Back when I had Mint, every time you’d pay your bill, there was a $17 administration fee +$3 taxes, so if you paid annually you only paid the $20 in taxes and fees one time, if you pay quarterly you will pay it four times. It was a deal changer for me, I chose a cheaper plan.

Love what you’re doing here. One thing I’d love to see on your website is an indication of whether the price is tax included (like visible) or what the taxes and fees are, for those who add them, which mint does. Thanks for this great service.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Hey Mim, thank you so much for your support, and for your comment! You have a great suggestion. My question for you--where would you like to see the indication of whether taxes or fees are included? On the graphic of the plan card itself? Somewhere else? Right now each plan has a section on the website that says, "Estimated Total Plan Cost". This section includes whether taxes are included, and it also shows an estimated total monthly price for the plan. I'm always working to make my site better, so I appreciate your feedback!

[@mimandshaindy4906]

@@StetsonDoggett I think it would be helpful to have a little indication +tax/fees on the plan card for those that have them, or an indication tax/fees included with the plan feature list, and then the details under the "Estimated Total Plan Cost". I was a Mint subscriber for 5 years, first under the 12 month 12gb plan, which turned into the 15gb, then the unlimited plan. Thanks to your website and videos I switched to Visible. A factor in that decision was that Visible's price included taxes. The secondary factor was that Visible has an Apple watch LTE add on for 5 dollars tax in, which I benefitted from.

This was super helpful. Was on chat with Mint to get switched to the new Modern Family. I don't think they understood the plan. The key was "Pay over time" in the plan change page. Once you showed that, I was able to get the plan changed on both my accounts. Thanks!

Mint allows you to increase your data plan, but if you do your stuck with that higher tier. I had annual plan and because of travel I increased data plan. But after 2 months of travel I was back home using wifi and didn't need the extra data. Couldn't move back down to lower data tier.

[@SoulSurvivors86]

How does this benefit as opposed to two separate, individual mint plans? What is the point? If I have Mint and my brother has it, its still $14.99/mo for us individually, joining together on a "family plan" appears to have zero benefit.

[@buixote]

I like my single-plan just fine, but watch out for "provisioning fees". At $45, that was 3 months of the *plan's* cost.

[@unograduate]

I have been on Visible for one year and I’ve had no problems. I tried Mint, mainly because they have international roaming add-ons. It turns out my house is a dead zone, even though I am supposed to have coverage there. So Mint won’t work for me. Are there any Verizon network MVNOs that offer international roaming add ons for talk and text?

Not related to Mint, but can you do a video on the new US Mobile plans? I switched to US Mobile last month and their new unlimited plans (And elimination of the regular data 30gb plan) have me very confused. Like do the regular data plans (5, 12, 18) have the same features as the Unlimited Basic or the Unlimited Premium? Thanks!

[@GainingDespair]

I tried the test sim with my phone, even though my phone is listed as supported, even sold by T-Mobile I had issues with it. I own a factory unlocked A71 5G, biggest issue is I could get data, but I couldn't call or test in the normal sense. The phone would pause when trying to make a call, wait about 20 seconds, than drop LTE/5G and go to 2G?? Than place the call, but every time there was that 20 seconds of silence after I hit call. I couldn't receive any calls either which was odd, only thing which worked flawlessly was the mobile data, never had an issue with that. No amount of testing APN's ever solved the issue, though I ran across many posts online (searching for a fix) which mentioned this problem.

Mint Mobile should become a Verizon MVNO. It seems most of Mint's user base care more about coverage than speed.

[@StetsonDoggett]

I think Mint customers are happy with Mint. I don't think they should switch to Verizon. I think it would make more sense for them to create a new MVNO on Verizon instead. That siad, this leaves a golden opportunity for US Mobile to do bulk pricing on Verizon.

[@davidempire4874]

@@StetsonDoggett Mint markets nationwide coverage (Verizon's strong suit) more than ultra-fast speeds (T-Mobile's strong suit), though, and plus, slower speeds would mean that their data plans won't be as limiting.

[@artdogg50]

I like to use Mint occasionally. If they were to switch to Verizon, it'd be a no go. As good as Mint is for discounts, I don't think they can really compete with Visible when it comes to deals. And Verizon whitelist of phones is so huge, I think it'd actually hurt them in the long run. Other companies are starting to copy Mint though, so their single line plans don't look as good today as they did a few years ago.

[@mikecrabtree8200]

Before I finish watching this. TMobile is my last option for cell service. In my area they are worse than Verizon and that is not good. If you don’t want to get tied in to a contract and want the best service imho the only option is Cricket. Since ATT took over the service quality has gone up dramatically. And I highly recommend them for people who have the most common phones, IPhones ,Samsung etc. If you have a OnePlus or other brand that is not a well known brand here in the us. Cricket will not support your device, even if their sight says they will, they won’t. So providers like mint are going to be where you will head. Check cricket just the same, imo the service is better and the group price per month is better. But if they don’t support your phone? Case in point I bought a One Plus 10pro. Crickets sight says they support 1 model of the 10pro. So I bought it. Yah the sight was ah ……. In error. A few years back cricket was great. They supported everything GSM. Now I guess if your company doesn’t suck up to ATT, your product gets no support. Any way. Waiting for my mint SIM card to show up in the mail.

Mint was a total failure for me because the signal was zero, even outdoors when it was supposed to be 4G. Also, it wouldn't work with the home wifi because we didn't have high end phones. After a nightmare of getting out of Mint (they wouldn't give us our account numbers at first because we couldn't receive a text message with a code), we switched to Visible. It works with the wifi and since Verizon does work here, there are no problems.

I am having THE MOST infuriating experience with MM. NOTHING we’ve done to solve this issue has worked. New SIM cards don’t work, nothing. Every time I call out there’s a loud tapping sound like someone is listening in on my call and tapping a metal pen on a metal desk right into the phone. The recipient of my phone call doesn’t hear it, but I do. It’s impossible to talk over. Incoming calls have no issues. I live a very normal life. There’s nothing to spy on my calls over, though Google is insistent that my calls are being tapped. But I still am a bit worried about privacy with MM being much more vulnerable than with other carriers. I really need to save money right or I’d jump back to another carrier in a minute although I detest Verizon and ATT for other reasons/confirmed corrupted morals.
