I signed up for this over 2 weeks ago from At&t GoPhone (was also previously on At&t post paid service). Took a min to port over, was super easy to set up all the APN settings, and it's worked great in my area. I have an unlocked iPhone 5S and iPhone 8 Plus, and both work with it. Lack of seeing individual voicemails stinks, but it's a small sacrifice considering the price of the service to begin with. I'm happy as a clam!! I still get mobile hotspot and everything else I want, all for $15/mth. It's a dream come true for a frugal person such as myself. I love knowing how much money I'm saving compared to people who spend $100s on their cell phone bill.

[@David-xq4vr]

MINT SIM now has 100 Mbps Download Speeds, for no additional costs (as of Nov 2017). No more 20Mbps limits!

[@Dentmarkusa]

Stetson, excellent production and help thanks. I followed your lead and transferred my number over to Mint using an iPhone6 and also set up my group texting feature flawlessly. :-)

[@danm1215]

Thanks Stetson; good report, as usual. You're a man of his word. Hope everything is well at school and at home!

[@DanSaleem]

I switched to Mint last week and ported my number from MetroPCS in just less than 1 minute. I have noticed the wired thing that mint coverage is better than MetroPCS even though both operate on T mobile network. With this price point that MInt offers now, makes it better deal among prepaid offers. I am going 6 months after my 3 months trials end. 20$ per month is a very good deal for me. I will be saving 60$ over 6 months period.

[@dissturbbed]

Another awesome review, thanks Stetson, appreciate it.

[@io9792]

Hey Stetson can do a review on h20 wireless's $10 pay as you go plan?

[@tam5887]

The 3 mo/2 gb plan would be how much in total w taxes n fees? I keep seeing $69 but how is it that much from the $45?

[@JH-hu5oz]

Set up wifi talk and text for certain android phones? My s8 plus?

[@amabilisbaca4842]

Could you please review total wireless and if possible, explain how to transfer phone number for Verizon to TW? Thanks.

[@MagnoHelio]

Great review! Clean, objective and impartial. I really enjoyed!

[@wrmmachne820311]

The BEST cellular service reviewer BY FAR! Thanks, Stetson! 🙂

[@stressreliefrelaxation]

I switched to Mint Today. I had no issues with porting my number using Samsung galaxy s6 unlocked (AT&T) phone. A lot of people said things about the customer service, so i decided to call to see how quickly they respond, on second ring, someone answered. I think, it is best deal out there. I am using 3 month plan, but will switch to 1 year.

[@Bloomdog2322]

Stetson, any step-by-step suggestions for setting up the custom API settings on a Windows 10 Mobile phone? I've tried to translate the Android process steps into the differing Windows 10 menus, but failed to get group texting to work right. I do have the option of going to MS Retail Store, but they're pretty clueless about MintSim, or its' API requirements.

[@mida8261]

I have MintSim. I've had speeds up to 50 mbps. Maybe they removed the caps?

[@27haryn]

I just switched from another carrier and I must say it’s great works like a champ in California and paid 45 bucks for 6 months absolutely happy

[@SlowerIsFaster139]

If you have a iphone locked to verizon, do you need to do anything special to start using mint?

[@sparksco1980]

Great review however there is visual voicemail for Android users...

[@sam.ruesink]

Great review. is it easy to transfer your number?

[@whoeylouie1313]

Have had Mint for 10 days now, very happy with it. Took some fiddling to get everything working, but what a deal! It's blazing fast, good coverage here in NJ. Bye, bye Boost Mobile....

[@fanfilmnetwork5643]

I purchased at your recommendation alone. I'm very impressed with the service Mint provides. My only dislike is the ads it plasters at you when you open your phone. But for the price, you can't beat this offer.

[@ikkiro]

Stetson, what android phone are you using in the video? Thanks. Nice review as always.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+ikkiro I'm using a Google Pixel!

[@soundsspace3739]

So if I buy for 3 months it will ask me to refill the sim on the Fourth month? Right?

[@CapatinSmash]

I became a subscriber after this video - you rock dude

[@mba2ceo]

G3 service only device support ?

