Mint mobile is gonna make Ryan Reynolds a billionaire 👌🏾
I honestly agree with you
He didn't have far to go because he already sold his aviator gin company for $610 million dollars.
@Joshua Bennett totally with you
Definitely,Smart Move.
I know, I saw one of their commercials during the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.
I made the switch to mint mobile also.
I like how you can pay a year in advance. After my offer is over i am for sure going to be renewing every 12 months!
This is a good feature to knock down your monthly bills- especially when it's so cheap!
So how is it?
It’s about to be 12 months again you still renew?
Mr. Dk, how is it so far? I'm interested and would like to know if it was good enough to renew.
1:47 Make sure you don’t cancel your old phone service before you port because you might lose your number. Just follow the porting process from your new provider (this works for all of them) and your old provider should auto cancel.
Would you happen to know if it has to be a active line though?(not connected) phone # is still under my name.
Nice
So where do you buy a kit though?
I just switched from cricket yesterday. Glad I still had my cricket line on because I wanted my old number still. It was also pretty easy to do.
Bich got an attitude when I requested to port my number and hung up fast lmao. Make sure all your info matches exactly or porting from computer will not work. Capitals and correct spelling of streets matter.
Everton,... Thank you for enlightening folks about possibilities of going another route with phone and data service. Your video was very helpful to me with understanding of the nuances.
I am happy the video helped. You're welcome.
This video was very helpful. To be honest the two points in this video was plus for me. I don't really want a carrier to keep track of me. This day and age there is enough of places "keeping track of us" The phone has the way to keep track of all that stuff. I will have to rely on my self instead of relying on a big company to keep my info safe and not abuse it. Again the video was very helpful ty.
Also, just want to point out, if you did want that feature it is built into android as an option. You can turn on (or off) backing up your friends list, call data and texts on the Google cloud.
Ive had MintMobile for a few months now and I have not noticed a difference in service from my old carrier (ATT). The only difference so far is the price. $45 for the first three month (now $45 for the first six month with 3 month credit). I was given a $15 credit towards renewal so my next 12 months will be $165 and with every referral i get another $15 credit towards my bill. The other carriers are not worth the extra money you pay. They offer you a phone just to hook you into a contract. With the money you save you can buy a phone when needed and without another contract. Not having that bill every month is really nice.
Did you lose everything in your phone like calendar and contacts and stuff?
@@Ingrid_Abrams No, that's NOT stored with your carrier.
You convinced me that I should switch to Mint from AT&T! My data downloads are now more than twice as fast with Mint than with AT&T - no one is more surprised than I. Thank you brother!
Glad I could help!
Kinda slow for me
But never had AtnT
This is a big, fat, greasy, and sweaty lie.
@@wanelly It is not a lie my friend. I don’t know where you live but I’m a realtor here in Virginia Beach & Mint (which is really T-Mobile) is way way faster than my AT&T ever was. I bought a 3 month Mint plan & put that new SIM card in my spare iPhone & the speeds were so much faster that I bought a 12 month plan & ported my number to Mint! I haven’t had one single problem since switching.
ATT has one of the oldest and most outdated networks of all carriers.
T-Mobile utilizies it's own network and Sprint's 2.4 for the net 5G network.
By far the fastest speeds you can get from a mobile network.
I REALLY like the service with Mint Mobile. Been with them for over 3 years!
The PROS definitely outweigh the cons.. ESPECIALLY all the 💰 money I've saved over the years!
You are speaking the truth!! I saved so much money and the cons, are relatively minor. I love it
@@strategicdating CONS
1) Deprioritization
2) 35 GB data cap on UNLIMITED plan/month. (2g speeds thereafter)
3) ROAMING is not supported.
4) PRO & CON : The BEST $ DEALS $ are on the ANNUAL PLANS.
5) MINT MOBILE is NOT for someone who's CONSTANTLY glued to their phone video streaming.
Any issues with apn settings? Not being able to send receive photos to your #? Or videos
What are your main cons?
