Tailosive Tech Dear Drew, do they offer Xfinity Mobile in your area? Because they use Verizon towers, $12 a month per one gb and unlimited talk and text or $45 a month “unlimited “ data.
LOL, we're definitely not holding up signs. Please thank your friends and family for introducing you to Mint. We're glad that you checked us out and that we're a good fit for you. 😉
Hey mint, I have been using mint for a year and you guys have been great, you guys have been updating with features like wifi calling and also you guys increased the data limits. Your coverage was great but recently from more than two months I am facing a weird issue where when other people call me, it is not even registering a call and I searched online and got to know it's a wide spread issue. I am posting it here so you guys can be aware of this issue and solve this as early as possible. I want you guys to succeed and provide a great competition to the big carrier provider charging 4 times for the same service.
SHYAM KUMAR KADIYAM Ik there’s certain apps that you can download to have those random calls be blocked and sent to a voicemail saying “this line is no longer in use” and whoever is calling will take u off their caller list. I just don’t know what the app is called lol
I got Mint for my grandson’s first phone. He got it for his 13th birthday... I got the 3 month/$45 package. So far he loves it... If all goes well, I’ll go for the annual package. Hope they have a good deal in April!!!
I'm much younger than talosive; whose first phone was an iPhone 5. My first phone was my brother's Sprint Samsung flip phone I got in 4th grade. And by freshmen in highschool, I had a 2 year old S5. And now I'm about to graduate with a s10+.
No one had a cell phone when I was in high school lol. I'm 37. My parent's had those huge Motorola phone's and then my dad had this brand new top of the line Nokia phone that he let me use until the service was done and oh man, I was soooo cool! LMAO
Tyler McQueen yeh I’m on 3 and I get 100GB for £20. Don’t know if the deal is on but I got 100mbs down once and I cried. I’ll average around 8 down but I have peaked to 24 down. We don’t talk about up
lol unlimited data for 10£ with 3 here but everywhere in London I get full lte signal but no speed I am lucky if I get 1 mbps. Have to go with 3G which gives me 3 mbps
Fenix wow I got 30gb for £18 and I’m in brum, signals decent enough to use in some places but it makes no sense how he road in handsworth is full bars and then I turn a corner and it practically drops to no service 🤦🏽♂️
Carved Parachute US really isn’t any different you have the four major ones and then the bigger prepaid are owned by the big guys anyway. Boost (Sprint) Metro and Mint (T-Mobile) and Cricket (ATT).
It's insane how difficult it is to get my friends and family to try Mint. They're so glued to the idea of a store and 2 year contract. MINT MOBILE FOREVA
@@brandon_nope The speeds aren't as fast as native Verizon, ever. But for my use case they are fine. I get very close to what I did before with Verizon, but there is some "deprioritization " for sure. But I don't find it to be excessive or an issue. I'm sure mileage will vary of course. Limited types of Android phones are able to be activated. But everything iPhone SE and newer will work just fine. Wi-Fi calling is hit and miss. Works on iPhone, but very few Android phones. Absolutely no stores and no one to call for support. You can chat with support and that's it. But for me, not been an issue and I don't really care. That's about it.
Been using Mint for about 2 years now and it has been incredible, I recommend it for anyone that lives in an area with good T-Mobile network coverage, because that’s what they operate on. I pay a year at a time for 3GB data per month and unlimited talk and text and it averages out to about $15 a month. Also the fox mascot is the cutest
Been with Mint Mobile for about 6 months now and have been really happy. Paid for a year of Mint for the same price that I was paying for one month of AT&T.
I'm thinking of switching to Mint...did you have to pay off your phone before switching or did you already own it? Will Mint pay it off for you, then charge it to your bill with them?
I’m in this same boat. My mom has been charging me $50 a month for att unlimited from a family plan for years. Mint has done a good job of branding and separating themselves from the other prepaid phone plans. Mint has appealed to young professionals and tech enthusiasts in a way that their competitors have never even attempted.
@@MaxineEveDark not entirely. Carriers can share their towers but they can also control how much they share. They own it. And most of the carriers own their “third party” carriers like Cricket. Cricket is owned by AT&T, Verizon owns Straight Talk, T-Mobile owns MetroPCS and Sprint owned Boost (legally still does) and the big carriers can control the coverage and speeds you get at their budget companies to force you to want to be with a premium service like themselves. Sales scheme.
*Flashbacks to the Green Walls* It was a major leap forward for your channel to move into your first office. I began watching you from the old iPhone 7 no headphone jack video, and seeing your growth both as an individual and TH-camr has been a fun and cool journey. Many of the most memorable videos come from the old days, from the MKBHD collab and some of your best rants. It is sad to hear that the old chapter of your channel has finally closed, though seeing the improvement through the years ensures me that many new memories and achievements lie ahead of you. Great job Drew, keep it up.
Switched to Mint last summer. Did the free trial, and then paid for a whole years coverage. Very happy with it, and it’s kinda nice not to have that $100/month Verizon bill.
I know you like mint but you talked about wishing they had unlimited you could at joining a Visible Party Plan it’s $25 per month for unlimited and it runs off the Verizon network
What if you're constantly gaming? Have you played online on it for long periods of time? I'm trying to find a good hotspot for gaming because I move a lot so I need a portable hotspot
@@starstruck4371 I also game on T-Mobile hotspot since we don't have WiFi at home. And it sucks. The speed is great. I got 265 mbs down on a speed test at 1 am outside of the city, in the county. But the problem is is latency. It makes me have like 80-100 ping on a regular.
