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.
Mint can deliver strong T-Mobile-based coverage when local T-Mobile service is good.
Mint can keep data usable during congestion by slowing speeds rather than applying throttling caps.
Mint can support 5G NR availability and hotspot use for streaming while traveling in Mexico.
Mint can still come out near the advertised annual cost after paying only tax in some checkouts.
Mint can add substantial taxes and fees on top of the $180 upfront amount.
Mint service quality can vary by location because it relies on different tower infrastructure than other carriers.
Mint can deprioritize data during congestion, which can lead to very slow service or emergency mode.
Mint may require extra steps for number porting, including having an active plan to avoid buying another 3-month plan.

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.
