Most plans don't meet my needs got have the best of best plans from the carriers I'm a data beast.

1/A proposal to increase smart phone card services by charging the card with encrypted digital currencies such as digital dollars and digital euros
2/Entering the passport information and data service for remote countries and entry visas in order to develop card services In order to help travelers and tourists from all over the world This is in order to facilitate travel procedures between countries
(Please send these suggestions to the administrators about the eSIM card)
Question why is unlimited only has 480p streaming while the other ones has 4k streaming.
@@demonfox560 on Verizon get more you get 720p streaming but if you're an ultra wide band area which includes c band or millimeter wave then you can stream in 4k
You might want to edit that censor bar to run a bit longer. For a brief second you can clearly see the phone number. Excellent video! I've been using Mint Since 2020. Absolutely love it.
Also, when Ryan is joining, it shows Stetson's phone number as well.... No bueno. Ryan's phone number was also visible on Stetson's phone at the same time.
@@Sushigrl1029 he's probably gonna get a ton of phone calls
I’m surprised he missed these.
That's if the numbers are even real
Back when I had Mint, every time you’d pay your bill, there was a $17 administration fee +$3 taxes, so if you paid annually you only paid the $20 in taxes and fees one time, if you pay quarterly you will pay it four times. It was a deal changer for me, I chose a cheaper plan.
Cheaper from who? Everybody charges taxes/fees and there are not many less expensive options around but go on share your insight so we can all save that $$$
@@I.am_Groot i dont need much data $5 hello mobile
@@dna1737 I mean if 1/2 of a GB of data is enough sure that's a deal but Hello charges more than Mint for similar service.
Mint would charge you $20 in taxes every quarter? That's a rip off!
@@dualityofman1253 that was actually a few years ago, went back recently it’s about $7 in taxes and recovery fees
This was super helpful. Was on chat with Mint to get switched to the new Modern Family. I don't think they understood the plan. The key was "Pay over time" in the plan change page. Once you showed that, I was able to get the plan changed on both my accounts. Thanks!
Thank you for keeping me updated
You're welcome, Chad!
So no additional discount to go "family?"- only advantage is not having to pay for all parties once a year? Stetson, I love your videos. I tell everyone I know that you are the best in being the "cell phone pimp daddy"- love your website
Great video Stetson! Still looking for the ‘Family Plan Comparison’ link though. 🧐
Love what you’re doing here. One thing I’d love to see on your website is an indication of whether the price is tax included (like visible) or what the taxes and fees are, for those who add them, which mint does. Thanks for this great service.
Hey Mim, thank you so much for your support, and for your comment! You have a great suggestion. My question for you--where would you like to see the indication of whether taxes or fees are included? On the graphic of the plan card itself? Somewhere else?
Right now each plan has a section on the website that says, "Estimated Total Plan Cost". This section includes whether taxes are included, and it also shows an estimated total monthly price for the plan.
I'm always working to make my site better, so I appreciate your feedback!
@@StetsonDoggett I think it would be helpful to have a little indication +tax/fees on the plan card for those that have them, or an indication tax/fees included with the plan feature list, and then the details under the "Estimated Total Plan Cost". I was a Mint subscriber for 5 years, first under the 12 month 12gb plan, which turned into the 15gb, then the unlimited plan. Thanks to your website and videos I switched to Visible. A factor in that decision was that Visible's price included taxes. The secondary factor was that Visible has an Apple watch LTE add on for 5 dollars tax in, which I benefitted from.
@@mimandshaindy4906 I think this isn't the Mint Mobile official is it? That info is easily obtained it took me about 5 minutes when I checked it out
Looking forward to the Visible party pay video.
Not related to Mint, but can you do a video on the new US Mobile plans? I switched to US Mobile last month and their new unlimited plans (And elimination of the regular data 30gb plan) have me very confused. Like do the regular data plans (5, 12, 18) have the same features as the Unlimited Basic or the Unlimited Premium? Thanks!
Great video. What is the difference between "Int. Data" vs "Roaming" And, what if Roaming is not available?
I just switched from Mint Mobile’s unlimited $30 plan to AT&T Starter. Wish me luck Stettson 🥰😉😁
I wish you luck, Mommy Cat! I hope you like the AT&T Starter plan!
I have been on Visible for one year and I’ve had no problems. I tried Mint, mainly because they have international roaming add-ons. It turns out my house is a dead zone, even though I am supposed to have coverage there. So Mint won’t work for me. Are there any Verizon network MVNOs that offer international roaming add ons for talk and text?