[@yurguis]

Great review! I finally decided to go with MintSIM. After a month of usage the service have been good, however in these days I am getting near 50Mbps downloads which is crazy due to the 20Mbps speed cap. Maybe you need to check this out and update your review.

[@RunnerWil]

Very Informative, I will be using your code thank you

[@rmailley]

Would you mind checking out H20 wireless for us? It would be much appreciated.

[@collynchristopherbrenner3245]

Thank you, very helpful!

[@Hennessy198]

Great review! Right now, MintSIM is probably the best T-mobile MVNO imo. Also, about the speed cap, all of the MVNOs have speed caps. Most of them have a 20mbps down / 10mbps up cap, so the 20/20 is actually better than average.

[@fernand0167]

i get 2mbps up on mint sim in los angeles, ca

[@terryking1274]

I have to get this next year when I get a new unlocked phone. I just got my current carrier locked phone.

[@yunevainventorymanagement2728]

Very happy I switched! Love this service AND inexpensive compared to other carriers! Buy in bulk. Save a bulk of 💰 money! Durham, NC

[@ProXPro106]

thanks Stetson! this really helped

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Owen Qu You're welcome, Owen!

[@SajjadSayyedAhmed]

Great video!

[@DeUndefined1]

I had Boost, Freedompop, Verizon Prepaid, At&t Go Phone, Wal-Mart Family Mobile, and H2O Wireless. Now Mint Sim... Besides Safelink is a better Ringplus replacement than Freedompop? Mint Sim is sooo lovable!

[@billligon4005]

So switching to T-Mobile to see if problem still exists. It seems to have started when I switched to MInt Sim.

[@OhItsReallyNoah]

After reviewing all of these carriers, do you have any desire to switch from Cricket? I had them for a little while, but didn't like them too much. I had the sane plan that I did on my previous carrier, also the same phone, but they seemed to count up my data usage differently because I was running out mid month, when I could easily make it through an entire month on my previous carrier with the same amount of data. (My usage habits didn't change either according to my phone's data usage page)

[@lakorai2]

GamerInGear201 AT&Ts network is way better coverage than TMobile. But then again Verizon destroys them all for coverage. I went sith Boom Wireless Red on the Verizon network

[@TheGreatWhiteHope209]

this video sold me on MintSim. Thanks.

[@Drod11z]

Steven Lovett is it good?

[@daniellee7484]

What happened to your iPhone 6s?

[@McZachary44]

Can you change phones just by moving the SIM card?

[@StetsonDoggett]

With most carriers, yes!

[@robertwilder5479]

This guy is legit

[@paulbilleci4511]

could you possibly do an update video covering your experiences with cricket. I'm fairly new and don't know what to expect in rhe long term or if i should find another phone carrier. I would switch over to mint but T-Mobile doesn't work the best in my area.

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Paul Billeci Great idea! I'll work on it!

[@stephenvoss6092]

You sir are an intelligent cell service customer. "I would switch over to mint but T-Mobile doesn't work the best in my area." probably the smartest comment ive seen here and I like Mintsim.

[@Browningate]

APN settings, lack of silly visual voicemail features, and a 20Mbps cap aren't even issues enough to be considered caveats. Being stuck on the Tmobile network sure could be though. Still, those are pretty good prices.

[@ianpobanz12]

Have you done a review on Chatsim?? They are an unlimited chat service!?? For international chatting for only $15 a Year!???? I want to try it but not the best with this kind of stuff and your reviews are always so indepth!!

[@stephe4721]

You should review Flash Wireless. When you refer 5 new users monthly you get free service. The service is unlimited talk and text with 50GB of high speed data before a small throttle. It runs on the Sprint network

[@grgryl]

Unfortunately I was not able to receive texts from 5 digit numbers called Short Code (from banks, etc). Mintsim said there was nothing I could do about this.

[@NSchoenfelder]

grgryl That's strange, I know they work on regular tmo... try metro a month?

[@marioga90]

Has anyone been able to get rid of the empty voicemail bubble??

[@StetsonDoggett]

Go to settings > notifications > phone > and turn off “badge app icon” 🙂

[@phillipbrown9730]

I thought I read somewhere they charge for roaming here in the US, is this true? I can't imagine they charge extra for certain areas

[@NSchoenfelder]

Roaming domestic ( in the USA) usually isn't charged by anyone. However I don't believe mint gets roaming like metro for instance. Keep in mind international roaming is probably charged, unless you use postpaid T-Mobile/vzw or att.

