[@dominohurley2552]

Agreed absolutely phenomenal breakdown!

[@JamesKaufman1973]

I'm on Mint right now, and with the exception of having no data service in rural areas while traveling, I've had zero complaints. Except in those limited rural areas, my data speeds are very fast (typically with a 5G connection, occasionally dropping to LTE). I have tried Visible several times over the past 2 years, and every single time I regretted it. The service was horrible (in areas where Verizon's direct service is perfect), with texts not coming through, strange garbled voice calls, and numerous times I had no service at all. When I briefly switched to a direct Verizon account (with the outrageous monthly prices), all of those issues went away, so clearly Visible was the problem. No thank you, I'll stick with Mint.

[@jettfueled]

Gotta love a video that not only breaks down everything in a perfectly concise manner with a fair comparison of everything, but also ACTUALLY answers the question of the video! Hats off to you sir, Mint or Visible will definitely be considered by me now!

[@hondafanatic17]

I’ve been using Mint for almost a year now and unless they raise their prices or cut coverage I don’t foresee myself changing carriers. Being able to pay my phone bill in advance for the year at a 3rd of what my yearly bill expense was on ATT is amazing. Switching myself and my husband to Mint is saving us a easy 1200 per year. Now we both do have older phones a iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Mini but we are hoping to get another 2-3 years out of them and even when we do have to upgrade we will still have saved money just buying them outright.

[@wandalee5010]

Mint is much better than most plans, however, if they lower prices per year, those prices should apply to the loyal subscribers as well!

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

Unfortunately even though the Verizon is only LTE where I live and slower than T-Mobile, I would choose Visible over mint mobile, as unlike mint mobile if the tower you're connecting to is congested after you use your premium data it slows down, but speed goes back up after the congestion goes away.

At these prices, I could sign up for BOTH Mint and Visible (that's what I'm test driving right now) and still be below the single line cost from AT&T If one's phone supports dual SIMs it doesn't hurt to have multiple providers if you travel.

I’ve been with Mint for a year now. Once my initial low cost deal ended in June, I gladly renewed for a year of unlimited. My previous AT&T plan was almost $100/month. Now I get, essentially, the same service (actually better as the T-Mobile network has better coverage in my area) for a quarter of the price. The only thing I gave up was international usage which isn’t a big deal. We will have to see if the low prices continue under T-Mobile but, for now, I am locked in for a while at a great rate.

[@AdmoreMethod]

As soon as my trial period ended, I went from using less than 15 gigs per month to now using 40 gigs in less than two days. How the fuck did THAT happen?

I had mint mobile for almost 1.3 years, while it started off good, it did overtime, become a nightmare with the constant drop calls, service cessations, or outright people I’m on the phone call with not hearing me. Sometimes, my dial out won’t even connect. My phone service bar will drop from 5G full bar all the way to 1 bar “E”. Constantly turning on and off my Airplane mode just to get my service working. I got fed up. I guess I got blindsided by the fact that I wasn’t worried about my phone bill for many months at a time. I switched to US Mobile and immediately noticed the clear difference between the two. US Mobile is the far superior mobile service.

Stay. Right now (through 5/31) you can lock into the new Visible plan at $25 which is the same price as the legacy plan. Or you can get Visible+ for $35.

[@mimandshaindy4906]

@Mike E I had no issue with the port over. It's fine. Go for it.

[@Michael-gx3be]

@@DM-mx8px yeah I was thinking more along the lines of would they offer it even cheaper to force you to switch or just cancel you out.

[@omarg2079]

Having affiliate links in the description and outright mentioning that visible gave you a discount code really sours this while video for me. Makes me wonder if any plans were omitted or if some calculations were a little inaccurate to possibly encourage people to click some links in the description.

[@StetsonDoggett]

Hey Omarg, that is a great point. You can always compare all cell phone plans on my website. Sponsored plans are listed first, but below those are all other plans with none left out: www.bestphoneplans.net/compare-plans

My income is very seasonal. The Mint 1 year plan means that I don't have to worry about coming up with the money in the winter. This is my second year.

[@Marco-i8t6q]

Are you saying that on. Mint after using 5gb of data your still getting data unlimited but at a slower speeds

[@binaryflat]

Mint never worked for me. I was talking to support, over, and over. It just did not work. I had to move to T-Mobile. Mint refused to refund my money.

[@AdmoreMethod]

Mint is owned by T-Mobile. So, they REALLY screwed you.

