Mint Mobile 5 Years Later: Keeps Getting Better!

[@MylesTech]

$180 a year for unlimited right now is crazy too!

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Will they throttle your data?

[@thisisbeastmusikk]

@@MrSamPhoenixyes absolutely, no ultra wide band, streaming limited to 480. No thanks

[@MrSamPhoenix]

@ oh ok lol.

[@paspeedtestingadventures7503]

After 35GB yes​@@MrSamPhoenix

[@ChristopherPiechowiak-m2f]

I pay that in 2 months or so. That’s a real deal bargain right there

[@technophile_]

I went with mint just based off of your recommendation and I gotta say I’m extremely happy with it!

[@ivanlikesscience]

In Croatia, a small country in Europe, I could be getting 10GB for 10€, but I have a plan that is 13€ and I have 72GB of high speed 5G internet on my iPhone. The speed averages at about 200 to 300 mbps and I basically never use it up because I have gigabit fibre optic at home that costs 30€/month, but my family is a new customer to that provider so we’re actually only paying 10€ for the next 12 months. I live in a small town and the 5G speeds in larger cities are usually at around 500 to 700 mbps, so I’m pretty happy with the situation in my country

[@jamestuc80]

Yeah t-mobile is scummy I can guarantee once they have enough customers locked they will shoot the prices up

[@JZirn]

Love Mint! I’ve been on probably around 5 years as well. Still waiting on that RCS though

[@REALPapaLags]

Thank you Drew! I just signed up for MintMobile 12 month deal. I can’t wait to save so much money

[@d.av.s2798]

The promotion is $15 a month unlimited data for the first three months only; then you continue paying regular price of $30 a month. And that my friends is how they get ya!!! 😂

[@ToddReacts]

Ugh new customers only?! 😩 love Mint though. Been there for around 5 years too. Haven’t had any issues. Paying once $180 per year is crazy because you forget you even pay for the phone.

[@HamRadioN0CKL]

If their coverage in your area is 💩 it doesn't matter how cheap it is.

[@Gabri3lRocha]

that goes without saying for any service. at the same time mint mobile works off t-mobile network

[@paulromero1742]

Damn you drew ,this now becomes impossible for me to deceive myself being a Verizon customer since 1998… but since I use 30 gigs a month, I’m gonna have to take some master classes at self-deception. Thanks a lot.😭😭

[@d.av.s2798]

[@BorIlovar]

In Slovenia you can get 150GB of data and unlimited text and calls for 10 usd a month

[@crispyjokingtuna1495]

I have sadly experienced similar stuff with T-Mobile home internet as you did drew. And then we moved to an area where it just didn’t work so now we are on Verizon’s home internet, and at least for now it’s at least the same price which is nice. As for mint, I’ve been a customer since about 2018 ish I think and couldn’t be happier with their service

[@0xR0b0tt]

I used to pay for my company's corporate accounts $250/mo plus. For myself and my family - five and a half years on Mint. Never looked back. 5GB/mo for $15/mo and free (but limited) Canada roaming! Yeah!!

[@MrSamPhoenix]

From what I’ve heard Mint wants their money upfront.

[@hollow6178]

Mint mobile ad on this video lol

[@jxbbaldwin]

I've used Mint for a few year now, my only complaint is that they don't support RCS. 😠

[@shubhamc]

Went from Mint to Tello. Paying $7 for 2GB data + 100min talk time. I never use more than this so why pay extra!

[@TheAbsoluteZxero]

Mint has been good, but the lack of RCS support is pretty glaring when other carriers like Visible supported it day one

[@jacobg.witmer]

I’ve been on Verizon since late 2020 and it’s been amazing for me as I’m still dailying an iPhone 11 Pro Max. I’m not on 5G yet.

[@thisisbeastmusikk]

You’re missing out, 5G is the only reason I keep Verizon

[@jacobg.witmer]

@ I’m waiting till the 11 Pro Max stops getting software updates, then upgrading to the newest iPhone of that time, then use that iPhone till it stops getting software updates, and so forth.

[@borgranta61103]

@@jacobg.witmer I bought a refurbished iPhone SE 5G from 2022 from Straight Talk for $75 plus tax and service plan and I was able to get $1,000 off the iPhone 16 Pro while still keeping my iPhone 13 Pro Max due to being the last premium iPhone with physical SIM. Oddly enough I have not needed to rely on physical SIM in a while. Verizon is expensive but it is more usable in real badd areas than Visible+. Edit: It makes more sense to pay Unlimited Ultimate with phone and tablet instead of paying more for 3 different carriers at $45 each. Also I can earn enough from paid surveys to pay for backup line to power my iPhone 13 Pro Max as a secondary that way I can record a dangerous psycho on one phone for evidence while calling 911 on the other.

[@doomy_doomy2225]

⁠@@thisisbeastmusikkyou do realize 5G is on every carrier and you are getting bent over and screwed by Verizon right?

