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.

Common Questions (5)

  • The advertised $180 price is not always the final total because taxes and fees are extra. Reported out-the-door totals range from about $190 to about $206 depending on state and local charges, so the effective monthly cost can land around the high teens.

  • Mint can be deprioritized, so speeds may slow in congested areas like stores or restaurants. Some users report very fast 5G speeds and usable hotspot data, while others see heavy slowdowns or poor service depending on location and tower load.

  • Mint Mobile runs on T-Mobile's network, so coverage and performance depend on how strong T-Mobile is in your area. In good T-Mobile areas it can work well, but service can vary by location and may be deprioritized during congestion.

  • It appears to be aimed at new Mint lines, and the exact non-customer waiting period is unclear. A practical workaround is to contact Mint before switching, since each phone number is treated as its own line and may qualify if it is new to Mint.

  • You can get both through Mint's chat by asking for a representative instead of the bot's scripted prompts. The line must still be active to port out, and if you wait too long you may need to buy another 3-month extension because Mint does not offer 1-month extensions.

If I currently have Mint and port my number out to a different carrier for a month can I then port my number back in as a new customer?

Or have my wife sign us up?

My mom has had mint mobile for years and it's worked well. Mint is a reseller for T-Mobile network so if you have good T-Mobile coverage in your area then you should have good Mint coverage.

Back in May I switched from mint to visible. I will most likely switch back to mint next May assuming they have a similar promo. Visible I got more high speed data and hot spot (which I don't use much of) but In public places (stores restaurants etc) my data really gets throttled unlike Mint did for me. I was with mint 4-5 years and normally end of the year your service is ending you ask for a discount on the 360$ they wanted and you get one but this year they would not and visible had 225$ I believe for the highest tier plan so I switched. Mint imo is a much better service than what I have now.

Since Visble (verizon) and Mint (tmo) use different towers, it's even "likely" to have different levels of service. A customer in a different location could have the exact opposite experience.

Please note "Taxes & Fees Extra" in the post. I had T-Mobile before switching to Mint. T-Mobile advertised prices are exactly how much you'd pay OTD (taxes & fees already included in the advertised prices). When switching over to Mint, I didn't pay attention to the "Taxes & Fees Extra" because I wrongly assumed their billing system was similar to T-Mobile since they use T-Mobile network. So my $20/month plan became close to $25/month after taxes & fees. My son's $15/month plan became close to $19/month. That's almost 25% extra in taxes & fees, which is ridiculous in my opinion. Anyway, this deal requires $180 up front. Expect Mint to add around $36 - $40 to it in your final bill. Take this into consideration when comparing with other carriers. Hope this helps my fellow SD'ers.

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.

I did the $180 and all they added was tax so it was $190 something

not sure how long you have to be a 'non' customer to get this deal. Typically 30 days isn't enough. you should google the answer, not sure their policy on being considered 'new' again.

Some people on previous threads have mentioned talking to MINT prior to making a switch and they have worked with people to give them a deal. not sure if it is this cheap, but if your renewal is going to be $360 for the year certainly worth the phone call to see if they can do anything for you.

as long as each line you move over is 'new' to Mint, no limit I'm aware of. Each number is its own billing and account # to my knowledge, not sure you can order say 3 or 4 lines of service on one ticket at the link. But you can definitely do them one at a time.

True, but the thread goes dormant and people's need based on their current plan and contract period is a huge factor or getting a price increase on TMO. If your present 'cheap' plan is a one year plan getting ready to expire, you're shopping around now, versus back in June since you're not going to forfeit 3 or 4 months of prepaid service.

So there's always a time sensitive factor to having this in HD on people's radar based on their own situation.