[@kenjboyd6233]

Thanks Stetson!

[@pinonXO]

Does the phone HAVE to be unlocked? Or can it be from MetroPCS, Tmobile, etc?

[@NSchoenfelder]

pinonXO metro yes unlock it T-Mobile I'm not sure. But probably unlock as well.

[@davielove11]

Get review...really helps with making a final decision....MInt here I come!

[@NYinSD]

call me crazy but what "Data renews on a monthly basis" mean?

[@StetsonDoggett]

It means each month your data usage resets. If you sign up for the 3GB plan for 3 months, you get 3GB of data each month.

[@ReIIay]

MintSIM has been a pain recently. Everything as fine until my service got cut off out of nowhere. It did come back up, but a month later, the SIM card died. I contacted MintSIM for replacement and it took 2 weeks for the sim card to arrive... While my service was still active. Basically 2 weeks worth of service went down the drain. Im taking a look at your other cell phone plan because i cant stand this much longer.

[@christopherborawski9202]

Travis _ I’ve never had the sim card die, but I recently ordered a replacement sim because I lost my old phone, and It came in only 2 days. The service has gotten a lot better in just the last 5 months since I started my service!

[@velavanlaack9134]

Mint gets > 100mbps, bur drains the data, wonder why. I was using speedtest app, anyone knows why?

[@kingking-ul1sj]

I've had mint mobile for about 2 years was a big fan wish I could have stayed with them

[@weatheronthe8s895]

I found it funny you said you were capped at 20 Mbps when mine on US Cellular can rarely even get past 20, usually it's less. I found it hilarious when I had LTE roaming the other day and when I ran a speed test on roaming LTE I got 37 one time.

[@catt3911]

Great video.

[@leostorm7523]

If your phone lack of 1900/2100 bands support, then it might be deal beaker as you will only get EDGE 2.5G (No 4G or 3G supported).

[@Madison-ut6bz]

I'm assuming data throttles after 4g usage right? I'm on lycamobile right now, (tmobile network) I'm sure its safe to assume its gonna be the same...

[@NSchoenfelder]

Madison correct after you high speed is used you'll get slow speeds.

[@artdogg50]

Raids Yeah you get dropped all the way down to 2G, which is very tough to use.

[@raynehardy2547]

just checked my mpbs for att and its 2.... smh

[@DimlyAwareHUmAn]

FYI, I did a speed test one day late at night and got 50 Mps + !! So no it is not capped at 20mps. but thats fine anyway, it's more than twice as fast as ATT was. That being said coverage is NOT as good as ATT but wtf, I paid $45 for SIX MONTHS of service. And it actually works, well as well as T Mobile would.

[@SethuSenthil]

Compared to project Fi what network speed is faster?

[@websurf90]

Can't compare them. Mint is 20 Mbps capped and T-Mobile-only. Fi is uncapped and has access to three networks with overlapping coverage (plus their roaming agreements).

[@SethuSenthil]

Mr. Krabs Choking to Death Thanks, guess I'll stay with project Fi then

[@artdogg50]

Mr. Krabs Choking to Death Pretty sure I've gotten way over 20Mbps at times.

[@grape00jellly]

Do the prices change after the initial 3-6-12 time period? Im planning on purchasing the large plan for 3 months for $20/month. if prices do change, could i be able to switch plans>? Thank you

[@StetsonDoggett]

+grape00jellly The initial discount for the 3 month plan will change after the 3 months are up. Otherwise the expectation is the pricing will remain the same, however I am sure it may be subject to change over time. You can easily switch plans from your online account!

[@grape00jellly]

Awesome thank you!!

[@sierrameows1]

I have T-Mobile on my iPhone 6S

[@xxxhyundai]

But they don’t offer WiFi calling on iPhones. Same as ROK mobile.

[@skunkbudzrus]

Love mint just bought a yr worth with the deal they just had 16.75 a month for 5 gb plan bought for 3 phones to

[@JoshuaPan]

Please review CellNuvo!

