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.

If you have iphone, one reason to go with mint is you get 5G SA. For this price, 200~ including fees for a year cant be beat if tmobile coverage and qci7 is acceptable. Will likely switch to this after my promos done with Fi.

Yeah Visible is also good choice particularly if you're big hotspot user. They've had unlimited reduced speed hotspot for what seems like forever.

I just assumed you'd want to stick with T-Mobile network. Mint is Tmo, Visible is Verizon. If you're searching for the absolute best deal it again comes down to personal usage info. Big hotspot user? Visible. Frequent international traveler? US Mobile. Cheapest/lowest data user, Red Pocket.

Same with if you hate annual lock-in vs monthly. Metro by T-Mobile isn't bad month to month if you like Tmo service and Unlimited data. However the BYOD $25 plan doesn't have any hotspot usage.

I did the $180 and all they added was tax so it was $190 something
Which state? I just recently bought the unlimited plan for $180. They added $25.25 recovery fee. But it came with the Samsung A16 5G. So, it was worth..

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.
Well it's deprioritize data. Be aware of that.

I don't know if they'll have this specific deal but they should have something for Black Friday.

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.
Had Cricket's highest plan and service wouldn't even work in Mexico. They claimed it was something to do with activating prior to going or not being near towers, however, went back the next week and same issue. Out of 7 weeks in different major cities there got service one maybe two days. Absolutely terrible.

I used about 1.6TB of data this past monthly cycle. I enjoy speeds up to 1400 Mbps downstream and a couple hundred Mbps upstream. During peak congestion periods the speeds can drop to 400 Mbps until congestion period ends. Beyond that, I don't experience throttling or caps. 5G NR experience 24/7.

I highly recommend Mint Mobile.