@Alligator Beast just over 3 years
I switched to Mint Mobile from StraightTalk a little over a year ago only because I just didn't need much data since I'm mostly on WiFi. I did a short trial then I purchased an annual plan which is a huge savings.I'm on an iPhone 12 mini and the voice, text, and data have all worked great while at home, in stores, on dog walks... They have a trial SIM card, auto renewal, visual voicemail, WiFi calling, ability to purchase more data if needed, service text message notifications, an app which shows remaining data, and ability to manage other numbers... I'm very happy with the switch. I was happy with my previous carrier, but this one saves me more money and I only have to pay once a year which is nice.
Appreciate the review. Sounds perfect for my mom, who's been on a pay-per-minute (and no data) prepaid plan with T-Mobile for over a decade. Gonna set her up with Mint this weekend. :)
Awesome!
T-Mobile offers a $15/mo prepaid plan with 2GB data.
Mint is still good just use WiFi when it’s starts to lagg it helped me save 300 dollars a month
You're a guy with solutions!
How bad is the lag im a delivery driver so alot of my driveing uses data im planing on a unlimited data plan
So in heavy and I mean VERY heavy traffic areas(talking super busy shopping plazas) is the only time I experienced severe data depriortization. If you're using GPS, that relies 95% on GPS so in those few slow times, I never experienced map delay or map lag.
@@evertonsway I’m I’m not not nanswering
$300?! What were you using before?! 😳
Great video, very informative . I’m planing to switch from att mostly because of the terrible data speeds I get.
Thanks yeah the speeds I got were great in the areas where tmobile was great. Especially how cheap the plan is...savings gallore
Just to be clear you can see the App data usage on your phone usually under the Data Usage tab somewhere. If you select the app in the tab you can turn off the ability for apps to use data in the background.
That's literally every android phone ._.
Great video! I’ve been using Mint Mobile since 2017, and I am extremely happy with it. I currently have the 8GB 12 month plan and essentially pay $20 per month. I also love how they include mobile hotspot and 5G at no additional cost. Now, I’ve had zero experience with using the major carriers, but this one works just fine for me 😃
Yeah it's a really good service. Saves a ton, 95% of everything I care about is covered
Any issues with sending and receiving photos or video to phone numbers?
@@diamondhead5432101 I’ve had zero issues with sending videos and images via sms in the past years.
@@hieuniverse I'm definitely switching over and they have a special going on right now where are you paid 3 months and you get 3 months free and it has to be done before I believe the 2nd of January! This is for all new activations. That's crazy cheap! Within those three or six months one would know if they want to keep the service or not indefinitely so they can lock in for the year that $15 a month afterwards.
I'm currently in have just recently this month switched from Verizon paying $45 a month after taxes to paying $20 and change per month for the same exact plan. Unlimited talk and text and 2 GB of data but there's the issue with the sending and receiving of photos to the phone numbers.
Mint mobile gives 3 gigabytes of data and I've never come close to 2 gigabytes of usage with Verizon.
To me this is a no-brainer.
Thanks for the reply.
What is the data speed after 8GB of hign-speed data?
I’m feeling a sales pitch but I’m going to watch the rest of it.
wasnt a sales pitch- was giving you info that MINT doesn't ESPECIALLY about the misleading REAL cost of the service. it is NEVER 15$/month after the 'hook' of the first 3 months. MINT makes users pay a 'recovery fee' to pay them for their admin costs and you CANNOT find out this actual out of pocket cost until it's time to get more service. not included: MINT does not accurately keep track of your data usage and can make you pay their updata to keep using the service. MINT loses text messages and phone calls.
@@lal9136 Sales pitch for his cut when you use his link in the description. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t sound like a good deal
@@RLomoterenge why shouldn’t he get a cut? The dude took time to make a video you watched. GTFOH…
@@ffcsin I didn’t say he shouldn’t get a cut. His review is highly likely bias since he’s aiming to get a cut
Everton, I really appreciate this video. You did that VERY well. It was extremely concise but plainly laid out. I feel well informed by it. It was very helpful, thank you.
You're welcome!
If these are the only items you found as "issues" then I'd say a Mint Mobile is fantastic. My Google pixel already tracks data and battery usage by app so problem solved on that item. Thank you for posting a super helpful review of your experience!