[@sparky6757]

I’ve used Mint for about a year now. No major complaints compared to my previous carrier, though the deprioritized data is annoying once in a while. Not as annoying as spending $35 a month instead of $15 though. I will say though, Tello’s $6 custom plan is pretty great for secondary devices. 500mb of high speed data and unlimited low speed data, as well as talk and text, is all you really need for a device that’s not your main one, and $6 a month can’t be beat. I used it for a month when I was transitioning from iPhone to Android, so my old phone would still have service whenever I needed it before I got my new phone completely set up.

[@OneManParade]

Great information. I'm thinking about switching to Mint from T-Mobile

[@toddswanson9549]

Is this secretly a commercial for Visible Base?

[@Peonydrangea]

After a month with Mint i could not wait to get out of my 3 month plan. I always had a problem connecting every time I need to use my GPS. It’s always either I couldn’t connect or it took time before I got connected. There were times I already passed the street that I need to turn before my GPS says I need to turn. Also, since I started using Mint even at home using WiFi it took me a while before I could get an internet. It wasn’t the case before I switch to Mint. Since I am not renewing I am having a hard time getting my account number and pin to port out.☹️

[@AdmoreMethod]

This is why T-Mobile paid 1.3 billion dollars to purchase Mint: to RUIN it. I have the exact same problem as you - cellular data isn’t strong enough to load GPS, which is the single-most important thing to have cellular data for. Mint sucks.

[@lasttwhisper]

11:25 Thank you sooo much, u just saved me a lot of time.

[@yonatanepstein]

Meanwhile at South Korea, I pay around $15 a month for 400GB of 5G data and unlimited calls/text

[@meoutthispiece9015]

Boost Infinite is the best phone plan out there. For a single line 25/mo forever unlimited.

[@madddvillain]

Any truckers or frequent road trippers got feedback on the nationwide coverage? I currently have t mobile and it works okay other than some known dead spots in certain states and areas, but should I basically expect the same coverage from mint?

[@AdmoreMethod]

I’m on the road 6 days a month and I had to get the 40gig plan because I kept running out of data (and, I’ve always had a 15gig plan with other carriers). But, even with 40gigs, I run out of data after the second day. And, since T-Mobile (the owner of Mint Mobile) doesn’t allow us to see where the data is going, it’s impossible to catch whatever they’re doing to rip me off. As soon as this fuk’n “contract” is over, I’m going back to StraightTalk.

[@madddvillain]

@@AdmoreMethod hey, thanks for the response. since writing my previous comment i tried mint on the 3 months for $15 bucks offer, and yeah you’re right the 40gb wasn’t enough for me. i ended up going with visible by verizon on their more premium plan which is $45 a month and it’s worked fantastic for me. unfortunately the cheaper plans with limited data just won’t do it for me who’s on the road 20 days out of the month as a long haul trucker.

[@AdmoreMethod]

@@madddvillain AH!!! And, a hearty thank you for letting me know who you went with. As soon as this “contract” is over… I’ll look into Visible. THANK YOU!!!

[@julespilla]

Excellent video. Explains everything so clearly and covers all questions. Bravo.

[@MattHalpain]

I pay $45., a month AT&T on my friends 5 line plan. I trade in my previous iPhone for a huge discount applied to a new iPhone via AT&T. And I love that AT&T does not charge interest in the monthly payment towards the new iPhone.

[@ceruleansky6670]

As of March 2024. No, Mint Mobile is no longer competitive against US Mobile at the $15 price point. US Mobile is now offering 10GB of high speed data then unlimited 1mbps data for the same $15/mo, (billed annually at $180), offering more data on the choice of 2 networks; soon all 3 with the announcement of “Deathstar”, more usable low speed data after the high speed allotment, the high speed data is premium data, it’s an obvious choice now and they also apparently plan to add the ability to move between networks, for that last point I will wait and see. However, this is why competition is great. Also US Mobile includes taxes and fees.

[@timkeller4967]

I am a little lost. I have boost but it was formerly sprints network which is now tmobile. But in the video it keeps showing At&T

[@Aquoscapture]

Great presentation Stetson was informative and aesthetic on point

[@StetsonDoggett]

Thank you, Mitchell!

[@MoOs3nH94]

Boost infinite has a 5 dollar add on that brings your data limit up to 50 gbs premium data. Compared to only 30 gbs my bill is roughly 31 dollars a month

[@StetsonDoggett]

This is an excellent point!!!

[@MoOs3nH94]

Yes. I figured that would be a good comparison with mint mobiles unlimited plan especially if someone is not wanting to do a full year up front.