I highly recommend Visible Mobile, this one piggy backs off of Verizon. It’s unlimited talk and text and data as well, it doesn’t cap your internet at all. It has unlimited hotspot 5mgb. It doesn’t stream video at standard definition though but honestly? Not that big of a deal for me. 40 a month. You can join a party which is like a family plan but with random people lowering your payment to 25.
I’m moving to Miami from Panama this sunday and was researching for good carriers to activate a line during my studies. Suddently I saw mint and remembered that one of my fave tech youtubers had a video about it. Thanks my man, you convinced me with this 3y old video!
All depends on where you live. When I lived in San Antonio, T-Mobile was the fastest by far. Moved to Cleveland and they were unusable. Ten years later and T-mobile is great now.
Had mint, ran out of data in a week. But loving Visible, SPECIALLY the unlimited hotspot. I use it everyday in school, so I don't have to connect my laptop to the school's WiFi.
Love it also since the removed the speed cap it's better, I use hotspot an lot at work I am an security so I sit an lot and watch movies over 190 gb of hotspot
Really liked mint for the time that I had it, but t-mobile coverage wasn't great so I switched to redpocket and I've been generally happy with it if you want a carrier based on att.
I really enjoy Fi I’ve used it on and off for a few years and just came back when they started their unlimited plan and I’ve never had this level of saturated coverage before very rarely do I encounter slow spots at least Google can do some things right
I have used Mint and they were totally worth it. But now I need more data. So I use Visible wireless. I've been happy with it. $25 per month in a group, stand alone it's $40. All fees included and unlimited hotspot. Runs on Verizon 's LTE network specifically. No 5G, no fallback to 3G or 2G. Works great for me.
I've been giving them a try since they had that 40% off deal. Its actually a really good deal with good service. Just activate the sim, pop it in and it just works! My only gripe is that I am getting a bit of spam text messages from weird numbers.
I just use Boost. 50$ and I never have to worry about data. I use a lot of data throughout the day when I’m out of wifi. So I just went with the unlimited plan. Sometimes I’ll find a dead spot but it’s rare where I normally go.
in tunisia there are phone carriers and wofi carriers but most of the phone carriers do wifi plan but its just a hotspot device ill be talking sbout the phone carriers for phones not wifi to make phone calls or texts or to pay for data thers not a bill you buy a sort of a ticker or a card like a google play card (1dtfor phone costs 1.25dt abt $0.4 and 5dt is about 5.6dt abt $1.8) you dial up a number then ypu put the code on that card and boom you can call and pay for data and all (200mo costs 1dt for my carrier but prices slightly differ) . most of the carriers offer unlimited calling between certain numbers but idk a lot about them
I tried mint mobile in my area and my calls would just drop when on the phone with people. Coverage was alright but not my favorite. Sprint works better for me. Plus I was on my parents plan when I was younger they had sprint and I had my phone with them into I was 18 then got my own sprint account and I have had them for 2 years now on my own account not counting my parents plan. Sprints great for me.
Puretipz I stick to Verizon. The only option for me is Verizon or AT&T. I don’t like connecting to WiFi if I’m not in my house and just use cellular data. I think he personally didn’t do enough research because I don’t play that much for Verizon and have much more features than he does.
@@MaximusTheChosenOne unfortunately I live in an RV since I travel a lot for work and almost every company wants a 2 yr contract but I can't keep that contract if I'm constantly moving and I might end up in a place where they don't service the area
In my country the way you described mint is like all our carriers, and switching is just as easy, but we do have unlimited plans but we can't add lines to plans
You should look into Visible. It is unlimited prepaid on Verizon’s network. Can be as low as $25 per month with 4 people in party pay. I just switched, and it’s pretty great.
Me: checking my mobile data usage of only today My mobile: 15gb on today Me: oh it is only $6 for 10mbps unlimited in my country Me: ok I need to use moreeeee!!!
Have a spare phone, put it on mint, $20/8GB a month, for three months and got three months free, equates out to $10 a month for 6 months. The only problem I have with it is, where I live, T mobile has spotty to no coverage. It won’t work for me at home but in town it’s fine. Won’t switch to a service I can’t use at home.
I joined Mint in August 2019. It has been a huge financial relief. As a former Metro-PC customer, I save $300 a year based on my old billing model. As a father of two, that extra money comes in handy. As far as network performance is concerned, I personally have noticed no difference overall. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
I hope you have a better experience w/ Mint mobile than I did. I live in DFW, and the service here was horrible. I have since switched to Visible and only pay $25 a month for an unlimited plan, and still on Verizon’s network.
As an MVNO mint doesn't get access to everything on the Tmobile network. The Calls and Texts are the same. But data is limited as they only will work on selected towers. I feel like if you are going to bring up the coverage understand you are getting what you pay for.
Drew, why didn't you go for a Verizon MVNO. I'm with US Mobile and their super LTE plan is on Verizon's network. I pay 60 bucks a month for unlimited with no speed restrictions and no caps on hotspot usage as well as no throttling on video resolution. Forgot to mention their non unlimited plans are also good to.
Mint has been a good option for me. I paid $75 for the sim then 150 every 6 months for first 5gb of HS data. A year later they upped it to 8gb. Still have the unlimited talk and text. Bought my phone outright so no finance webs. Agreed with.
That's actually what happened to me and my family. My parents who use their phones for work need the more expensive plans. They own a small business so a business plan would be overkill and cost too much so they went with a family plan. My brother (33) and I (23) are still in the plan due to fact that once we leave they'll be charge ridiculous amount of fees. We of course re-emburst our folks and even buy them nicer phones than what they would pick. However, it's insane how expensive At&t can get if you don't have a grandfather plan.