Yes!!!! I like your mindset!
Yes, agreed. I put my son on Mint Mobile a few years ago, so I have gone through a few renewals and I think it's been spectacular. The price is so much lower than any other company that was an option and I had no need to unlimited data. The only thing I could see as an issue is that I can't track my teen's calls and texts from the carrier. There are products like Bark that can do this though. All these years I crazily kept paying my $71/month AT&T plan on my phone and I had to have unlimited data that I didn't need. Thankfully I came to my senses. I paid for the whole year what I was paying for in less than 3 months.
Thank you Everton for a great review! I appreciated the honest good points and the features which you were missing from your previous carrier. Especially appreciate you pointing out that the intro prices go up after the subscription purchase expires.
It does not unless you are purchasing small increments. I have been renewing for years at the same price and usually getting a discount coupon.
Last year I started using Mint service. This summer I went on a double cross country road trip (east-west-east) and the service was absolutely amazing and smooth, except only for Nebraska where the signal was extremely weak. Absolutely recommend Mint!
I gotta pin this message. Love that!
Nebraska usually has weak signals anyways with the other carriers too .
I’m making a cross country trip from west to east coast. I have Verizon and pay 90 a month as a single individual I’m really wanting to save so I need to switch! A little nervous switching before the trip.
@@analisbrady6207 mint mobile works great in NC. not sure about other states but if you come here, you’ll be good on mint
@@brodyjero thank you for that!!
I’ve been with Sprint (now T-mobile) for over 10 years now. No issues til the merge, and now they’re even requesting a down payment for a new phone. If I’m already an existing customer, I shouldn’t have to pay down payment for an upgrade (I didn’t in the past), and Their customer service team keeps giving me a run around. Might as well switch to a cheaper alternative at this point. Thanks for the review!!!
Omg, thank you so much for the info. We’re going to switch from T-mobile too😜
Awesome. You'll absolutely LOVE the savings!
Great video! I have been using Mint for almost 2 years now, didn't notice the issues you mentioned. For me the most appealing thing to me is, ya, price. It's not perfect, but it totally worth the money.
Worth the money yes indeed and no service is perfect but the savings are so great!
Very respectful and explicit thank you so much for the heads up brother I do have a question about multiple lines I have a family so if I still have the same access as competitive companies unlimited or packages etc. if you have any answers or ideas about how that unfolds that would be great again great video really appreciate it I understand everything you said it really helped me out a lot you rock man!
I just signed up with mint with your link. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for your experience and the heads up on a few limitations on keeping track of your data usage. God bless.
Very welcome Jean!
Thanks so much for doing this review! Considering switching from Sprint/T-Mobile, so this helps a lot.
Very welcome! One of the best decisions I've made!
Yeah, you get a lower priority on the stack meaning you start at a lower lever so you have to restart your phone (refresh your stack to put you back to the highest level you can be). You go down on the stack as you use the phone normally after each connection or site you use.
Enjoyed the videos about Mint, Everton. After watching all of them about your experience and likes and dislikes, I decided to give it a shot. I went through the link you had in the description so hopefully you will get credit from my purchase. Also considering trying the VPN you recommended. Thanks for the good content and the recommendation.
Always welcome my guy! In happy you enjoyed the videos!
I like there payments plans, there's many applications to do backup, the only thing you said and I cared is the data that happened to me already, yes be on top
Great review 👍 I'm on the free trial now to see if I like it for a week before changing over.
That's nice!! Let me know how you like it after your trial
Android has a data tracking feature that shows you where all of your data goes like what you mentioned in the video.
Thanks for the review/feedback... I have been thinking about switching, so that's why I am watching your video (thumbs up, by the way).... I will assume straight away that expecting the same service and quality of a big carrier when you're paying $15/$20 per month should be dismissed. Call quality being equal or similar is great, but I suppose data is the real name of the game. Besides, I hardly make phone calls anymore. I honestly can't even remember the last phone call I had...My dentist, maybe??? Anyway, data is where it's at and if Deadpool can at least keep up, it's worth considering. The thing for me is that I've been with Verizon since 2002 and I have never been dissatisfied with the service. It's a huge network, there have been no issues and my bill is extremely reasonable. Food for thought, my friend.... I appreciate the insight.
