Community Reviews

Mint Mobile is a strong low cost annual plan for people who have solid T Mobile coverage and want unlimited talk, text, data, and 20GB of hotspot use. The service is praised for holding up well over years of use, with fast speeds in some areas and less throttling in busy places than some alternatives. The main catch is that performance depends heavily on location because Mint is deprioritized on the network, and taxes and fees can push the real total well above $180. It is a practical year long option if the local network fit is right.

  • Travelers staying on T-Mobile-covered streets and suburbs, because Mint rides that network and can work well when local T-Mobile coverage is strong.

  • Heavy hotspot users who only need modest tethering, because the plan includes 20GB of hotspot data and can be a strong value for a year.

  • Phone owners who want to lock in a full year of service, because paying upfront can protect against later price increases and avoid frequent carrier switching.

  • iPhone owners who want 5G SA on a T-Mobile-based plan, because this service can provide that feature at a low annual cost.

  • Shoppers comparing total annual cost across carriers, because taxes and fees can add a meaningful amount to the advertised price.

  • People who need consistent performance in weak-coverage areas, because the connection can drop to no bars and emergency mode when deprioritized.

  • Drivers and commuters who need reliable data in congested public places, because the connection can get heavily throttled in stores and restaurants.

  • International travelers who need Mexico or Canada included, because those trips can require an extra pass with limited data.

as for the concern, even with Taxes/Fees, still is the best annual plan out there cost wise on a well known and highly rated carrier. even at $17-19 a month factoring in all fees you mention. Don't let that disuade you from pulling the trigger. You simply aren't going to pay less for a years 'deluxe' service with 20gb of hotspot per month. Note, the taxes do vary by state.
It may or may not be depending on the person's situation. Visible has their best plan for a year for $225 right now and if you already have FIOS at home, you get a $15/m credit as well. So that's basically $3.75/m for an unlimited plan that includes 24 days of international service as well.

Tough to beat if you can take advantage.

Get Visible or US mobile where taxes fees are already in the price, so you dont get the gotcha by balls feeling with other carrier that tack on the fees later. Side note: What hells a universal fee? We paying taxes for aliens to use cell phones?

Last time I tried Mint for 45 days i was put off by the deprioritized data and also taxes/fees. I ended up with Visible which has been way better. If you truly want T-Mobile MVNOs get Google Fi or US Mobile Light Speed for actual prioritized data.

Can't speak to the verizon bundle credit, you can also bundle WIFI with Mint for a discount too.

Just talking straight phone service only, they are on par, the issue being for many on SD, they allseem to be for these one year promo prices, so many are going to flip flop around carriers 1x a year. so if you are on Visible right now and a promo one year price is ending, this is a good option to swtich to.

I completely agree. Long time mint customer. Now they are the bottom of chart deprioritized. No bars most of the time, hits emergency mode.

It's been this price for the last 3 months.
It's because this person just does nothing but repost things for internet points. It's annoying when trying to find new deals.

As an alternative, Cricket has a 3 month and 12 month plan and all taxes and fees are included. I got their 3 month plan at $15. month ($45. total and no taxes/fees), unlimited everything and getting fast 5G speeds. Includes unlimited Mexico and Canada. With Mint you need to buy an additional international pass and that's an additional $20. for 10 days and limited to 10GB data. I'll be taking this Cricket line to Mexico in a few months as At&t is strong there.

sorry mint i gotta wait 1 yr for a few of my metro phones to sim unlock since you all made it 1 yr instead of old 2 months. as i broke my unlocked phone with water damage so grabbed a few cheap metro phones. i also have visible at 15 per month used right now as hot spot will have to wait for a bit until i get an unlocked phone for sub 100 dollars on promotion ideally flag ship no greater than 200 all in cost then yes i can consider it else no.

with ai slop and hallucinations increasing the cost of chips you all can wait as we have no money to migrate as well since you made it harder. deal with it more waste as since more restrictions on efficiency so corporations can provide NEGATIVE VALUE