Since I was 14, I’ve paid my parents $15/mo (what it cost them to add me to their plan) I get: AT&T 40 GB Mobile Share w/ Rollover (Both my parents use about 1-2 GB/mo) AT&T has better coverage + speeds than Verizon in my area
NileshR12 I pay them $15/mo instead of the $30/mo it should be They were paying for the plan anyway, so they thought instead of lightening the cost for them, they offered to keep paying the same thing, and I only compensate what it cost to add me
bliph and Verizon has better speeds and coverage in general about 27% more in theUS also Verizon has 5G some places while nobody else has true 5G anywhere, I have both on my phone with E sim btw
I tried Mint about three years ago when I heard it mentioned on the Clark Howard show. I ONLY had service when I was really near an interstate or very spotty any where else. The coverage maps are total BS!. I had to drive three miles from my house to a very specific, very small area that had coverage if I needed to make a call. The customer service was non existent. There for a while I feared not being able to port my number away from them (the number I had for fifteen or so years). As I remember, I had to operate off of a new phone number from straight talk for about 60 days before I could get my old phone number back from Mint. I, too, prepaid for a chunk of service. I knew within a couple of days it was totally useless to me. Since there was NO WAY to talk to any one and they never returned emails (except for auto responders) I had to go through my bank to charge back the service. It took several months but my bank finally reversed the charges and credited my account. Try mint Mobile at your own peril.
My wife and I use Mint too! We have had no problems and are loving how much money we're saving! Glad to see one of my favorite TH-camrs is in the club as well!
LIST of TH-camrs who DON'T wear pants during filming: 1. Stevie T (SteveTerreberry) 2. Jon Prosser (Front Page Tech) and now 3. Drew/Apple Sheep (Tailosive Tech) @ 6:03 The list continues~!^^
How does visible compare to straight talk? I don't know whether it's just where I live or verizons stupid mvno deprioritization is effecting me in particular really badly or what but my speeds are terrible even when supposedly getting LTE, I cant even watch youtube videos in 720p most of the time without constant buffering except for maybe *sometimes* late at night :/
I use Consumer Collier for my 3 iPhones which totally is about $70 for all three phones, which is a good price and U still get the same data amount as Mint. I like how there are alternative carriers that have reasonable prices and allow me to use whatever phone I want to.
In Libya 🇱🇾 you can get 80GB for 18$ and it’s valid for 2 months, and also in case you used up the whole package before it expires you can renew it whenever you want. And the speed is 80Mbps 4G+.
What I’ve been using for years is Straight Talk from Walmart. I pay $45 a month for 25gb of data, unlimited talk and text, using att towers. They have a Verizon and T-Mobile SIM cards in the pack as well. I just buy an unlocked phone from Best Buy and bring it to straight talk. I don’t see why more people don’t use it.
I used mint mobile and the only issue I had was the fact tmobile sucks in my area. Verizon in my area gets coverage but crap network speeds. So I use cricket. I get coverage and speed from ATT network.
I was in a similar situation where I was just piggy-backing off my parents plan. Then I started doing some research into it, and found a 25$/month pre-paid plan with ATT that I really liked. It's only for 8 gigs of data a month, but I reckon I only use about 2-4 gigs every month on average. I never watch media on my phone, but I listen to Spotify while biking. So I need 'some' data. And ironically, the first month just for shits and giggles I pushed it over the cap to where they purposely slow it down, and it still streamed Spotify without any lag or hiccups. So basically, it's unlimited data for me. ;)
Verizon does offer prepaid tablets but hilariously enough if you look for the single line plan from postpaid service and choose the tablet as the device there is an option for a $15 1GB tablet plan which you have to manually select that is discounted to $10 with auto pay and iPads are frequently discounted by Verizon. The overages cost $10 per 1GB.
FYI - Mint Mobile only uses the GSM network on T-Mobile and AT&T. If you're phone doesn't support GSM or AT&T network, you won't be able to use it on Mint Mobile. Google Fi however, does support both GSM and CDMA networks so it offers a better coverage. Also, iPhones are supported on Google Fi and pricing starts at $20 for unlimited text and calls, and data is charged literally $1 per MB of data used. For two lines, you pay $20 for first person, $15 for each additional and data is charged at $1 per MB used. I'm not a fan of paying for data plans where I'm not using all the data I'm paying for, but there is also an unlimited plan on Google Fi. fi.google.com/about/ I switched from Verizon to Google Fi a few months ago, and I couldn't be happier with the service. I actually have better coverage in some spots than I did on Verizon because Google Fi is using T-Mobile's towers, Sprint's Towers (now belongs to T-Mobile) and US Cellular towers. For those who have a supported Android device, Google Fi does support RCS on Google Messages and also supports iMessage on iPhones.
At&t has 25% off for veterans. When the IPhone 5 came out I switched from At&t to Cricket. The service was bad but I paid $70 for my wife and my self (20gb) instead $150 for At&t at that point. Over the years the price has slowly gone up with cricket so much I recently switched back to At&t and I save a few bucks. Broadband internet is not available where I live so I now pay $170 for three phones with unlimited data, one watch and one tablet. Good job finding something that works for you.
Mint Mobile is one of the best carriers, especially on a budget. I do also agree with the annual installment. That is Mint's model, buying in bulk is cheaper and no matter what happens Mint already paid for their service in advance, if you switch carrier through the middle of the annual plan "oh well, thanks for the extra cash, we still give you service if you feel like using it, if not better for us". Mint is overall nice. so for anyone with a good t-mobile coverage can hop on mint and be fine.