This video is on point and very accurate! Mint mobile is absolutely amazing! I have it and love it! I get fast 5g T-Mobile reception! Bought a used iPhone XR on offer up for $250 plus one year Mint service for CHEAP!
Nice video 👍 and that's cool to hear about mint mobile. I got my family on the 5 lines for 125 a month on cricket. But totally agree with you. For us prepaid is the way for us. Savin a ton of money. Keep up the good work.
Yes prepaid is TOTALLY the way to go I agree
Definitely seems like a good option for younger people (like high school and college students). I just might use this carrier when i get my first job
Mint is good, used them for about 3 months and they were pretty decent, I recently switched to Metro by t-mobile's unlimited $40 a month plan which i think is the better path to go.
Hey Everton! You used to be my resident at Tamaya, so funny to "run into you" on CZcams! Thanks for the review and I hope you are doing well! 😊
Great video. Just got my Mint Sim card and am hesitant to install it. It's all new to me, so this answered some questions. Thanks.
You can just use your google account to backup your numbers and call history. If you go in your network settings you can view your data usage and control your usage.
Or iCloud if you have apple, I think
Dope video! I just made the switch to mint and even got a galaxy s20 FE 5g to go with it. I caught the buy 3 months get 3 months free promotion and after that I plan on doing the yearly option so I don't have to worry about a month to month phone bill. The service is good because T mobile service works fine where I am, so I don't expect any problems.
I love this!
how do you like your s20 FE? making calls, receiving calls etc. what pro's and con's besides phone calls? this is one of the phones i might get.
Came across your video while I’m downing my Huel Hot and Savory.
I’m a Mint user for 3 mths now.
I use my phone for my job. It has been OK since we’ve been working mostly from home and staying in the general area but now that I’m in the field I am experiencing those slow downs when I get into my downtown areas. My phone was pretty much useless. I love mint mobile however I may have to switch because of my job.
I am literally thinking the same thing. I'm having to go back out in the field in a big and I'm curious to see how it works out. If it doesn't I'm thinking about visible
Great, review very thoroughly and professionally done. Told me what I needed to know, thank you Everton! Subscribed and liked.
Mint is good. Fricken walmart has a 25$ basic plan on their wall that's unreal I used to use unlimited. Cricket is amazing too for like 40$ you get unlimited and it's got great reception. Everyone is using everyone else's cell towers at this point anyway.
It makes you wonder why people are paying $100/month for their phone plans...
@@AdultingShouldntSuck I used to pay about that price with Verizon. Switching to mint was a very good move.
The irony is many towers are still owned by a third party, like Crown Castle International. So in many instances you won't be using a competitors tower.
I have straight talk wireless I only pay 45 bucks a month with 25 GB of data and that shit works up in The freakin boondocks
Great vid. Looking over Mint now helps to know this thnx
Awesome. Definitely here to bring balance. Its a really good service
Informative, well-spoken, easy-on-the-eyes...
Thanks!
Great vid! I was just wondering cause I’m about to switch to mint mobile and I’m gonna buy a new phone and I was wondering does it really matter what carrier it is before or do most newer phones work with the service ?
Most phones that are GSM unlocked will work with the service but they have an phone checker on their site that should help you. mint-mobile.58dp.net/6vjQV
I switched from T-Mobile to Mint because of their crappy service and I was throttled at 500mb despite being on ultimated data plan. So far I have not had any issue with Mint. However, based on what you told us about the awesome Mint's no track policy makes it even sweeter for people who are concerned about privacy.
They track it, they just don't share it with the end user...
T-Mobile is spotty coverage is nothing but issue’s.
You know mint is TMobile towers right ? 😂
What does the track policy mean?
