Like T-Mobile, coverage is best in more populated areas and tends to get worse the more rural you are. Since Mint uses T-Mobile’s network for data, calling, and texting, I found my data speeds to be no different from those of T-Mobile’s own prepaid plan, which I was previously a customer. Here you can do things like setup Auto Recharge, add international calling credits, or order a replacement SIM card.

Mint has a very well-designed desktop web dashboard as well as iPhone and Android apps for managing your account. My number was ported in less than an hour and I got an email and text message as soon as the transfer was complete. While following their process, you will want to be sure to change the network settings in your phone as Mint Mobile describes here. The activation and number porting experience was super smooth. I purchased my SIM card through their site and it arrived 3 days later. We buy so many of our predictable consumable goods like toilet paper and laundry detergent in bulk, so why not prepay for wireless service too? Additionally, Mint keep prices low by selling online-only and not operating brick-and-mortar stores. Mint applies the same model as Costco to keep prices low: they sell their wireless service in bulk, offering 3, 6, and 12 months of coverage paid for upfront. After 4 years with Mint, I can say that the service quality itself and the setup and customer support is top notch. Looking at Mint’s prices compared to other options in the prepaid space, you might wonder where they are cutting corners. Mint operates on the GSM network standard and allows you to either bring your own unlocked device and use their provided SIM card or purchase a phone directly from Mint. This is awesome, because T-Mobile scores near the front of the pack on third-party wireless service tests and is leading the nationwide rollout of 5G service among the big carriers. This means that you are effectively getting the same service, speeds, and coverage that you would get with T-Mobile. Like most other prepaid wireless companies, Mint is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) which means they don’t own their network but rather rent infrastructure from another network, in this case T-Mobile. Here’s my experience with Mint Mobile after 4 years as a customer. When I first switched to Mint Mobile in late 2016, I was mighty impressed and the value has only improved since. With unlimited nationwide 5G and 4G on T-Mobile’s network for just $30 per month, Mint Mobile offers the most appealing value proposition on the prepaid wireless market. Choosing the best value wireless provider is one of the easiest steps you can take when it comes to reducing your recurring monthly spending.
