I live in southern indiana and it definitely struggles. If I stay close to the bigger cities it’s fine, but if I go hiking or anywhere somewhat remote it get no signal. I have had Verizon and AT&T previously and they had bad service but I would always get a small signal. I still choose mint because of the price. 90% of the time I don’t really need signal when I’m out in the country. I still plan on keeping mint but it’s definitely worse in my area.
Yeah, you can’t beat the price. It’s so nice to just be able to pay your bill once a year and that’s it! Thanks for sharing your experience in case more people from southern Indiana are curious about it!
I’ve had many issues with mintmobile and I live in Texas. It ain’t out in the middle of no where, other people have data, but we don’t. Also their overall service/trouble shooting is terrible.
Really?! I’m sorry about that. That’s a bummer. I had a pretty good experience but mileage can vary I guess. If you stayed with mint. Hope it only gets better.

Do anybody anybody want to accept Jesus christ as your savior he want to give you love peace and happiness and joy and salvation salvation eternal life if u confess your sins
I mean, I don’t think it sucks for what I use my phone for. I’m always on WiFi, and I have the ability to make calls at a significantly cheaper price. So it was a great choice for me. I also don’t talk over the phone much, so it makes sense. I think it really depends on your situation and what you.
I have been with Mint mobile for 3 years as well, the service and cellphone service is great, however my only complain where I live is the internet service is spotty and very slow. However, if I am in major urban areas, like Chicago, service for internet is great! TO me the only service that suffers that I had issues is the internet speeds, outside of that, I can't tell much of a difference with phone quality with any other carrier so I have kept Mint for years because of the low cost. I work at home so I really don't go out much unless the weekend, so sometimes I suffer with slow internet if I need to use it when I am out and about, but I grew up in the 80s and I am used to slow speeds like dial up so I have the patience to deal with it.
Glad to hear it worked out for you! Lol yeah I struggle with some of the same issues like slow Internet in some areas. But it’s very limited to certain locations. Overall the savings make it worth it and I’ve had to call customer service once in my 3 years. Great customer service. Quickly solved my problem, very nice.
@@edwardcarrilloalfaro agreed, not going anywhere! I just hope the new T-Mobile acquisition of Mint doesn’t screw anything up. T-Mobile claims nothing will change, only time will tell
No way!? I would try to contact customer service. Pull up all your receipts on the purchases you made and try to get your money back. If possible email explaining your situation and your proof. I haven’t had this issue with Mint, but something similar with other companies. Usually it gets worked out.
My question is When u buy t phone how do you put t SIM card in t phone? I’ve been using Verizon for 12 years and it already has t SIM card . I’m not tech savvy but is t sim a little card like paper? I’m hoping to figure this out because Verizon has gotten so expensive and my phone is paid for but Verizon is still billing me for the same amount when I first got t phone. And how much is Mints WiFi? Thankyou very much ❤
The SIM card is very small and depending on what phone you have it’s in different locations. If you were to move over to Mint Mobile, they will send you a SIM card. Also, make sure your phone is fully paid off and “unlocked” you do this by calling Verizon and having them unlock it. At the moment MINT Mobile is only a wireless phone carrier. They don’t have WiFi
Their data is not prioritized on the T-Mobile network. I mean of course the carrier is going to prioritize their customers. Of course it’s also ironic given that the majority of cellular nodes/towers/antennae are owned by third parties and licensed to carriers. Lol