Mint mobile is an awesome deal I used to have them, I have metro by T-Mobile now because the $60 plan includes an Amazon membership and if I do the math $15 plus an Amazon account plus Amazon music and prime video I'm almost at $50 a month, so for an extra $10 I don't have the hassle of having it all separate, it's all one payment, that's why I stick with metro
You can get 6 lines on Verizon with unlimited data for 210 dollars. That’s 35 bucks a line so it’s actually a damn good deal considering you also get the best coverage...
As a Mint mobile user for about 8 months I'm pretty happy about it. The coverage for the area I'm in is great and I like the updated app. I opted to use it for the(3 Gig) 3 month plan first to see how I would like it first and then I went for the (8 Gig) 6 month plan and then I just recently stepped it up to 12 months which gives the best savings. Now if you have internet at home I think 8 gigs is more than enough. I'm not always out and about a whole lot being on my phone unless I'm waiting for someone to drop off and I want to watch some TH-cam videos then it'll eat up some but you should still be good on data. But if you don't have internet then prepaid plans that don't have unlimited data isn't a good choice. Be nice if Mint does do a so called unlimited data plan which technically it isn't. But basically if your a home body a 3 gig plan you can get by as well. I had metro pcs and used 3 gig plan and only went over 3 gigs maybe twice.
As someone who works in customer service and sales for wireless, Drew sounds all the other customers I get that doesn’t care about why certain things has to be done like the pricing, the changes, the deals and the passwords. I’m not saying you’re wrong for complaining but it’s obvious that you don’t understand why those are important. All that said though, your switch to prepaid is the right move.
I don’t understand US promos. They seem incredibly expensive. In Italy most providers give you unlimited phone calls and around 50-60GB of 4.5G data every month for 5€.
Kinda similar story except in the UK. Was on EE (one of the biggest carriers here, used to be T-Mobile and Orange) since I started using smartphones. Was a very cheap plan £1/week plan that gave me very little data (around 500mb data because of their boost programme). Decided to switch to VOXI (a MVNO by Vodafone) and it's great. So much cheaper than going on Vodafone itself and definitely less than EE. They have offers a lot but rn I have 12gb data, unlimited social app data, calls, texts for £10/mo. Used to be 6gb but they always have "limited" deals for 8gb. You can even pay for unlimited data on video or music apps. It's great. MVNOs rise up!
I have 5 phones, unlimited talk, text and data for $125 (for ALL five lines) a month with Cricket. It is awesome! It is fast, I’ve never been throttled (and my son doesn’t have WiFi where he is, so he goes through a LOT of data) and the coverage is amazing as they run off of AT&T network.
Thinking about dropping my current network provider, also they phasing out my older phone that I been using in Jan Not sure why they don't offer phones to long time users .
You get limited time offer of 6 month or even up to a year depending on how loyal of a customer you are to your network provider, {josephbergg@gmail.com} for your bill payment and new phones with your verizon,AT&T and sprint account with Joseph Berg retail partnership store
I used to be in that category of verizon screwed over customer before, this is without a doubt common, however I met a someone who was able to assist me, I suppose It has some thing to work along the initial limit that's placed concerning the account when it was first made,he defined to me what was wrong and even helped me upgrade, at a pretty less expensive rate, it took him much less than an hour to clear up the problem, here is his e mail {josephbergg@gmail.com}. though do counsel him, he would possibly be capable to assist you
Working hard isn't the issue, It making good decisions when the opportunity comes,here {josephbergg@gmail.com}, I would have given you his store/office number but I don't know if he would mind
Verizon has their own prepaid service. The cheapest plan is the 1GB plan for $30 which is cheaper than AT&T Prepaid which charges $35 for the same. They are currently offer omg double data on plans such as $40 3GB plan offering 6GB and their $50 8GB plan offering 16GB. Their prepaid unlimited plan costs $70. There is wording that makes it clear that temporary reduced speeds may occur during congestion. I have never experienced slow speeds on their Prepaid MIFI devices so I can only assume they are careful how they slow speeds.
My family has a 10 gb per line plan on T-Mobile for like $120 that got switched to unlimited in 2016 and got switched back in 2019. Its an old plan so we are “saving” around $40 dollars.
Mint Cons: It’s off T-Mobiles network and you are piggybacking off them. T-Mobile customers are a priority. They will shut down your texting if the towers get busy (Christmas time) calls will drop too during busy times
I just switched from AT&T to Visible and now pay $25 for unlimited everything, data (no speed cap), unlimited hotspot (capped at 5Mbps) VVM, Wi-Fi Calling,it runs on the Verizon 4G LTE network, it’s a steal of a deal... We had a family plan that was getting out of hand expensive, we are saving literally hundreds of dollars after switching...

Absolutely no stores and no one to call for support. You can chat with support and that's it. But for me, not been an issue and I don't really care.
That's about it.
Im the type to have youtube constantly playing no matter where i am so i rely on unlimited
Been using Mint for about 2 years now and it has been incredible, I recommend it for anyone that lives in an area with good T-Mobile network coverage, because that’s what they operate on. I pay a year at a time for 3GB data per month and unlimited talk and text and it averages out to about $15 a month. Also the fox mascot is the cutest
Just to let anyone know the new unlimited is 35gb and then unlimited 2g so if you stream a lot of shows then you should get visible
@@ryzech4168 Just download Netflix shows on wifi so you don't waste mobile data. I hear Mint is better than Visible due to latency.
Cheapest plan upgraded to 5GB
I have Mint and totally agree. They are awesome. Decent coverage through T-Mobile And I pay only $180.00 per year and get 3gb Lte data a month.
