The title is misleading then.

You can tell all this when in the first few seconds he says " use my affiliate link "

Should be more like “this is why people switch to Mint Mobile”

Overall Visible is better

Clickbait. Anyone SERIOUSLY considering switching to Mint is looking for any and all warnings.

Sure thing, glad to help and yeah VPN's are a so helpful with that. 👍🏾

is that on the unlimited plan too that the video quality is downgraded?

@@b1gkeeshyes ditto the question

@@evertonsway Which pre-paid service is best for folks who don't have credit cards to pay online?

This issue is not just Mint Mobile. I tried different carriers and mostly of what I saw is 480p video on most carriers I tried. VPN does work wonders if you want better resolution.

I love it

Save even more on your auto policy if you're good with paying by the year.

​@@evertonsway I did not think I would but if you just throw 15 bucks a month into a little savings account on a digital wallet when the 6 months rolls around you have the next payment if you're scraping for cash or dont think you'll have it.

No such thing as unlimited data and I'm not sure how mobile companies get away with outright lying about this. You'll get 40GB/m of usable speeds then you'll be deprioritized to 3G which is basically unusable.

40Gb of data on their Unlimited Plan then it’s slowed down, the highest they offer is a plan called Unnecessary plan which gives 60GB

Can you add Unnecessary plan to one line and not another if you are doing a family option with someone who doesnt require as much data?@@evertonsway

Definitely! It's a good service

@@evertonsway Thanx Bro, I will severely keep mint mobile in mind😁👍👍

Yes you can, you can use all of your plans data for tethering except the unlimited and unnecessary plans

@@evertonsway Thank you!

The unnecessary plan gives you 60gb of data, 20gb of that can be used for hotspot

All plans will optimize down to 480p unfortunately. But a VPN solves that. Check out Google One-cheap and I pay for it with Google Rewards surveys

@@evertonsway Sounds good, I already have Google one, but I just read they are shutting down the VPN, but I also have PIA VPN so should be able to do something with that, appreciate the reply!

I just read that after your post. Sigh another google feature bites the dust

Also.. ? Seems may not be switching back to wifi automatically? Therefore using more cellular?🤔

Most phones have a feature to measure how much data you use. Reset it on the first of a month and then look at it on the last day of the month. Maybe do that for two or three months to get an average. Looking at my phone, I've used 49GB since 22 September, so I'm not a power user by any stretch. That's like 12GB/month give or take. You would have to check with your phone maker (Apple or Android) to see how to reset it for your device. If on an iPhone it's Settings -> Cellular and at the bottom of the dialog you can turn on Cellular Usage Statistics as well as reset them. Near the top, you can see Cellular Data and see how much you've used for the current period, which will be since the last time you reset the stats. If you already have months and months of data, just do the math. I'm sure Android offers the same, but I cannot tell you how as I don't have an Android phone. There are probably KZfaq videos for both iOS and Android.

So GPS data is very low usage. I doubt 30hrs GPS would use 5gb of data. So I think you are more than good with the 20gb plan. If you were to exceed it, the mint mobile service after you use the allotted is enough to use GPS, maybe not a lot else but gps will work regardless

@@evertonsway. Really appreciate your reply. Have a nice day.

You as well!

Hey! For the VPN, it’s primarily to hide your internet activity. Carriers sometimes slow connection on media sites (KZfaq, Netflix, Hulu, etc.) if you use a vpn, your carrier cant put those limits in place. The recovery fees are not included in the plan although there is a way to get around it if you pay for your plan with referral credits. They are also relatively low in cost.

If you use offline maps then no usage of data but also map media uses very data in general

@@evertonsway thanks

maps uses very little data

@@JEK oh ok

Love that you have that real of experience for different carriers. I was looking at getting T-Mobile Internet. It's not available at my location yet but glad to know your experience with it

@@evertonsway streight talk has home internet but i dont know if its worth the trouble since it has caps. Verizon is another home internet to check out.

So for Canada and Mexico it has roaming included. There is something called MInternational where you can buy a pass but it's expensive and not worth it in my opinion

Thank you. I'm shopping around and Tello seems to be the only provider that has a cheap option for people who don't need data for a smartphone and don't want to pay for more minutes than they need. 🤔 Very customizable.

Did not know about the data rollover.