[@thisisbeastmusikk]

@ you will get throttled, I don’t. I use a lot of data and you don’t have access to as fast of speeds on those carriers. Especially mmWave

[@earnhar768]

I would be scared to commit to a year on T-Mobile’s network without knowing if they suck in my area. Verizon is the best network here. I have visible though

[@mathesonstep]

Meanwhile in Canada we have insane prices and Ryan tried to bring Mint here but Bell, Rogers and Telus fought against it

[@jeffreygoldman8120]

You could have mentioned Mint’s sister company, Ultra Mobile. 12mo promo for true, high speed unlimited data for $20/mo.

[@vidpetrovic8907]

In Slovenia I have everything unilimited for 5eur, althought I got a special promotion. Normal price is 10eur, so less than 10$. Data is the fastest possible speed untill 200gb, after that it is slower.

[@GlockamoleG17]

I don’t think they are losing money. They (mint) buy airtime and data in massive chunks, or they used too… Wireless telcos usually over build out network capacity, usually… In most areas, TM is only utilizing 20% to 30% network / tower capacity. The rest is for EMS services and prepaid vmno’s. That’s in an ideal world, cities with massive populations can over extend network infrastructure / towers… This what they told me when I worked for TM tech support. Cheers!

[@doomy_doomy2225]

In simple terms they are repurposing the unused pre bought data that never got used.

[@davidempire4874]

It's still a no go from me until they offer truly unlimited data. For now, I'm sticking to my Magenta Max family plan so I can use as much of that 5G UC data as I want.

[@JuanTorres-lp2gy]

Same here still on Magenta, no way I’m “upgrading” to their go5g plans

[@davidempire4874]

@@JuanTorres-lp2gy Not needed. I still get unlimited priority data. I use PairVPN to get unlimited hotspot and local eSIMs to get truly unlimited international data.

[@doomy_doomy2225]

Do you live on your phone or something? Unless it is for work, should not be ever hitting more the 20GB a month used. Get off your phone dude 😂

[@davidempire4874]

@ I run a lot of speed tests

[@theslimreaper]

Loved Mint and used it for about 2 years! Then I moved last year and our new home is a complete dead zone, so I had to switch 😢

[@vlada909]

Damn data in the us is kinda expensive... I pay $3 a month for 5GB without a contract. And because I don't use data that much, it added up so I currently have about 30GB.

[@TheLonelySoulja]

I thought he was going to ask have you seen Deadpool & Wolverine.

[@MrCmad1104]

I keep hearing Cim Took come out.

[@vs_94-24]

If you know the normal plan in India you might migrate here. For an year of unlimited 5g(no cap on data limit), unlimited calls, 100 messages per day that too for $37.4 considered .

[@joebidenVEVO]

majority of the eastern world has better deals than america, any standard plan in romania will be $7 a month or less

[@malekabdoh8639]

Everything is depended on labor cost and labor cost depends of cost of living which depends on labor cost so you can’t compare prices where labor is so much cheaper

[@timparker9174]

Why won’t they support RCS? And also Apple Watch support?

[@chloedegurechaff1941]

I don't know what drew is talking about but I use Mint Mobile, and I get all the RCS stuff.

[@timparker9174]

@@chloedegurechaff1941I should of been more specific. For iPhones they don’t support it. In iOS you need to turn it on but the option isn’t there on mint even though T-Mobile supports it on their plans. Seems like an easy fix if they wanted to do it.

[@TheAbsoluteZxero]

@@chloedegurechaff1941on an iPhone?

[@RossMKF1]

Last time I had mint I kept getting spam calls and texts like 7 times a day

[@Jozi-b1z]

Mint mobile is like the US version of SMARTY mobile in the uk

[@BeardsBaconTech]

What do you mean most Americans? Don’t use 40 gigs of data a month I could use that so fast. I’m on my phone all day long at work every day so 40 gigs would be gone so fast. That’s why I don’t use mint mobile anymore. I only use T-Mobile.

[@Gabri3lRocha]

t mobile still throttles to at a certain point in the same ballpark range

[@BeardsBaconTech]

@ t-Mobile might do that, but I have T-Mobile and I never feel it slowing down ever when I had mint mobile and it slowed down. I could never use my phone ever. I wasn’t able to do anything on my phone until it got back to normal.

[@chloedegurechaff1941]

​@@BeardsBaconTechI use like 8-10 a month. I know people that use less than 5.

[@Gabri3lRocha]

@@BeardsBaconTech I’ve had mint mobile for 5 years. Heavy data user. Nothing but KZbin and I never experienced a slow down

[@Gabri3lRocha]

@@BeardsBaconTech I was actually on T-Mobile before that on my dads account and I would always notice the throttle at the end of the month

[@KlutchAndJerel]

No RCS on mint mobile tho, right?

[@chloedegurechaff1941]

I get all the RCS stuff. So yes

[@TheAbsoluteZxero]

Not for iPhones currently, mint supports RCS on android only rn

[@osvargot]

you should look at the price of data plans in france you would be shocked

[@gotamd]

I moved away from Mint when T-Mobile acquired them just due to T-Mobile’s atrocious customer data breach record.

[@BeardsBaconTech]

If it says unlimited, then there should never be a slowdown ever you should be able to use it with the high speed data and then when you have to pay again, you pay again

[@green9227]

Use 500 gb a month, so mint in a no-go for me.

[@tudorbudaca9185]