I might switch to them as well my carrier is starting to charge more
US carriers charge an arm and a leg for basic functionality
i've actually been using Mint for 2 years now with the (at the time) 2GB plan but its now 3GB . No regrets
In algeria we have 20GB for 5$ OMG your plans are soo expensive
Yes, it's pretty expensive compared to some other countries.
Bryn McDougald lmao

@@jamessturcke6532 😂😂😂😂 your comment made my day thank yaaa
I’d love to have your phone plan 😁
Been with Mint Mobile for about 6 months now and have been really happy. Paid for a year of Mint for the same price that I was paying for one month of AT&T.
I'm thinking of switching to Mint...did you have to pay off your phone before switching or did you already own it? Will Mint pay it off for you, then charge it to your bill with them?
I’m in this same boat. My mom has been charging me $50 a month for att unlimited from a family plan for years.
Mint has done a good job of branding and separating themselves from the other prepaid phone plans. Mint has appealed to young professionals and tech enthusiasts in a way that their competitors have never even attempted.
Cricket Wireless is a good carrier, and they use the AT&T network.
Cricket is good the only thing I don't like about it is the data cap.
Cricket is good but I'm looking for something cheaper. Most data I use is like 8 gigs so I'm happy with 12 gigs
@@aeches How? They operate off AT&T’s towers.
@@MaxineEveDark not entirely. Carriers can share their towers but they can also control how much they share. They own it. And most of the carriers own their “third party” carriers like Cricket. Cricket is owned by AT&T, Verizon owns Straight Talk, T-Mobile owns MetroPCS and Sprint owned Boost (legally still does) and the big carriers can control the coverage and speeds you get at their budget companies to force you to want to be with a premium service like themselves. Sales scheme.
I love getting your notifications regardless of what you’re talking about!
*Flashbacks to the Green Walls*
It was a major leap forward for your channel to move into your first office. I began watching you from the old iPhone 7 no headphone jack video, and seeing your growth both as an individual and TH-camr has been a fun and cool journey. Many of the most memorable videos come from the old days, from the MKBHD collab and some of your best rants. It is sad to hear that the old chapter of your channel has finally closed, though seeing the improvement through the years ensures me that many new memories and achievements lie ahead of you. Great job Drew, keep it up.
Same, I've been watching since he did the Mkbhd iMac Pro video
Funny, Drew literally posted a vlog about a lucid dream (kinda like a flashback while asleep) about the old attic the next day after posting this.
Switched to Mint last summer. Did the free trial, and then paid for a whole years coverage. Very happy with it, and it’s kinda nice not to have that $100/month Verizon bill.
I know you like mint but you talked about wishing they had unlimited you could at joining a Visible Party Plan it’s $25 per month for unlimited and it runs off the Verizon network
Kegan Otoole Cricket has one too and they run off AT&T network.
What if you're constantly gaming? Have you played online on it for long periods of time? I'm trying to find a good hotspot for gaming because I move a lot so I need a portable hotspot
@@starstruck4371 I also game on T-Mobile hotspot since we don't have WiFi at home. And it sucks. The speed is great. I got 265 mbs down on a speed test at 1 am outside of the city, in the county. But the problem is is latency. It makes me have like 80-100 ping on a regular.
I highly recommend Visible Mobile, this one piggy backs off of Verizon. It’s unlimited talk and text and data as well, it doesn’t cap your internet at all. It has unlimited hotspot 5mgb. It doesn’t stream video at standard definition though but honestly? Not that big of a deal for me. 40 a month. You can join a party which is like a family plan but with random people lowering your payment to 25.
I’m moving to Miami from Panama this sunday and was researching for good carriers to activate a line during my studies. Suddently I saw mint and remembered that one of my fave tech youtubers had a video about it. Thanks my man, you convinced me with this 3y old video!
I use T-Mobile and live in a relatively small town. Good enough coverage and decent speeds. Not switching anytime!
Noah Wise I live in a small city too but there are countless large cities bordering me
I live in a large city and T-Mobile can’t keep up. You can see the bars on your phone but nothing will load.
All depends on where you live. When I lived in San Antonio, T-Mobile was the fastest by far. Moved to Cleveland and they were unusable. Ten years later and T-mobile is great now.
Deadpool, get this man a sponsorship.
Best deal is at cricket wireless, 4 unlimited messages and calls lines, 22gb data each, $100 a month, no contracts.
I have Visible a Verizon MVNO I think it's better coming from Mint
Had mint, ran out of data in a week. But loving Visible, SPECIALLY the unlimited hotspot. I use it everyday in school, so I don't have to connect my laptop to the school's WiFi.
I am really thinking going to visible in February, despite of all the bad things I am hearing
Love it also since the removed the speed cap it's better, I use hotspot an lot at work I am an security so I sit an lot and watch movies over 190 gb of hotspot
I want to get Visible but it still doesn't support my unlocked (CDMA & GSM) phone. 🙄
also the taxes include in the package
Really liked mint for the time that I had it, but t-mobile coverage wasn't great so I switched to redpocket and I've been generally happy with it if you want a carrier based on att.
I really enjoy Fi I’ve used it on and off for a few years and just came back when they started their unlimited plan and I’ve never had this level of saturated coverage before very rarely do I encounter slow spots at least Google can do some things right
I have used Mint and they were totally worth it. But now I need more data. So I use Visible wireless. I've been happy with it. $25 per month in a group, stand alone it's $40. All fees included and unlimited hotspot. Runs on Verizon 's LTE network specifically. No 5G, no fallback to 3G or 2G. Works great for me.
I've been giving them a try since they had that 40% off deal. Its actually a really good deal with good service. Just activate the sim, pop it in and it just works! My only gripe is that I am getting a bit of spam text messages from weird numbers.
