What does Mint Mobile Unlimited include?

It may be a weird thing to say, but Mint’s Unlimited plan is “truly” unlimited. Talk, text, and data — there’s no throttling of connectivity. Beyond 35 GB, there’s a drop in priority in congested areas, however this affects latency, not actual download speeds, and it recovers quickly when you pass through.

Unlimited also includes extra perks at no additional cost. You can use your phone as a hotspot for 10 GB per month, free calls to Canada / Mexico / UK. You also get low rates for calls to 160 other countries. All of this over T-Mobile’s 5G network coverage.

Mint offers a prepaid service, so whether you need a flexible option for a short-term change, or are looking for a solid carrier without the hassle — and lots of savings — it’s a pretty good deal. No contracts or device purchases required.

That said, Mint Mobile does often have some awesome phone deals. You can check back on their deals page regularly to spot new discounts:

What happens when the promo plan is over?

You can use the handy-dandy Mint app to track your usage and update or change your preferred plans. Once your pre-paid plan is over, you can renew or switch to one that better suits your needs. Most users will find that Unlimited is nice to have, but they can do just fine with a lower-cost 20 GB or even 15 GB plan instead. You can track how much data you are using from the Mint app and make an informed decision when it’s time for renewal.

Whichever one you prefer, swapping to it and continuing your phone service with Mint is easy.

Signing up for Mint Mobile is easy

Mint Mobile supports eSIM, but also the good ol’ physical SIMs. You can create and activate an account either on Mint’s website or through the Mint Mobile app. If you prefer to use an eSIM, the app will help you set it up. If you want a physical one — a 3-in-1 SIM kit will be mailed to you.

You can port your old phone number — during the activation process, you can choose to keep your current number and you will get instructions on how to do so. It’s a fairly straightforward process.

You can also bring your own device. No purchase necessary. However, you do need a GSM-compatible phone (one that would work on T-Mobile’s network). You can use this tool to check if your current phone will work on Mint!
