonY

  • City commuters in dense crowds, because Mint can slow down badly in congested areas and at concerts.

  • Travelers who need reliable international service, because the international add-on can fail abroad and leave you without usable service.

  • Call-dependent households, because calls may not ring or notify reliably on the network.

Any reviews I want to use only data unlimited
I've been using this service for about six months across San Francisco and the broader Bay Area, and I can't recommend it if you are someone like me who spends a lot of time outdoors. Even on their top-tier unlimited plan, you're deprioritized to QCI 7 like most MVNOs, whereas Metro or T-Mobile Prepaid get you QCI 6. That priority difference matters immensely in dense urban crowds when you need usable data most. Factor in T-Mobile's weaker rural coverage compared to AT&T and Verizon, and it's a lose-lose.

I'd def get the Visible plan for $225 over this any day
I guess it all depends on your exact usage locations. I live near the border and Verizon service is non-existent for me

(Yes the little red map claims coverage but real life is different from their claims)

I just purchased this deal, how do I go about checking QCI 7 vs QCI 6 in my area, for reference I'm in MN twin cities?

These freaks add on so many additional fees that the final cost is more like $21 than $15

No, int'l roaming. However, I added a 10-day plan when I traveled outside the country, and it worked flawlessly. I was very impressed by the reception and data speed. I highly recommend!

MInt likes to brand itself as unlimited, but it's not the real deal. 128k snail speeds after 50gig (easily surpassed within a couple weeks or less)
50 gigs isn't easily surpassed by the average person. But I'm currently using mint mobile with 74GB used on my work phone so far and getting 30mbps in a high traffic city.

If you have the highest plan, you will only be deprioritized further (no data cap) after 50GB. This won't mean much if you don't live in a congested market. At times I reached 900+ mbps, and as low as 2mbps+ at concerts

I would greatly recommend mint if you live in rural areas. For big cities, it might be better to go for better company that offers prioritization.

Just as FYI. Most of them get deleted because their mods get paid by Mint, but you can head over to reddit now and find several instances where they refused to honor purchased SIM cards. I bought two through their website, and when I went to activate them, Mint said that they were no longer active and the refused to refund. I had to charge back through my credit card.

"Includes up to 20GB hotspot" is this monthly?
