Mint Mobile 5 Year Review - Is it worth it?

[@graveyardshift2100]

It's good to hear from someone that's had it for more than a few months.

[@thedude9418]

I was paying over $90 a month for Verizon and I swapped to Mint Mobile (10 GB plan $20 a month) and it's been perfect. I will never go back to a major carrier again after this switch because I realized how much money I was wasting per year.

[@ricardonavarro7885]

Bro! This is the third review I watch about it, and they have all been positive, but the first one was a 6-month-long user, then a 1-yr, and now you after 5 years! I'm seriously switching, most likely this week. Tysm! :D

[@km7890km]

Did you switch, Ricardo? If so, how is it going?

[@showlight2429]

That voice mail definitely makes him feel like an actual person. And I love that.

[@fishingpinky3165]

I love Mint. Switched 18 months ago from Metro PCS. Metro was cheap but Mint is cheaper especially for people needing single plans. Reception is good. I just paid for the year at $200. Savings hundreds of dollars.

[@thejesser501]

I've had Mint for a couple years and I love it.. I have the 15 GB of data yearly plan. Sometimes the calls drop here in the Bay area, especially when calling other Mint mobile customers, luckily most folks text me. Before Mint, I had Cricket which had better cell reception and my calls rarely dropped, but I paid more and could not hotspot any of my data. With Mint I can! It's been a really good value for me and I tell folks to try it. Great review!

[@alexandrgarlock4075]

Great review. I have been on it over 2 years now. I love it and looking forward to many more years.

[@srincident]

My sim card comes tomorrow. I'm actually very excited about this product and my decision to switch. Thanks for the review, Griffen. And thank you, Ryan Reynolds. I'm expecting a phone call.

[@maltoNitho]

Very cool! I switched a few years ago and it’s been fairly positive for me too. I have an eSIM for Mint and my work AT&T SIM in my iPhone 13 so I can easily see that Mint/TMo is at least as good as ATT if not better. In fact, I recently drove across the US (GA to NV) and ATT was very frequently MIA. There were times I only had voice service with Mint but at least I could call if I needed!

[@I.am_Groot]

Good info. I just switched to Mint and my data speed and strength of service improved quite a bit over AT&T. I can handle some voice only spots out in the sticks vs the $$$ I am saving with Mint!

[@justgivemethetruth]

I have hadA AT&T since forever. I hate them. Can you actually change to just voice service? That's interesting.

[@kennyray9252]

My wife and I both have it and love it. It may have a few issues with coverage so be sure and check your coverage map. We live in the foothills and for the most part it’s on par with some of the major carriers. We excuse any hiccups and remind ourselves how much we’re saving. The one thing I will say is if your a person that likes to call and speak to reps for what ever reason it may not be for you. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8,9

[@eclectic3618]

Been 3 months, great service Just no online phone log if i delete a call or text from a number i didn't save but need now, im just stuck, Verizon i could get that info. But that info isnt worth $1,440 a year more lol so definitely worth the switch

[@suzettecisneros1543]

I’ve been with Mint Mobile for a year. I bought the 10 GB for a year and had a few moments of frustration. I went to a concert in Seattle and wasn’t able to call anyone. I was upset and nervous that I wouldn’t be able to find my friends. Luckily, I was able to sign onto the wifi and received service. I noticed when I go to huge events in downtown Seattle my service slows down. Another con is going to the “boonies” and getting no service or slow. I made the mistake of being only 10 GB and would run out of data. When I ran out of data the internet was so SLOW. I was so upset. I renewed my yearly pay today and paid 395 with tax. This time I bought unlimited data so I wouldn’t encounter that situation again. That’s about 33 a month. If I choose Verizon by myself I would’ve paid 70 bucks a month!!!! I feel good about Mint Mobile. I also received Ryan’s Christmas card. I thought it was funny and thoughtful. I’m a loyal Mint Mobile customer. 🥰

[@godovermoney1124]

Honest to God, I'd rather pay more and go with someone else. If a few dollars is that tight, You need to find a better job. Or cut corners someplace else. You can't take a risk with bad service ESPECIALLY if you use your phone for business

[@andyrew21]

I bought this and received absolutely zero mints. Outraged.

[@J0Z4lEN4]

Imagine how cute thatd be if they sent a mint thoe .

[@mounirbassou9207]

I know

[@succinctlylong]

😂

[@emilianozapata7690]

Just to get that voice mail from Ryan, just makes it more worth switching over!! LOL!!

[@doomy_doomy2225]

Mint is not a bad option. US mobile is another option people should look into. Same price for US mobile for 5GB for $15 for priority Verizon towers. Just only thing is it is monthly I believe.

[@jonny4563]

Ordered my SIM card; I hope you get credit for using the link. It went to a referral address until I selected a plan and not sure if it was still in that mode. total cost for the $45 plan was $51.51 with fees and taxes. I 'm with Spectrum's $14 1G plan but kept going over, but not by much and they charge $14 for each gig, so no savings there.

[@PTrukr]

The savings are great but I've used 180GB of data this month and used 290 GB in June. That's the only thing keeping me from changing to Mint Mobile.

[@kev-othegamer]

Thank you, great review.