I got a AT&T sub-service right now and I looked at the service map and capability for my phone model and it seemed everything would be good and the service seems great. Considering moving to Mint.
Awesome! One thing to note if you watch a lot of video mobile, max quality is 720 (which doesn’t look bad really) when watching video. But if you are constantly on WiFi you’ll be fine.
I haven’t had any issues with data, I do have the unlimited plan. But I’m also connected to wifi every chance I get. Still a great price for overall service. Savings lots of money compared to ATT and Verizon. (I had these previously).
If you want WiFi at home, yes you need a router given to you by an internet company like spectrum. Mint mobile is a wireless company, they provide you phone services like ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile. Mint mobile is a great deal for its price but you can run into some issues with data depending on where you are when you are out and about. I haven’t had any major issues in Los Angeles, CA except for one spot in a city that’s known to have issues with every cellphone company.
Yeah, I would call them and make sure your phone is unlocked. Then continue to cancel. *Some phones will actually tell you it’s unlocked in your settings somewhere. An example, For my iPhone it showed me “no sim restriction” under the carrier section in my settings. This was 4 years ago though, not sure if anything’s changed.
I took screenshots of how much data I’ve used from mint in the past….. one time I used up 35GB witch was the maximum amount of gigabytes at the time… and I had 14 days left until my new month started :( I forgot if I was able to continue to surf the web after that…
Normally I connect to WiFi everywhere I can like at work or at home & I use data everywhere in between, with no issues. I’m not sure what your situation is but connecting to WiFi might help? If you’re not doing that already.
Something I’ve learned is that if you want to stream on mobile, 1080 is the way to go. If you have any plan other than unlimited, you run out of data fast unfortunately. Best to use WiFi when you can.
@@edwardcarrilloalfaro no no I'm asking how is the quality??? I heard it only goes 480? I'm getting unlimited it's only 15 a month so before I order the SIM I wanna make sure
Oh wow! I just realized this, I'm always on WiFi so it slipped under my radar. Thank you for pointing this out. OKAY, so I just tried it and you are correct, it is 480p and looks grainy...BUT that's only while it's buffering... after it's done buffering it jumps up to 720p. I Also tried to manually put it to 1080, but it reverts back down to 720p. Overall I would say 720 isn't terrible, definitely watchable (I tried watching a gaming cinematic, property tours, and people talking videos). 420p is definitely a little rough to watch but 720 was fine. And again, this is only when you aren't connected to WiFi. If this helped you out and you decide to go with mint, feel free to use my referral code in my link tree located in my about me on TH-cam, I believe you get $15 renewal credit for your next renewal. :) Hope this helped!
Bro how my internet sucks and it always takes 2 minutes to load one page of anything, google, TH-cam, safari and then my cellular data runs out within two days.
No way!? What plan do you have? I know if you’re on TH-cam often, watching videos consumes up a lot of data especially if you’re watching in 4K and if you’re not in WiFi.
All of those cell phone coverage maps are exaggerated. I have Google Fi and I consistently dont get wervice in areas they claim to have service, and other carriers have done this as well
I agree. I feel that the maps can be a bit exaggerated. On the plus side. I recently started getting reception in other places I didn’t. Nothing still in Porter Ranch though.
@@edwardcarrilloalfaro yeah there's some open source project that someone made to accurately show the coverages of all carriers and you can filter them
Living in PA I wouldn't ever hesitate. We switched from verizion and never looked back
Same here, I still haven’t had any issues. Glad it’s working out. 🙂
Apparently in PA here the signal is fabulous, BUT I'm worried about someone saying streaming like watching videos are horrible???

