Mint uses T-Mobile towers. This was the plan all along. They now have more customers. The big brands always buyout the smaller brands to create a monopoly. There is nothing that the consumers can do about it, just keep shopping around every few years for the newest budget phone plan. Not if, but when T-Mobile raises the rates, I guess I’ll give Straight Talk a chance. Oh wait, Straight talk was bought out by Verizon 🤨 See what I mean?

if you are on a very strict budget, buying the same things every month sucks. If you can get a quantity discount and get three months' worth, then it's better and frees up your money on the months when you do not have to buy, for example, cell phone service.

@WhoBeSilly 8 ай бұрын

I was about to say, a lot of the naysayers here are complaining about possible rate hikes. But right now, you can pay only $90 for a total of 6 months of unlimited data/talk/text. T-Mobile only adds a lot of value to that with their more robust network coverage. It is definitely the best deal in town right now.

@kareninalabama Жыл бұрын

I left Metro nearly 5 years ago and almost chose Mint, but went instead with Visible. I have no complaints. JS for those who may find they need to ditch Mint/TMobile (once prices inevitably increase.) I also hear good things about Tello. I chose Visible because I wanted/needed unlimited data, and it's been so much better than my Metro experience.

@geezerpleasers_OG Жыл бұрын

So the guy from T-Mobile, which torpedoed its own prepaid plans a few years ago, and doesn't provide low cost alternatives, tries to present himself as a champion of the little guy. Meanwhile, it's hysterical to listen to Reynolds spout buzzwords that he has no understanding of. Pretty sure he wouldn't know best practices if they bit him on the kropotkin. But the funniest of all was when he segued into talking about growing organizations in "organic ways." Umm, Ryan, mergers and acquisitions are the exact opposite of organic growth in a business. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ryan Reynolds is a great person but at the end of the day, he's not buying a company for long-term to build roots. It's to make it better and sell it at a profit.

@Wango Verizon bought Tracfone. But before that, they built Visible Wireless. But I do think Mint should replace Connect. It makes more sense that way since it's really the cash cow. The reason Tmobile made Connect is because Verizon isnt allowing Tracfone to be wholesale anymore. So the connect brand was a response to Tracfone. But as far as Ultra Mobile? I really do feel at some point that they'll be consolidating Ultra with Metro since they is shutting down their retail stores.