We've had problems with Tello. Me, my mom and sister moved from Cricket for cheaper/customizable plans. Two separate months my mom's phone disconnected from Wi-fi and accidently used up her data at home. Not Tello's fault by any means, but when her data was gone, it was GONE. Not slowed down, just no internet AT ALL without Wi-fi. The 1st time this happened they also cut off her text messaging even though its supposed to be unlimited. She could literally only make phone calls for 3 weeks. We've also had problems with calls connecting. Not dropping, just connecting. Text messaging is also very un-reliable. I'll text my sister when I get off work, asking if she wants me to pick something up for supper, with no response, because she won't get my text. Since I know this happens so often now, I'll call her. Then the call won't f*cking connect. So, I'll drive home and magically when I walk through the door, her phone goes off, finally receiving my text. The first couple of months, we didn't have any issues, but then all of these came about. I'm just sick of it, which is why I'm thinking about Mint Mobile.

I've done a video on visible on the channel. Feel free to check it out

Welcome bro!

They don’t use 3g towers, it’s the equivalent of 3g speeds

DONT DO THE INSURANCE FROM MINT!! it’s awful… that’s the only negative from mint! I had to switch to Apple care. Other the. That MINT IS AMAZING!!

@@teddyriefke4740 Buy a phone you can afford to replace. Insurance on a phone that MIGHT be expected to work for 5 years is a terrible investment. Put $10 a month into a piggy bank add $150 to that stash when you need a new phone and insure yourself

Insurance for a phone is a scam no matter who you get it through. The price is never worth it.

​@@andrewr7982 I'd rather spend a couple hundred bucks to replace my phone than have to buy a whole new $1300 phone

​@@andrewr7982all insurance is a scam! Unless someone actually has special needs or circumstances. Government requiring it is overstep and more double taxation w/o representation, but We should be Use to that by now....

With eSIM you keep the number the sim is digital but you keep your #

@@evertonsway ok and then so if I switch from e sim to physical that dosnt change the number Right also?

​@@thaguy7732 you can still keep your number if you switch from esim to physical sim. I did it and kept my number.

The bill for the phone, use the account #, and contact XFINITY to get the porting pin. Then come to MINT Mobile and port your number over.

@@evertonsway Thanks for your quick response, but is it possible to use Mint for both my phone and PC, and at what cost?

You have to make sure the phone is unlocked, you need a porting pin and account # if you want to bring your number. Check phone compatibility here: www.mintmobile.com/byop/

Sorry that's happening. 2 options, contact customer care to see if there is a fix. If not and you are in the buyers remorse period of 7 days, they'll refund you all your money

I'm glad you're here! Yeah I'm hoping for the same. Keep the prices LOW

T Mobile bought Mint last year. Mint hasn't changed, so far. I just renewed for 2024. Same price for last 3-4 yrs.

@@kenjordan5750 The deal was announced last year, but the FCC just approved the sale.

They have a 7 day buyers remorse. Definitely take advantage if it doesn't work in your location

Thank you for sharing that. It helps those of us who have considered a switch.

Very welcome!

It's actually great! The midband data penetratea through buildings better. So parking garages and other places with building structures it works EXCELLENTLY!

Unlimited for Mint is 40gb and Mint did update advising for $15 you get 5gb and for $20 you get 10gb additional

Sounds lame too

It's beyond insane to me, it's 2024, and we're still talking about limited/unlimited plans. It should be unlimited by default, it costs virtually nothing to send data.

The purchase hasn't gone through yet. If Metro by T-Mobile is better, then that's definitely good you have a better solution. Mint for me has remained relatively same.

Hey yeah they do. I hate fees. The recovery fee is $6.86 for 3 months for the $75 5gb plan

​@@evertonswayall networks charge recovery fee. No customer likes fees. Those Fees are there with another name. Thats the trick.

Major carriers charge a lot more fees.

But other no-contract carriers (like Cricket or Visible) don't. When they advertise a plan is $30 per month, it's $30 per month.

​@PsychoPhil42 Have you tried cricket and that other one you mentioned? How are they? We're paying almost $200 a month for 2 phones. We're so broke. I've had to turn off satellite, get on gov programs, call and call for help to pay utilities, etc. Husband worked at Schwan's for 24 years, and diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2018 and it's been exhausting and our soul's need big solace and help. I've always been the advocate for others and I'm too tired now, no energy. So now I need one, because my husband still needs help... it doesn't end.

You gotta make the best choice for you!

Att keeps raising my bill I just got the 55 age discount went from 120 for 2 lines now it's 150.. ?? I have unlimited, att service is great but the billing sucks I'm pre paid

That's a valid point!