[@SacramentoActionNews]

Only down side is there in att towers and is slow as hell we’ll where I’m at it’s slow 😊

[@mxdom]

I've had mint mobile for 2 years, signing on for a 3rd year next month, literally the same exact experience I've had on T-Mobile and Sprint but hundreds of dollars cheaper per year, even with the service being deprioritized I never notice it, even when I'm having weekend nights in Pittsburgh

[@likebliss]

thank you! this was my biggest hesitation

[@AdmoreMethod]

@@likeblissIf you’re in a city, ON WIFI, Mint will work fine. But, the minute you go off WiFi or leave the city… the data speeds suck.

[@DrGooseDuckman]

bro... plz stop letting your mom cut your hair. This channel will blow up.

[@igory8698]

De prioritized is a key word. I switched to a t-mobile deal last year and was assured that the quality of service will get better. There was a fine print and I saw it but I did not really know what de prioritized or high priority data terms meant. Well, what it means that in metropolitan areas any provider's network will be congested most of the time and there my plan's features/speeds will get de-prioritized to the point where there will be no any service. For months, until a tech representative who was "debugging" my "improved" magenta essentials service asked me what did I expect with this plan and explained what it meant that is when I understood the meaning of those words. I missed calls, I could not call, internet was literally non-existent most of the time.

[@nataliajg5133]

Okey! I was comparing, reviewing, reading about all carriers the past few days. This video only confirmed what I had decided, I just needed that extra push and this was it! Excited to leave AT&T and start with Mint, and a brand new phone by saving $276 per year! Just placed my order 😍 thank you for the great detailed video.

[@AdmoreMethod]

Good luck. After the trial period is over, Mint Mobile begins to “steal” cellular data. For example, I got the 15 gig plan because that’s what I’ve always had with other carriers and I never ran out. But, with Mint, I had to keep getting more and more data, because I would run out. I’m currently on their 40 gig plan and I can listen to my podcasts for about two days before I run out. And, since I had to pay up front for a full year’s service with no refund ability… I’m just screwed. Ryan Reynolds got 300 million outta the sale and continued to make bank on the commercials… but, T-Mobile turned his baby into just another cellular scam.

[@paulv20]

Banger comparison video. Well done.

[@andrewwastien]

what's the best cellphone for mint mobile? the one that has all of the bands or the most that mint mobile uses

[@rbarr775]

Excellent video. This is why I subscribe, and why I recommend your channel to co-workers. Any time this topic comes up at work, I just grab a post-it note and write your name on it. Here's all the information you'll ever need, organized to a 'T'.

[@BYTEXX.]

Why am I even watching this? I have a deadline to work towards tomorrow. I don't even live in the US

[@midnightleafpool3622]

Great video, it really helps to have the visual comparison👍 I just wanted to mention though because I didn't see it compared here, to pay attention when a plan says it's "deprioritized". If that's something that's important to you.

[@michaelrocco6111]

I was thinking about mint or boost , not sure yet that's why I'm watching your video!

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

Have four lines with unlimited everything for $25/line with T-Mobile with 50Gb totally unlimited and throttling only when over 50Gb and the network is overheating. Why go with Mint Mobile?

[@AdmoreMethod]

T-Mobile purchased Mint Mobile for 1.3 billion dollars (granting Ryan Reynolds a cool 300 million, plus further paychecks for the continued commercial endorsements) for the sole purpose of turning it into nothing more than another cellular service scam.

[@piranha7719]

Stetson is my go to guy for mobile plans. Great job on these videos

[@ryanf6671]

My girlfriend and I are moving in for the first time and we want to get ride of T-Mobile bill and switch to mint and this was very helpful looking to switch over hopefully next month

[@thullraven1]

I have T-Mobile. I pay a flat $90 a month for three lines and also get Netflix for free. No one can beat that deal for me.

[@cotech5781]

even doing 360$ a year is so much better than paying 80-90 a month with at&t

[@NightowlTrucking]

Ugh, Mint’s hotspot data actually DROPS to 10GB on their Unlimited plan. Blah….

[@MoreBollocks-ui2zs]

Between employer and veteran discounts I have yet to find an option that offers me more for less than AT&T. For the same $30 as Mint I get more full speed data and more hotspot data. If I want I still get teh phone discount options.

[@kaizenmedias]

Glad to see an awesome video from a fellow IC Grad!

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

Is it worth switching from metro pcs to mint mobile? I have 2 lines and my phones are unlocked and payed off. I’m currently paying $108/month unlimited for 2 lines with phone insurance.
