Once a year, I pay about $200, and for next 12 months, I have no mobile phone bill at all. Switching from AT&T to Mint cut my mobile phone spending by 80%.

I'm on Mint right now, and with the exception of having no data service in rural areas while traveling, I've had zero complaints. Except in those limited rural areas, my data speeds are very fast (typically with a 5G connection, occasionally dropping to LTE). I have tried Visible several times over the past 2 years, and every single time I regretted it. The service was horrible (in areas where Verizon's direct service is perfect), with texts not coming through, strange garbled voice calls, and numerous times I had no service at all. When I briefly switched to a direct Verizon account (with the outrageous monthly prices), all of those issues went away, so clearly Visible was the problem. No thank you, I'll stick with Mint.

Being able to pay my phone bill in advance for the year at a 3rd of what my yearly bill expense was on ATT is amazing. Switching myself and my husband to Mint is saving us a easy 1200 per year. Now we both do have older phones a iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Mini but we are hoping to get another 2-3 years out of them and even when we do have to upgrade we will still have saved money just buying them outright.

When I first joined I was under impression I had free KZfaq and music streaming under BingeOn and then they downgraded it to Music Unlimited. Heard T-Mobile prepaid had same data priority as T-Mobile postpaid plans as opposed to Metro or Mint but in my case it didn’t seem to matter when sometimes my data was very slow or unusable even under 5G when in town or concert so I might well go with cheaper Mint plans.

The only thing I gave up was international usage which isn’t a big deal. We will have to see if the low prices continue under T-Mobile but, for now, I am locked in for a while at a great rate.

You do a really great job explaining the step by step each plan. One question… what if you don’t trade a phone? I feel like Mint is better option in every case, you agree?

@StetsonDoggett Жыл бұрын

Correct! If you prefer to purchase your devices outright from the manufacturers, or buy gently used devices on Swappa, then going with Mint is a better option in every case. The postpaid plans only make sense if you also take advantage of the financing deals.

After high speed data is used up for the first three plans, can the slow 128 kps be used as hotspot?

@sparky6757 7 ай бұрын

I’ve used Mint for about a year now. No major complaints compared to my previous carrier, though the deprioritized data is annoying once in a while. Not as annoying as spending $35 a month instead of $15 though. I will say though, Tello’s $6 custom plan is pretty great for secondary devices. 500mb of high speed data and unlimited low speed data, as well as talk and text, is all you really need for a device that’s not your main one, and $6 a month can’t be beat. I used it for a month when I was transitioning from iPhone to Android, so my old phone would still have service whenever I needed it before I got my new phone completely set up.

I love how with mint you can just pay once and not worry about your phone bill for a year if you byod. I cannot understand how people are paying $100+ a month for ATT or Verizon or even T-Mobile. I hear my coworkers at work complaining about how much their phone bill is... but they always say "it's too much trouble to switch..." bruh you can save so much money. People are so weird lol

Okey! I was comparing, reviewing, reading about all carriers the past few days. This video only confirmed what I had decided, I just needed that extra push and this was it! Excited to leave AT&T and start with Mint, and a brand new phone by saving $276 per year! Just placed my order 😍 thank you for the great detailed video.

Good luck. After the trial period is over, Mint Mobile begins to “steal” cellular data. For example, I got the 15 gig plan because that’s what I’ve always had with other carriers and I never ran out. But, with Mint, I had to keep getting more and more data, because I would run out. I’m currently on their 40 gig plan and I can listen to my podcasts for about two days before I run out. And, since I had to pay up front for a full year’s service with no refund ability… I’m just screwed. Ryan Reynolds got 300 million outta the sale and continued to make bank on the commercials… but, T-Mobile turned his baby into just another cellular scam.

a quick side note, if you buy a plan and upgrade they will just charge you whatever the price increase was from your last plan, i.e paid 300 for a 12 month plan upgrade and then you only have to pay the 40 out of the 340 for the unlimited because you paid the 300 earlier.

I just switched to Mint from T-Mobile. I live overseas and all of my calling to the States is via Wifi so it's free and unlimited SMS which I use very little (I'd rather use message apps like Line or Signal). The catch is I need to connect to a hotspot which is provided by a tablet using a local SIM. By dumping T-Mobile I spend less for 2 local SIMS (dual SIM phone and a tablet) along with the Mint $15/month plan so I have solid redundancy and awesome connectivity with ZERO international costs for calls via WiFi.

I’m in my first year and the cellular data is the worst I’ve ever experienced with any carrier (and, I’ve been with just about all of them). I think (since T-Mobile bought Mint from Ryan Reynolds) they count WiFi data as cellular data, cuz I have to have Mint’s 40 gig plan just to get through one weekend (I’ve only ever had a 15 gig plan with anyone else) and I’m left with the rest of the month with nothing. And, since I’m not paid to promote Mint, I can be totally honest about how crappy it is.

Idk, deprioritized data on that Mint unlimited plan would be a deal breaker for me. T-Mobile has some crap backhaul in my market with some of these sites so you really want that higher priority. My AT&T Elite line I only pay around $38 for after tax since I got 4 lines on my account and it's served me pretty well. AT&T has lit up their C band on almost all the sites around me. I also am trying out Visible+ for a month and that service works out nicely when you get UW.