That's what happened to me on seven day trail. But I gave them another chance and loved them. The only thing I don't like I can't use built in visual voice mail on my Nokia XR 21. But like pixels the mail is dependent on carrier

Minimum. They only sell plans in bulk

I thought after the initial three months I could sign up monthly as long as it was automatic with my debit card on their App?

@@lanceburke6236 Three months, six months, or one year renewals. You can't do just one month with Mint, automatic renewal or not.

Very Welcome!

It's a cool service if the coverage works out

I do use WiFi sometimes

I don't have that experience. For me it's been solid

That's a wild place to be trying to use 5G 😂

I doubt T-Mobile will make it worse. It's already gotten better!

Yeah location is so important! Have you looked into Visible? It’s a great deal and you don’t have to bulk pay

Cricket sucks in my area. Used to be great. But than went bad. Apparently they only have one tower now up here.

Wow, give them more $ for service that not performing well in your area. Wow. Yeah I always test drive a service before I commit nowadays. All about location!

Genius! You just give me a strategy with the two different carriers

Lol about your other phone set on silent and not knowing the number. Thanks for the info enjoyed reading your comment.

Does this work if well if you're an uber driver?

Do you have to change the sim card?

Oh ok, did you got with WARP or GSM 5G?

Verizon works better in my area so I went with the warp 5g ​@@evertonsway

Verizon works better in my area so I went with the warp 5g.

Yesssss that’s why I’m leaving

That’s what’s up!

💪🏾

Then this is PERFECT or you

Wow I’m sorry that’s occurring. I know when you transfer carriers you sometimes have to reregister Zelle but after that it should work. I use Zelle as well with mint. I do think the service in your location does suffer. I would definitely look at changing carriers if the service is that bad.

That sucks! The buy-out hasn't officially taken place yet though

@@evertonsway no, what I have noticed is when I am in congested locations now. I have no data service practically I have nothing and I haven't even used up all my data to even to beat de prioritized

I noticed that as well! Same situation! My data is practically unusable when I am in a high traffic area. They really need prioritized data! I'm glad you said that I thought it was local to where I am.

It’s a captivating title and thumbnail … notice the “?!” In the thumbnail…punctuation matters 😂

I can appreciate the strategy😅 thanks for the review

You're not lying 😂

I use an app called "My Visual Voicemail"-by T-Mobile USA in the playstore, on my Galaxy s23 and it works for me

Any carriers in mind?

@@evertonsway I'm giving Boost infinite a try found out too late they're not boost mobile but under the same umbrella.😔

Me too!

Yeah they did. Thankfully no socials or non public information was exposed. only name phone email and IMEI was exposed. A lot of companies have suffered some form of a breach

@@evertonswayyes IMEI. If you ever give out your IMEI or if someone has it, they can easily remote hack you just by having it and have access to your phone.

They can track you, but they can't do much else. They can attempt to upgrade but they'd have to have an abundance of additional information to attempt to execute a sim swap etc., but just to be clear, they can't hack your device. Control it in any way etc

😲

It's unlimited when it comes to slower speeds. That's how they hook customers. Because they truly think it's unlimited high speed data

@@evertonsway I just ported my landline over to Mint last week. Saved $70/mo. Was paying $43 for local and $43 for long distance on the landline. The only service I lost was ability to fax. Now I scan the doc and attach the jpg to an email, instead.

Well this comment needs so much correction, so already disclosed I'm an affiliate of mint, so yeah... Secondly the plan explicitly states unlimited gives 40gb of high speed data and then slows down to 3g speeds (not 2g) and fyi, a lot of carriers reduce speed after a certain allotment. But thanks for the comment!

Mine works amazing

And att towers

Sponsored by my wallet and paycheck

I've heard that but I haven't seen any proof of that.

It’s true. I had the “unlimited “ plan a few years back and maxed out the 30 gb threshold in 2 weeks where as with other carriers around 30 is what I averaged MONTHLY. Maybe it’s changed since then but they could never be my main phone carrier.

Yeah I understand, if my data is being drained way too fast I would definitely change as well.

(In your experience), gotta add that disclaimer

The right plan will work wonders!

Doing what shit? Mint is not for data beasts simple as that. I work from home so the 5gb plan is more than enough for me. Even if I needed more data would have a different service

I use wifi calling while at home. Saves data for grocery store, vacation, etc.

Thank you!

Super happy to hear this!