[@raginghope9866]

Can you review cellnuvo

[@angelurena1176]

What happens when your plan is over and you want to renew it, do you keep your number?

[@NSchoenfelder]

Yes you keep your number & you can pay to renew your plan online.

[@billligon4005]

Problem: I can hear people on my IPhone X just fine, BUT my friends all say my voice is muffled. Checked phone with IPhone support-no phone problems Mic's and speakers work great, BUT my voice to my friends say My voce is Muffled.

[@dvxAznxvb]

Does it support WiFi calling?

[@NSchoenfelder]

Yes certain devices.

[@InsaneFire10YT]

not yet but i heard that it might come out some time later this year

[@jbar_85]

20mbps is much better than Cricket! I bet a lot of people will be like "bye Felicia" to Cricket. However, a lack of Visual Voicemail is a a big downer. Do you have to call to hear your voicemail?

[@jbar_85]

Brandii The Legend oh lawd! Is this 2006? 😂

[@c.dvideos7442]

Jess Barnett Actually, some newer phones have its own built in visual voicemail now. I think it be androids own version and it works well.

[@YuShawStang]

I used google voice, that I can read my voice mail.

[@mida8261]

Eh. I've been able to watch YT and Netflix on Cricket flawlessly (shocking, I know!) so that wasn't an issue. I only switched to MintSim because it I couldn't believe that phone service can be much cheaper than even Cricket!

[@mama9048]

Here in the UK no carrier has visual voicemail but we get really cheap deals. TBH that deal looks really good for american networks.

[@bcmiller2000]

You said Visual Voicemail isn't supported, so how do you get your phone messages?

[@StetsonDoggett]

You simply dial your own phone number, or tap the voicemail icon to call your voicemail. You just have to call to listen to your messages instead of having them displayed visually on the phone.

[@bcmiller2000]

Ah okay, so we are still notified of a voice mail?

[@luisvelasco3322]

Does it support WiFi Calling?

[@OhItsReallyNoah]

Luis Velasco from what i heard, its supported on some android phones

[@frank-bmtz]

Mint SIM is awesome. I tried them, but the poor T Mobile coverage in my area made me go back to AT&T

[@hostility2245]

H20 review please.

[@Csjosherz]

Since Mintsim uses the Tmobile network can I use my Tmobile Iphone with Mintsim?? Or do I need a completely unlocked Iphone?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Csjosherz Try and get your iPhone unlocked by T-Mobile first!

[@Csjosherz]

+Stetson Doggett I've called but I've only been with them for 7 months. They want at least 2 years on my profile or something.. Do you think getting the 3 month mintsim package and risking it is worth it?

[@aronnorth6299]

you can always test it and return it within 7-days (they have a refund policy but you lose shipping/handling)

[@xxxhyundai]

Yes it will work.

[@joshuab.8543]

This channel gonna go far!😁

[@daniellee7484]

Is there domestic roaming and wifi calling?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Danny Boy Unsure about roaming. WiFi calling is only available on certain Android devices.

[@NSchoenfelder]

Danny Boy I would recommend metro for roaming as I know they get it.

[@gloxxxx]

Is there any cheap mobile plans that run on sprint or Verizon?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Steven Mendoza Check out my latest video! Tello is a great option for Sprint, and their plans are 70% off right now! --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZy9qYFtm7aKnKs 70% off discount: goo.gl/EHpP5x

[@gloxxxx]

Thank you

[@xxxhyundai]

ROK you can use. But I cancelled them the same day. WiFi calling don’t work.

[@judesheehan4956]

The new Austin evens

[@adderalltaco726]

lmao

[@carbonblack1002]

No sponsor bs too

[@AyushK]

You can just use an app called YouMail for visual voicemail

[@mony1852]

Does it still connect to WiFi?

[@NSchoenfelder]

Mony Mora yes you are able to use Wi-Fi as well.

[@maryford9867]

I fell you gave a lot of info. I just went with spirit Tolo. Hve used ATT for years but, customer service was not good. They would not replace a phone I had about 4 mo. Plus had 2 others go out early and they would not do anything. They do have good reception but, you really pay out a lot. Mary Ann Ford

[@NSchoenfelder]

mary ford try metropcs ususlly they do well with CS like T-Mobile.