Am on metro PCs and never had a problem period. However I heard mint mobile is some what crappy . Than I heard it good so am not sure. I might just keep metro and test mint out . However am grandfather in with metro so I think I stay with a better service I only pay 68 a month for two phones about what I pay here any way
Thanks for the vid. Looking to switch to mint also from T-Mobile. Btw dope color on your wall
Thanks bro! Yeah I'm not mad I left. I think you'll love it...service is great and MUCH cheaper
Very well put-together Video! Extremely balanced and not too Biased! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
Always welcome!
Thanking of switching from Att to Mint, this was super helpful. Thank you!!
Been using it for 2 years and it's been great!
Thanks for the video. One question I have, does mint provide hotspot service ?
They do, on all data plans you can use the entire data amount as hotspot except for the unlimited plan which is capped at 5gb hotspot.
Have you tried their trial SIM kit before signing up for a plan? And if you have, were you able to transfer your existing phone number to the trial SIM kit to use during the trial period?
This was very helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the comment
When you said call logs, did you mean you can't see your recent calls?
I took my lg g6 from sprint over too mint just started year 2 few days ago. The thing I miss most is I no longer have visual voicemail and I sometimes get delayed text which seems to be a common issue with my phone . I have a new phone on the way I just bought on amazon so Im hoping the delayed text thing stops. Its mainly an issue like when you login to say a bank acct. and they want to send a text to make sure its you well they usually give you like 10 minutes or the code is no longer valid. A workaround I found is I can just sent a text to anyone and that will trigger it to immediately send me any texts that were being delayed. I did contact mint on the issue and they offered no resolution. I have a feeling that maybe something about that sprint phone wasnt fully compatible even though the mint website said it was.
I use an app on Android playstore called my visual voicemail. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vna.service.vvm . It works just like t-mobiles visual voicemail. That delayed texting does seem super inconvenient because I deal with that bank scenario a lot when I need to enter a security code in a short period of time so I hear you.
That was your sprint phone, I had the OnePlus 6T and OnePlus had their own phone app with visual voicemail integration and it worked flawlessly, I'm at a Samsung Note 10+ and it doesn't have visual voicemail.
I used to have TMO and I would get delayed and duplicate texts semi-frequently when I had my phone on Wi-Fi calling. I got around it by disconnecting and reconnecting Wi-Fi when it started acting up.
Great breakdown. Just what I needed. I'll use your referral code if I get their services.
Man great video bro, same t mobile 📲 finna make the switch thought. And I found em the same way you did yt . Thanks 😊
Awesome!
I've had Mint Mobile since December and im pretty happy about it. It's saved me sooo much money. But the data burn is really the only issue I've had. Other than that, I have no complaints here. 😌

Super welcome!
I'm on mint mobile. First plan I purchased was a 3 month plan. Renewed it for a full year and more data. Just renewed the same plan for an additional year. I did purchase a new phone though. My old one was not working as well as I'd wanted. But I purchased it outright and unlocked for a huge discount and I don't think I'll ever go back to a standard phone plan again.
With samsung, you can back up messages and call history with samsung cloud.
Interesting
Thanks for the review still researching
👌 awesome! I like them a lot. Savings are so good!
Thank you for the information. Me and my wife are considering to switch as well
Best decision I made in 2020
I had mint mobile a while ago, it wasn’t the best at least in my area. So then I switched to Straight talk, it was alright but was missing stuff I wanted. So then I switched to sprint. It was great in my area. Now they merged with T-Mobile and I’m loving the 5G Signal!
i’ve had sprint for over two years and i’ve hated it.
@@lonelystarr444 Sprint is worthless if you live out in the country! Verizon is your best bet overall but their expensive! MINT makes a great backup phone!!!
I love paying only $15 a month, but I rarely use data, for me it's mostly just a phone so it's a great deal. I was with Virgin Mobile, and I got unlimited t&t but less data and I had to pay $25 a month, I like $15 much more. Plus I paid for 3 months, and they gave me another 3 months for free. At that point in order to keep the $15 rate you have to purchase a years worth of service up front, which again was great, less to worry about every month. So now it's 3/10/21 and I'm paid in full through 5/10/22, just the way I like it, cause I hate monthly bills.