Texas here too. I hear you man. It’s troublesome.
They use t-mobile its not mint its t-mobile towers just not reaching you for w.e reason
It's true. I live in NY and I don't found any issues. But I visited texas and there was no network at that time.
Who are you using ? I have att in tx but getting tired of them
& great Service in Canada to if you visit
That’s awesome! Glad I’m ready to visit Canada! It’s on the top of my list to visit!
@edwardcarrilloalfaro Niagara Falls is the biggest attraction between NY(New York) & Canadian Border asides from that Montreal & Downtown Toranto are some pretty interesting areas to
@edwardcarrilloalfaro ask your Carrier tho they have most of the Questions of how much GB they had Plus T-Mobile Towers are very good
I agree, Porter Ranch, especially the Vineyard Porter Ranch is such a dead zone, can’t use my internet or call for some reason. I have VW service.
Yeah! I’m not sure why. From what I’ve noticed through friends, ATT is the only provider that works “decently” up there. Bummer.
I have TMobile and the service there for me is trash as well
Edit: I had no idea that TMobile was the parent company
SFV!!!!
Wooo!
Do anybody anybody want to accept Jesus christ as your savior he want to give you love peace and happiness and joy and salvation salvation eternal life if u confess your sins
Service sucks you get what you pay for common sense

Live in NJ. Great service 😊 works best for people knowledgeable of cell fones. Love mint mobile❤❤😊🙋♀️
Yes. 🙌🏻 glad to hear it. I love their service too, looks like I’ll have to make an updated video soon in more detail to clarify a couple things 😆

The VALLEY ain't LA😂😂
Might as well be Bakersfield or Death Valley 😂
lol 😆we’re not that far from LA! Just got some hills separating us haha. Nah I get what you’re saying. ✌🏼
I paid MINT 12 months and they gave me 6. Now they cut my phone service right before Thanksgiving. The jerks.
No way!? I would try to contact customer service. Pull up all your receipts on the purchases you made and try to get your money back. If possible email explaining your situation and your proof. I haven’t had this issue with Mint, but something similar with other companies. Usually it gets worked out.
Don’t do it
Why not? 🤔
I’ve literally never had service issues
Wtf are y’all doing tryna watch videos on 4k all day wondering why your data is gone
You can’t be serious
My question is When u buy t phone how do you put t SIM card in t phone? I’ve been using Verizon for 12 years and it already has t SIM card . I’m not tech savvy but is t sim a little card like paper?

Going on 3 months I've been in airplane mode that's connected to my sim card.
My daughter sent me a picture & the account hasn't worked since.
Sounds like a specific issue to your phones and SIM cards. I would contact support
Their data is not prioritized on the T-Mobile network. I mean of course the carrier is going to prioritize their customers. Of course it’s also ironic given that the majority of cellular nodes/towers/antennae are owned by third parties and licensed to carriers. Lol

Yeah I usually am on WiFi and when out just scrolling through apps and programs not watching media but thanks for the info
I would only recommend mint if you’ve got wifi at your house. Without it your data will be gone in less than a week
I haven’t had any issues with data, I do have the unlimited plan. But I’m also connected to wifi every chance I get. Still a great price for overall service. Savings lots of money compared to ATT and Verizon. (I had these previously).
That's how it is with any service? Wdym?! This isn't a Mint exclusive issue.
Don't they give you a router to pick up wifi? I'm not sure how this all works
If you want WiFi at home, yes you need a router given to you by an internet company like spectrum. Mint mobile is a wireless company, they provide you phone services like ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile.

Anyone in Houston, Texas using MINT MOBILE???
Yes, I use mint mobile and it's great
If I have t-mobile rn do I call and cancel my service with them and double check my phone is unlocked right?
Yeah, I would call them and make sure your phone is unlocked. Then continue to cancel. *Some phones will actually tell you it’s unlocked in your settings somewhere.

Sorry to hear about that! Are you still with Mint?
@@edwardcarrilloalfaro yes.. I’m with mint again trying to use less data
Normally I connect to WiFi everywhere I can like at work or at home & I use data everywhere in between, with no issues. I’m not sure what your situation is but connecting to WiFi might help? If you’re not doing that already.
What's the story if you want to watch TH-cam or whatever??? The streaming is horrible??? 480 instead of 1080???? Plz respond!😊

@@Mosey78 okay! Good luck! Hope it gets figured out 👍🏼
how much did u get paid
Absolutely nothing. Or else I’d have to disclose it. I did this video for practice and it ended up being good.
I'm with mint they're amazing
Honestly, it’s great for the price. Especially now days. I’ve had a pretty great experience so far as well.
Me too, plus not having to worry about paying a monthly bill can really save you money down the road. They're serious about savings
Absolutely! One less bill to worry about on a monthly basis as well has helped me out so much, less stress.
We’re you paid to make this video?
No, im working on getting better at this social media/content creation thing. I didn’t even include my referral link lol 😅
in LA the service is great.
Awesome!

I don’t work or go to school 😂
I’ve used mint mobile 2 different times and the data wastes fast
Maybe it’s because I use my phone ALL day long 😂
Like it starts throttling you? Wow!
Customer service was so bad they literally refused to help me
No way!? I’m getting mixed reviews now about their customer service. I’m sorry about the bad experience!
Los not Las Angeles
Noted!