I just use Boost. 50$ and I never have to worry about data. I use a lot of data throughout the day when I’m out of wifi. So I just went with the unlimited plan. Sometimes I’ll find a dead spot but it’s rare where I normally go.
0:30 I was adopted 😱😱😱... into the family plan 🙄🤣🤣🤣
in tunisia there are phone carriers and wofi carriers but most of the phone carriers do wifi plan but its just a hotspot device
ill be talking sbout the phone carriers for phones not wifi
to make phone calls or texts or to pay for data thers not a bill you buy a sort of a ticker or a card like a google play card (1dtfor phone costs 1.25dt abt $0.4 and 5dt is about 5.6dt abt $1.8) you dial up a number then ypu put the code on that card and boom you can call and pay for data and all (200mo costs 1dt for my carrier but prices slightly differ) . most of the carriers offer unlimited calling between certain numbers but idk a lot about them
Me here on my 1 GB a month plan with T-Mobile 😭
The TV series upload so sad
If you like mint, you’ll love visible. $40/month unlimited everything, but with the party pay, you can pay just $25
I tried mint mobile in my area and my calls would just drop when on the phone with people. Coverage was alright but not my favorite. Sprint works better for me. Plus I was on my parents plan when I was younger they had sprint and I had my phone with them into I was 18 then got my own sprint account and I have had them for 2 years now on my own account not counting my parents plan. Sprints great for me.
Oh word once t mobile finishes getting sprint might be better for you one day
Puretipz I stick to Verizon. The only option for me is Verizon or AT&T. I don’t like connecting to WiFi if I’m not in my house and just use cellular data. I think he personally didn’t do enough research because I don’t play that much for Verizon and have much more features than he does.
Now they're merged so let's hear an update...
Z G sprint has gotten even faster and better for me where I live. Now that there merged.
I pay 25 bucks for unlimited, solid coverage and very fast, boost mobile
What do you use!? I'm a constant gamer & I need unlimited hotspot 😭
I'mnotcrying yourmomwas lol just get home internet
@@MaximusTheChosenOne unfortunately I live in an RV since I travel a lot for work and almost every company wants a 2 yr contract but I can't keep that contract if I'm constantly moving and I might end up in a place where they don't service the area
@@starstruck4371 got any good game recommendations
In my country the way you described mint is like all our carriers, and switching is just as easy, but we do have unlimited plans but we can't add lines to plans
Heard some good things about mint, I might switch eventually.
You should look into Visible. It is unlimited prepaid on Verizon’s network. Can be as low as $25 per month with 4 people in party pay. I just switched, and it’s pretty great.
Me: checking my mobile data usage of only today
My mobile: 15gb on today
Me: oh it is only $6 for 10mbps unlimited in my country
Me: ok I need to use moreeeee!!!
Have a spare phone, put it on mint, $20/8GB a month, for three months and got three months free, equates out to $10 a month for 6 months. The only problem I have with it is, where I live, T mobile has spotty to no coverage. It won’t work for me at home but in town it’s fine. Won’t switch to a service I can’t use at home.
Total Wireless and Visible Wireless are 2 MVNO providers powered by Verizon towers.
I joined Mint in August 2019. It has been a huge financial relief. As a former Metro-PC customer, I save $300 a year based on my old billing model. As a father of two, that extra money comes in handy. As far as network performance is concerned, I personally have noticed no difference overall. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.
Best move I’ve ever made with a phone service. ❤️Mint Mobile
I hope you have a better experience w/ Mint mobile than I did. I live in DFW, and the service here was horrible. I have since switched to Visible and only pay $25 a month for an unlimited plan, and still on Verizon’s network.
As an MVNO mint doesn't get access to everything on the Tmobile network. The Calls and Texts are the same. But data is limited as they only will work on selected towers. I feel like if you are going to bring up the coverage understand you are getting what you pay for.
Drew, why didn't you go for a Verizon MVNO. I'm with US Mobile and their super LTE plan is on Verizon's network. I pay 60 bucks a month for unlimited with no speed restrictions and no caps on hotspot usage as well as no throttling on video resolution. Forgot to mention their non unlimited plans are also good to.
Mint has been a good option for me. I paid $75 for the sim then 150 every 6 months for first 5gb of HS data. A year later they upped it to 8gb. Still have the unlimited talk and text. Bought my phone outright so no finance webs. Agreed with.
That's actually what happened to me and my family. My parents who use their phones for work need the more expensive plans. They own a small business so a business plan would be overkill and cost too much so they went with a family plan. My brother (33) and I (23) are still in the plan due to fact that once we leave they'll be charge ridiculous amount of fees. We of course re-emburst our folks and even buy them nicer phones than what they would pick. However, it's insane how expensive At&t can get if you don't have a grandfather plan.
Since I was 14, I’ve paid my parents $15/mo (what it cost them to add me to their plan)
I get:
AT&T 40 GB Mobile Share w/ Rollover
(Both my parents use about 1-2 GB/mo)
AT&T has better coverage + speeds than Verizon in my area
bliph Wow did they make you pay for that?
NileshR12 I pay them $15/mo instead of the $30/mo it should be
They were paying for the plan anyway, so they thought instead of lightening the cost for them, they offered to keep paying the same thing, and I only compensate what it cost to add me
bliph and Verizon has better speeds and coverage in general about 27% more in theUS also Verizon has 5G some places while nobody else has true 5G anywhere, I have both on my phone with E sim btw
I have been using Mint for over 2 years and it's been amazing

That is not irony
I tried Mint about three years ago when I heard it mentioned on the Clark Howard show. I ONLY had service when I was really near an interstate or very spotty any where else. The coverage maps are total BS!. I had to drive three miles from my house to a very specific, very small area that had coverage if I needed to make a call. The customer service was non existent. There for a while I feared not being able to port my number away from them (the number I had for fifteen or so years). As I remember, I had to operate off of a new phone number from straight talk for about 60 days before I could get my old phone number back from Mint.