[@geyser3445]

Hotpsot option is not offered according to Mintsim customer service.

[@NSchoenfelder]

Jeff Neubert yeah it's prohibited according to the website.

[@riceee79]

Hey so after to those three months the prices go back to normal. Am i right

[@recognizableaaron]

nope

[@aronnorth6299]

you can still get the lowest price by purchasing 12-months at once (like Costco, buy in bulk and save)

[@gavinbrown8435]

does wifi text and call work on this??

[@xxxhyundai]

Gavin Brown nope. Also on ROK mobile no work

[@gavinbrown8435]

rok?

[@xxxhyundai]

Gavin Brown yeah. The company is ROK mobile. I do not recommend that company to no one. No visual VM, no WiFi calling, no HD voice, even if you select the ROK red (Verizon mvno)

[@Paul-sp1yr]

How about a Speedtalk review. They're selling a limited $60 a year plan, but have no clue if they're trustworthy.

[@jaydogs8326]

Nice Review ....and I hardly ever comment..

[@StetsonDoggett]

Thank you, Jay Dogs!

[@gcninja4146]

Does data rollover?

[@StetsonDoggett]

Data does not rollover. It simply resets each month.

[@connoramburgey3202]

Does Mint have, "Binge One"?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Connor Amburgey Hi Connor, Mint does not support Binge On. All cellular data you use will count against your high speed allotment.

[@chewy736]

Do a review on Teltik!

[@shakibm1558]

L damn. thanks bud. the $30 plan looks pretty good.

[@chewy736]

Dead Parasite the 40$ unlimited looks even better on Teltik 😁

[@StetsonDoggett]

+L I think they're geared for businesses, but I'll certainly check them out!

[@artdogg50]

L If available, I think you're right. The first 3 months really can't be touched by any other carrier, but it gets more interesting after that if you can find an unlimited plan that doesn't throttle you all the way down to 2G. I can work with 3G, but can't do much with 2G.

[@SuperBloopie]

Stetson Doggett idk... they seem pretty lax about that requirement. I managed to sign up with a screenshot from bitskins (buy and sell csgo skins).

[@dorenebonafilia522]

So far Mint is not corrupt like FreedomPop. I pay a set price for 3 months of service and even though I use my 10 gigs in a few days the service just slows down like the old modem days. They don't go into my account and charge unauthorized fees. FreedomPop just charged my CLOSED ACCOUNTS! That's right, I closed my account due to unauthorized charges by them and verified by phone that I no longer have any accounts with them, but this month got an email stating they have charged my closed accounts again. I had 2 closed accounts and they charged each. The Better Business Bureau had so many complaints when I checked. They are turning their customers intro fraudulent charged victims and turning their shareholders into theives.

[@BlastingDUBSTEP]

I know this vid old, but in one of your newer vids you did the same thing. You're saying caveat wrong, my g. The "ca" is like "ca-t" not like a crow "kaw". Hope you see this, great vids btw

[@ACEKING26]

time to SWITCH

[@unknownwolf4046]

I like the service 😁 Much better than At&t which im paying $55 for 8gb Which is crap 😒 Mint mobile is great i get T mobile my current carrier truewireless government phone said didnt work but it does not roaming which is good

[@ahaulss93]

Does mint support iMessage?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+ahaulss93 Yes!

[@twist3dlogic89]

iMessage uses WiFi and Data...so as long as you have a data plan iMessage will work.

[@xxxhyundai]

Yes

[@harrylea5805]

Damn I'm glad the UK has much better deals my contact is equilateral to $10 for 2gb and unlimited calls and texts

[@StetsonDoggett]

That is such a good deal!

[@DivergentDroid]

Interesting.. now.. whats the cheapest cellphone I can get to use with the service?

[@StetsonDoggett]

+Divergent Droid Probably iPhone 5. If you want something newer and faster, then consider iPhone 5S or SE.

[@artdogg50]

Divergent Droid You can bring your own phone with them, so as long as it's GSM unlocked and works with their network , you're good to go.

[@NSchoenfelder]

Divergent Droid I would get something that supports band 12 so iPhone se or 6s and most Android phones. For best coverage.

[@bozo859]

I use a Nokia 2 .... $100.00