That’s fantastic, thank you for sharing. sounds like the right decision for me.
@@zaboomafooba The actor Ryan Reynolds does commercials for them plus I'm pretty sure he owns the company. The service so far has been stellar here in NC.
@@robertkees6048 he own 20-25% of Mint Mobile.

This great information Everton.
I plan to secure the 3 month plan with three additional months free.
I've been paying $150 per month with
T Mobile for the last six months. That's rediculous. March is going to be better.
Thanks for the review, very insightful.
Very welcome!
I want to use 4G whenever it's available? Can I expect to do that with this service? How is 5G?
I haven’t used 5g on the service only 4G lte and it’s mostly fine. Once in a while depriortization occurs

good review man, everything you mentioned with T-Mobile I never used and I just buy newer refurbished phones on Amazon. so any T-Mobile phone will work with mint right ?
Sounds great for someone who has children, senior parents, or someone who works from home, great explanation
HEY EVERTON, I APPRECIATE THAT TIP. I TOO AM THINKING ABOUT DOING A SWITCH
Hey Tyrone...yeah I love it, well the savings and the service. Very welcome!
I just switch to mint now feom cricket to get wifi calling for my samsung s8. Cricket does not offer wificalling for non-cricket phone so bye bye cricket
Wifi calling is a life saver when you have the best service at home. It just makes sense
I have lots of questions because I'm lame when it comes to this shit.
If I sign for the 3GB data plan, do I understand the fine print right that if i go over, they wont block further data, they just slow it down? And, if they slow it down, will GPS still be reliable out on the road?
And, Why use wifi calling at all if its unlimited talk and text?
They slow it down after you hit your plan data. It's slowed down to 2g speeds but you can purchase more, the GPS works independently of data, you just won't get updated traffic info, but you should probably download offline maps from Google maps and wifi text and calling works great for if you're in an area with low or bad reception, you can use the internet as you're service backup
so i want to start paying for my own plan since i’ve been on my family’s for a while now. i think it’s time for me to start doing things on my own, but i’m pretty clueless when it comes to this stuff. i’ve been reading lots of sites and watching videos about phone plans, but i’m scared of having to pay too much at the end of the day. i’m currently on t-mobile, but it’s too much for me. would mint be the best option? i’ve been seeing pretty good reviews but also some bad ones too, so i’m hesitant
Mint is a good starter plan, but not only that it's a good plan if you want to save a ton of money. I don't pay for my service anymore due to referrals which I am super happy about but at the same time the service has a lot of options like hotspot, tiers of data and flexible plan prices.
I’m young and broke, and I been using Mint for 7 months. It’s pretty reliable in my opinion. Compare to Verizon, they made me pay 120$ a month and put me in 600$ in debt. Don’t ever go into contracts if you don’t know what you’re doing 😂; trust me.
If your share of the family plan with T mobile is about the same $ per month, you should stay on the family plan and just contribute $ to the family bill.
I like T-Mobile too and was looking to change also just to lower my bills. I use to be with Republic Wireless yrs ago. Their plans are great and I never had any issues with service. I only left because I needed a new phone and they didn’t have anything I wanted. I just ran across Hello Mobile. Their plans are great!
Thank you for letting us now this is very helpful if they come to Canada
Thanks, had been mulling over the possibility of switching to Mint. Still mulling! 👍
Best choice I made in decades.
Mint is so awesome. I really enjoy it! It was also cool that they gave free unlimited data to all their customers when the pandemic was at its peak. This was also back when mint didn’t offer an unlimited plan yet.
Let's just be 100% clear; Mint was awesome for doing that, but they are lying to you about unlimited data... It is unlimited insanely slow data once your respectably fast high-speed data reaches 35gb's, but that unlimited slow data is so painfully slow, that you might even have trouble checking your email and anything else, plan on taking a long nap before it finishes loading!!!
P.S. I have had Mint on the slow, >35gb, and had trouble opening up the google main page and even email would often be difficult, with GPS maps not even working while driving reliably, it literally is almost 100% useless.