I, too, prepaid for a chunk of service. I knew within a couple of days it was totally useless to me. Since there was NO WAY to talk to any one and they never returned emails (except for auto responders) I had to go through my bank to charge back the service. It took several months but my bank finally reversed the charges and credited my account.
Try mint Mobile at your own peril.
Thanks,Drew for coming over to the dark side of prepaid service.
We have more fun here.
My wife and I use Mint too! We have had no problems and are loving how much money we're saving! Glad to see one of my favorite TH-camrs is in the club as well!

You tryna tell me you’re 21
Verizon has safety mode for every new shared plan which is the same thing no overage just slow down.
But verizon has a prepaid service which is "Visible" for 40 dollars everything include
How does visible compare to straight talk? I don't know whether it's just where I live or verizons stupid mvno deprioritization is effecting me in particular really badly or what but my speeds are terrible even when supposedly getting LTE, I cant even watch youtube videos in 720p most of the time without constant buffering except for maybe *sometimes* late at night :/
I use Consumer Collier for my 3 iPhones which totally is about $70 for all three phones, which is a good price and U still get the same data amount as Mint. I like how there are alternative carriers that have reasonable prices and allow me to use whatever phone I want to.
In Libya 🇱🇾 you can get 80GB for 18$ and it’s valid for 2 months, and also in case you used up the whole package before it expires you can renew it whenever you want. And the speed is 80Mbps 4G+.
What I’ve been using for years is Straight Talk from Walmart. I pay $45 a month for 25gb of data, unlimited talk and text, using att towers. They have a Verizon and T-Mobile SIM cards in the pack as well. I just buy an unlocked phone from Best Buy and bring it to straight talk. I don’t see why more people don’t use it.
I used mint mobile and the only issue I had was the fact tmobile sucks in my area. Verizon in my area gets coverage but crap network speeds. So I use cricket. I get coverage and speed from ATT network.
I was in a similar situation where I was just piggy-backing off my parents plan.
Then I started doing some research into it, and found a 25$/month pre-paid plan with ATT that I really liked. It's only for 8 gigs of data a month, but I reckon I only use about 2-4 gigs every month on average. I never watch media on my phone, but I listen to Spotify while biking. So I need 'some' data.
And ironically, the first month just for shits and giggles I pushed it over the cap to where they purposely slow it down, and it still streamed Spotify without any lag or hiccups. So basically, it's unlimited data for me. ;)
Verizon does offer prepaid tablets but hilariously enough if you look for the single line plan from postpaid service and choose the tablet as the device there is an option for a $15 1GB tablet plan which you have to manually select that is discounted to $10 with auto pay and iPads are frequently discounted by Verizon. The overages cost $10 per 1GB.
This video looks really good, like noticeably
This man is only 21?!?! You're only 2 years older than me. I thought he was like 30
Derek Carter he doesn’t look a day over 26
FYI - Mint Mobile only uses the GSM network on T-Mobile and AT&T. If you're phone doesn't support GSM or AT&T network, you won't be able to use it on Mint Mobile. Google Fi however, does support both GSM and CDMA networks so it offers a better coverage. Also, iPhones are supported on Google Fi and pricing starts at $20 for unlimited text and calls, and data is charged literally $1 per MB of data used. For two lines, you pay $20 for first person, $15 for each additional and data is charged at $1 per MB used. I'm not a fan of paying for data plans where I'm not using all the data I'm paying for, but there is also an unlimited plan on Google Fi. fi.google.com/about/
I switched from Verizon to Google Fi a few months ago, and I couldn't be happier with the service. I actually have better coverage in some spots than I did on Verizon because Google Fi is using T-Mobile's towers, Sprint's Towers (now belongs to T-Mobile) and US Cellular towers. For those who have a supported Android device, Google Fi does support RCS on Google Messages and also supports iMessage on iPhones.
Good feedback. I recently did a Mint review video myself and enjoyed hearing your take
Checks usage 68 gigs woops nevermind
At&t has 25% off for veterans. When the IPhone 5 came out I switched from At&t to Cricket. The service was bad but I paid $70 for my wife and my self (20gb) instead $150 for At&t at that point. Over the years the price has slowly gone up with cricket so much I recently switched back to At&t and I save a few bucks. Broadband internet is not available where I live so I now pay $170 for three phones with unlimited data, one watch and one tablet.
Good job finding something that works for you.
Hey man, are you still using Mint? If so, how's it holding up? What area did you use this Network?
I used to use Tracfone, went with AT&T and am now with Verizon. Tracfone was m perfect for me then, Verizon works well for me now. AT&T was a pain.
Mint Mobile is one of the best carriers, especially on a budget. I do also agree with the annual installment. That is Mint's model, buying in bulk is cheaper and no matter what happens Mint already paid for their service in advance, if you switch carrier through the middle of the annual plan "oh well, thanks for the extra cash, we still give you service if you feel like using it, if not better for us".
Mint is overall nice. so for anyone with a good t-mobile coverage can hop on mint and be fine.
Mint mobile is an awesome deal I used to have them, I have metro by T-Mobile now because the $60 plan includes an Amazon membership and if I do the math $15 plus an Amazon account plus Amazon music and prime video I'm almost at $50 a month, so for an extra $10 I don't have the hassle of having it all separate, it's all one payment, that's why I stick with metro
You can get 6 lines on Verizon with unlimited data for 210 dollars. That’s 35 bucks a line so it’s actually a damn good deal considering you also get the best coverage...