[@d.h.dd.h.d.5230]

I ordered my mint phone & kit in Mar 2023 & paid $199 phone & $90 prepay cell svc. Mint charged me $90 for Mar April & May. By May 10th, they shut off my phone. When I paid via 611, they charged my card $120 for May June July Aug...next due date and be Sept. I paid May twice. So far, I've paid $210 for Mar-Aug. If I'm paying for 6-months, $30 × 6 months is $180. With that being said, they may collect early again in Aug. So, I'm only getting 4-months for my $210, based on their billing techniques.

[@bebaxter1]

I switched to Mint and was excited. But I have to switch back to AT&T because I couldn’t get my Zelle to work with Mint. A big disappointment.

[@Slavatoremondo]

The Mint Fox 🦊 Rocks

[@Botanica1love]

I switched to mint about 2 months ago. And the switch from AT&T was almost seamless. However now it has slowed waaaay down. I have the “unlimited plan” which is really 35 gbs of data. But I need more than that. Does anyone know of another carrier like Mint that offers more than 35gbs of data before slowing down? If not I’ll just have to go back to AT&T.

[@richardackley1823]

[@ScottWitty954]

Love the video. Looking for ways to save with gas prices rising. Your review and comments from your followers help me decide. I am now a new subscriber.

[@edwardmatt1606]

Those credits are gimmick. You don't get'em. Also, Many incoming calls don't ring and they don't even go to voicemail. Callers have told me that they thought that my phone number had been shut off. All for using Mint Mobil.

[@SteveBierfeldt]

I enjoyed this! New sub for you!

[@mrstoner2udude799]

I switched two months ago. No discernible changes. Just like Verizon only CHEAPER.

[@pskton]

I just tried to switch,but it never would work, so had To go back to ting.wheni called to get my number ported back,they wouldn't do it.they held my number hostage. So I had to get a new number.

[@BassByTheBay]

Are you sure there wasn't some contractual obligation? Cell companies are required by law to port numbers. Look it up on fcc.gov.

[@pskton]

@@BassByTheBay no,I don't care if it's the law, they kept it and after 8 years I had to get a new number.

[@BassByTheBay]

@@pskton Guess it doesn't apply to you anymore, but I posted that so other people would know that it's illegal for a US company to prevent you from porting your number to another provider. The info is on fcc.gov. Telling a provider that you know it's illegal and pointing them to fcc.gov will almost certainly result in them complying.

[@pskton]

@@BassByTheBay good to know, thanks.

[@MyUnfilteredDiary]

I am sold! Can you help me pick a good inexpensive phone? I only need it just for food delivery app services . I have a main phone I use for my day to day activities

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

My number is still not ported for 3 days. If they can't port it, maybe they just return my money as they promised? Regarding low income people, t-mobile $10 plan looks very promising. I'm going to give it a try after Mint.

[@tonyfang3700]

I really want to know how much do you really pay. as j am interesting in switching from straight talk to mint. I am paying 35 dollars for 10 gbs and after tax the bill of 39. I try to buy mints plan and at the checkout I found out there is a lot of extra fee. an it add up seems even more than I am paying now. anyone can explain what is the final price that you are paying.

[@burgerbobber5791]

You gotta tell us how much credit you got from posting your link

[@henryroif8537]

That is not new....This is called to be a SILEC under the umbrella of an ILEC, just research it; what happened is Mint has a different type of management......

[@xavierdiazmcguire4667]

Don't order, just buy from Target. The driver from On Trac first didn't deliver my sim card, i have a camera on the porch. They said they couldn't reach my from door because of access, theres no gates. After arguing with multiple On Trac customer support people, they kept telling me they couldn't deliver it until the following week. I cancelled the order with Mint on a Friday. A couple of days ago, this is three weeks later, I got an email from OnTrac saying that is was delivered on Thursday, the day before I cancelled my order with Mint. Again, I have a camera on the porch, never delivered. That Thursday they couldn't deliver it until the the following Monday or Tuesday. Basically the sim cards are prepaid and a lot of delivery drivers are not employed with these companies but are day delivery people. So they have a high rate of theft. I also have a FedEx driver on camera walk to the bottom step of my porch and just chucked my kids package across it. like threw it down on the ground so it would bounce off the ground. Just pick up from Target. You still get the Black Friday free three month deal until January. I paid about $50 for six months of service.

[@tman46544]

Cant use a vpn with mint, and barely got a signal so had to cancel the same day. Got my refund pretty quick at least.

It might’ve been a signal-strength related issue. I run my own VPN server and connect to it daily over Mint 5G.

I clicked on your link but the Mint website doesn't say anything about me getting $15 off of my first bill. Are you sure that link doesn't just earn money for you and not the new customer? Also, the inclusion of his voice mail kinda gives this away as more of an affiliate sales pitch than a genuine review.

I love the Christmas cards #MintMobile sends out!! I’m not an official user yet (ironically my family uses T-Mobile😂) but I am still an avid fan and unpaid advocate for the company, and I support them anyway I can, well mostly buying shirts and liking the commercials on Twitter. I even managed to get my paws on last year’s card, despite not being a user. Still hoping to snag the card from 2020, but I’m persistent (I even got banned from the Subreddit for “begging too much”🤭). Aww, I love Ryan🫠
