This year will make it six years with Mint Mobile cellular service. They have provided reliable service at a low cost, and it fits my needs. They use the T-Mobile GSM 4G LTE and 5G networks, which means most phones are compatible and switching just requires swapping in a new SIM card (more recently I just use eSIM for instant over-the-air switching). (Mint was so successful that T-Mobile bought them.) I am an affiliate for them, but I’m also a loyal user.
This is their best deal in recent memory: New customers can get 12-Month Unlimited Plan for only $15/month. This is 50% off their normal low pricing of $30 a month for 12 months ($360 a year), for a savings of $180. Usually they only offer this discount for 3 months, so make sure you don’t buy the 3-month plan by accident! Offer ends January 2nd, 2025.
Want a new phone too?
- Google Pixel 9 for $299 ($500 off) along with the year of unlimited from Mint Mobile for $15/mo.
- Samsung A15 for only $60 along with the year of unlimited from Mint Mobile for $15/mo.
Note: “Unlimited” data still means speeds are throttled after 40 GB per month. Video streams at 480p. My personal primary complaint is that as an MVNO they are lower data priority, so at concerts or large public events, I feel my cellular data is slower than others. But I can’t bring myself to pay the full price of regular T-Mobile over that.
Use their phone compatibility checker first to see if you can bring your current phone over. All of their plans offer the slower 128 kbps speeds after you use up your LTE data, which is nice as you can still check your email and access basic services. (New customer means your phone hasn’t been on Mint within the past 90 days.)
7-Day “No Questions Asked Money Back Guarantee” (starts upon SIM activation) so you can test them out before making any commitment.

You need to update this. The plans now include 5g.
Thanks, I get 5G consistently nowadays.
Does Venmo work with them? I’m currently on Republic Wireless, and can’t set up a Venmo account with my cell number. A lot of the MVNO carriers don’t have the cell phone numbers listed correctly in some registry, and Venmo (and other apps) think the phone number is a landline and won’t accept it. Anyway, thinking of switching carriers.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I use Venmo regularly and have never had an issue with Mint.
Thanks!
Anyway an existing customer (on a lower tier) can take advantage of this?
been with mint few years. Too bad the unlimited deal not apply