Also, I'd say if Mint could make the slow speed about 5x faster, it would be actually not terrible, but still should NOT call it unlimited and instead call it 35gb high-speed with unlimited reduced speed.
@@ihatesignupsgrrrrrrr Well I wouldn’t know about unlimited because have 10gb plan and I only use up 4gb. I’m too busy with work to have time to use all that in a month. Mint is perfect for me.
@@ihatesignupsgrrrrrrr I'm pretty sure every phone company calls it unlimited. I have been paying $50/mo through boost mobile to have "unlimited data", only to find out that it has a 35gb high speed data cap and gets throttled after.
It's not right of companies to advertise it as unlimited, but is a colloquial(?) Term to call it amongst phone company plans
I just switched to Mint Mobile a couple weeks ago and have enjoyed it so far. I didn't even need the extras from Verizon. I'm happy with this so far. P.S. Great video!
How much of the EXTRAs have you been sold (with the exception of say phone insurance....) that have been a waste.. you get "used to them" but don't miss them really...
Another thing they allow is switching plans (3 to 6 or 6 to 3 months) so you can get the cheaper introductory rate... I've even bought a new sims for the 3 free months, but I had to use a new #, I been messing with Mint since they started, I got a few family members who like to pay once a year and not worry about it, I've never had any issues from the service...
I have had nothing but excellent service I’ve been all over the United States with my phone and not a problem. Very impressed
I use a lot of unlocked international phones that are not officially sold in the US, so the moment major carriers rolled out "whitelists" to provide service to approved phones only, I saw that as anti-consumer and switched over to Mint, and haven't looked back!
Good points you mention here but the conclusion for me here that no one of these points are enough for me to leave Mint Mobile for another carrier when I'm paying just $15.
Too little of money for a very good service. I wish I had a way to let all the customers overpaying ATT and Verizon know about this $15. I'm more happy than ever before. Again: $15, $15, $15 !!!
😄😄
15!
Is mint mobile better than boost mobile? I’m currently with t-mobile but I’m looking to switch to something cheaper, I have no WiFi at home so I use a lot of data. Which would be the better choice taking that into consideration?
U made very good points. Ive been using MM for years and may want to switch.
Tha k you for this review, I am seriously thinking about making the switch as on January 2021.
They got a promotion right now fyi basically 3 months free...I think its for the holidays but not sure if jan it'll be available... click the link in the description to check it out
Mint Mobile is awesome I left Sprint like a bad relationship after paying off my iPhone. No longer is Data an issue it’s now unlimited Text, Talk and Data as of 2021. Plus u can pay for 3, 6 or 12 months. For a Year I’m pay $360 plus tax! 😊
I love seeing comments like this
Very informative video. Thanks man!
You're welcome!
I've been with them since May 2020, thrilled with the service and value.
Hey Guys! What Service are you on? Let me if I should check them out
I'm on Simple Mobile and hate paying $50 to 60 dollars a month for unlimited everything.
A friend of mine started with simple mobile and he left a few months after. Mint mobile is awesome in my area. Absolutely love it
Straight talk wireless
I'm on mint. I switched from T-Mobile.
@@jprobe how is mint mobile is it fast
Mint mobile is great. I bought a year of unlimited, so that's done for 2021.
So this works on every unclock phones?
Thank you for the break down. And the comments on here are so helpful. Will definitely try it.
Awesome! I love the service!
@@evertonsway so I am looking do they have a family plan?
They don’t. They have a feature in the app so you to get the control features but not a specific family plan. Also if you do church them out there’s a code in the description of the video so you get a renewal credit
I bought a 3-month plan for my daughter. Great video!
Yeah I did the same thing! Thanks!
I wont change as long as metro by tmoble has amazon prime sorry its too hard to drop it there are days i feel im done with metro i cant get service for 60 a month alot of areas the data is trash but the 15 gb hotspot when it works well is worth it for my ps3 like 1st 15 days of service lol before the 35 gb cap lol so im stuck n metros freebies i use the perks alot
quick question . . my phone runs on 4 g we got the 4 gig plan and it says 5 g and then slows down ... is that how this works? or do we only get 4 gigs of data all together
