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.

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.
Tough to beat if you can take advantage.

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.