Im traveling through the USA now and using Tmobile Unlimited for only 50 Dollars. Works pretty well as well
Not running into a lot of deadspots like so many claim T-Mobile has everywhere?
I work for Verizon so I’ll stick with them as long as I keep my 50% discount lol. I like latest phones and features so it’s nice
What do you do? I wonder if working for a phone company is worth it
Sinus Lebastian I work for Gowireless at a sales representative
Me too! I got 4 lines. With auto pay on pay 10 per line!😋

Hey Drew, looks like there's a magenta hue to the highlights and midtones in this video
TH-camr: Our data plan is expensive
me: *Cries in Rogers*
As a Mint mobile user for about 8 months I'm pretty happy about it. The coverage for the area I'm in is great and I like the updated app. I opted to use it for the(3 Gig) 3 month plan first to see how I would like it first and then I went for the (8 Gig) 6 month plan and then I just recently stepped it up to 12 months which gives the best savings. Now if you have internet at home I think 8 gigs is more than enough. I'm not always out and about a whole lot being on my phone unless I'm waiting for someone to drop off and I want to watch some TH-cam videos then it'll eat up some but you should still be good on data. But if you don't have internet then prepaid plans that don't have unlimited data isn't a good choice. Be nice if Mint does do a so called unlimited data plan which technically it isn't. But basically if your a home body a 3 gig plan you can get by as well. I had metro pcs and used 3 gig plan and only went over 3 gigs maybe twice.
Visible could be option. $25 unlimited everything and hotspot (capped at 5MBPS)
As someone who works in customer service and sales for wireless, Drew sounds all the other customers I get that doesn’t care about why certain things has to be done like the pricing, the changes, the deals and the passwords. I’m not saying you’re wrong for complaining but it’s obvious that you don’t understand why those are important. All that said though, your switch to prepaid is the right move.
I have a mint mobile plan, and it is really great!
I don’t understand US promos. They seem incredibly expensive. In Italy most providers give you unlimited phone calls and around 50-60GB of 4.5G data every month for 5€.
Kinda similar story except in the UK. Was on EE (one of the biggest carriers here, used to be T-Mobile and Orange) since I started using smartphones. Was a very cheap plan £1/week plan that gave me very little data (around 500mb data because of their boost programme). Decided to switch to VOXI (a MVNO by Vodafone) and it's great. So much cheaper than going on Vodafone itself and definitely less than EE. They have offers a lot but rn I have 12gb data, unlimited social app data, calls, texts for £10/mo. Used to be 6gb but they always have "limited" deals for 8gb. You can even pay for unlimited data on video or music apps. It's great. MVNOs rise up!
I have 5 phones, unlimited talk, text and data for $125 (for ALL five lines) a month with Cricket. It is awesome! It is fast, I’ve never been throttled (and my son doesn’t have WiFi where he is, so he goes through a LOT of data) and the coverage is amazing as they run off of AT&T network.
Thinking about dropping my current network provider, also they phasing out my older phone that I been using in Jan Not sure why they don't offer phones to long time users .
You get limited time offer of 6 month or even up to a year depending on how loyal of a customer you are to your network provider, {josephbergg@gmail.com} for your bill payment and new phones with your verizon,AT&T and sprint account with Joseph Berg retail partnership store
I used to be in that category of verizon screwed over customer before, this is without a doubt common, however I met a someone who was able to assist me, I suppose It has some thing to work along the initial limit that's placed concerning the account when it was first made,he defined to me what was wrong and even helped me upgrade, at a pretty less expensive rate, it took him much less than an hour to clear up the problem, here is his e mail {josephbergg@gmail.com}. though do counsel him, he would possibly be capable to assist you
Wow that sounds nice,how can i Get the same deal,from Joseph.
Working hard isn't the issue, It making good decisions when the opportunity comes,here {josephbergg@gmail.com}, I would have given you his store/office number but I don't know if he would mind
Ah cool,I really appreciate you helping me,this will save me a lot on my cellphone bill on Verizon, thanks ...
Verizon has their own prepaid service. The cheapest plan is the 1GB plan for $30 which is cheaper than AT&T Prepaid which charges $35 for the same. They are currently offer omg double data on plans such as $40 3GB plan offering 6GB and their $50 8GB plan offering 16GB. Their prepaid unlimited plan costs $70. There is wording that makes it clear that temporary reduced speeds may occur during congestion. I have never experienced slow speeds on their Prepaid MIFI devices so I can only assume they are careful how they slow speeds.
Why I switched to Apple
I recently switched to Verizon from Straight Talk and I really love it so far!
My family has a 10 gb per line plan on T-Mobile for like $120 that got switched to unlimited in 2016 and got switched back in 2019. Its an old plan so we are “saving” around $40 dollars.
You definitely missed out on the flip phone era. It was awesome.
Fun fact - they have Unlimited now. Post throttle (35gb) is a bit rough (128kbps) but meh, still $30/mo for basically 35gb
Mint Cons: It’s off T-Mobiles network and you are piggybacking off them. T-Mobile customers are a priority. They will shut down your texting if the towers get busy (Christmas time) calls will drop too during busy times
I just switched from AT&T to Visible and now pay $25 for unlimited everything, data (no speed cap), unlimited hotspot (capped at 5Mbps) VVM, Wi-Fi Calling,it runs on the Verizon 4G LTE network, it’s a steal of a deal... We had a family plan that was getting out of hand expensive, we are saving literally hundreds of dollars after switching...