I like my single-plan just fine, but watch out for "provisioning fees". At $45, that was 3 months of the *plan's* cost.
I tried the test sim with my phone, even though my phone is listed as supported, even sold by T-Mobile I had issues with it.
I own a factory unlocked A71 5G, biggest issue is I could get data, but I couldn't call or test in the normal sense. The phone would pause when trying to make a call, wait about 20 seconds, than drop LTE/5G and go to 2G?? Than place the call, but every time there was that 20 seconds of silence after I hit call.
I couldn't receive any calls either which was odd, only thing which worked flawlessly was the mobile data, never had an issue with that. No amount of testing APN's ever solved the issue, though I ran across many posts online (searching for a fix) which mentioned this problem.
SoI already have an existing mint mobile plan and I paid for my brother is there a way to make that a mint mordern family plan or do I have to get a new number?
How does this benefit as opposed to two separate, individual mint plans? What is the point? If I have Mint and my brother has it, its still $14.99/mo for us individually, joining together on a "family plan" appears to have zero benefit.
What about the new us mobile plans as well? Any good?
I switched to Mint Mobile. Now on group messages the limit is 10 recipients. I'm using android S21. Do other carriers have this same problem?
I dont see the price difference between paying the lines individually and paying them as a whole. What's the point?
Can you do a review in detail of T-Mobile 5g home internet and Verizon 5g home internet
Family 4gb, is that 4gb/line? Not sharing, right?
Can you make a video on what plans carry the most new phones like xiaomi and gaming phones
Mint allows you to increase your data plan, but if you do your stuck with that higher tier. I had annual plan and because of travel I increased data plan. But after 2 months of travel I was back home using wifi and didn't need the extra data. Couldn't move back down to lower data tier.
So you couldnt downgrade?
Stop spreading misinformation. You can downgrade. You just need to stop being lazy and call them directly. They did it for me with no issues last year.
Thanks for the tshirt just ordered the 5g black one
Lmao
Can you do a version with tax and fees included? Some of these are without taxes and fees and will drastically change the formula
Thanks!
hey can you check out this company called hello mobile pretty sure it runs off tmobiles towers ?
I just did the switch from Verizon to mint mobile unlimited and internet works great but texting and receiving text from or to anyone is horrible you have to call someone for your text to go thru or receive a text from or to anyone
The way his phone number is still shown
Been with mint for 2020
I have magenta Max AT&t elite and Verizon get more I using about 900gb combine between all three in a month so mint is out of question.
I am curious on what you use it for. Do you never turn on wifi at all? Even then, to casually use 900GB a month is still a lot since it's 300GB per device
@@triparadox.c I don't have WiFi at my home and going to different places and doing a ton of speed test on all three I use a lot of data if it's a mmwave one speed test can you use 5gb. Also streaming 4k video and everything backup over cellular since there no data cap on this plans. Also online gaming on my phone use a lot of band with
Lol Green 😅 Mint Mobile is definitely not for you!
@@StetsonDoggett I helping raising the average data usage.
He never talks about Consumer Cellular they are a good carrier not the best customer support I had them for 5 years perfectly fine coverage I loved em on my backup phone while I had them I have Sprint too, I switched to T-Mobile and I was in the T-Mobile store on the phone for a hour thought trying to switch they are very cheap and great though I have unlimited idk why.
Before I finish watching this.
TMobile is my last option for cell service. In my area they are worse than Verizon and that is not good.
If you don’t want to get tied in to a contract and want the best service imho the only option is Cricket. Since ATT took over the service quality has gone up dramatically. And I highly recommend them for people who have the most common phones, IPhones ,Samsung etc.
If you have a OnePlus or other brand that is not a well known brand here in the us. Cricket will not support your device, even if their sight says they will, they won’t.
So providers like mint are going to be where you will head.
Check cricket just the same, imo the service is better and the group price per month is better.
But if they don’t support your phone?
Case in point I bought a One Plus 10pro. Crickets sight says they support 1 model of the 10pro. So I bought it. Yah the sight was ah ……. In error.
A few years back cricket was great. They supported everything GSM.
Now I guess if your company doesn’t suck up to ATT, your product gets no support.
Any way. Waiting for my mint SIM card to show up in the mail.
I would recommend to censor the phone when ryan got the invite
Is it a voip number?
The aesthetics are top notch
Thank you, Dan!
US Mobile is the way to go!!!!!
I don’t see how this is any different from the regular one. Still have to buy a years worth.
The new Mint Modern Family Plan lets you pay quarterly for the annual plans. So if you get Unlimited plan, instead of being $360 upfront it will be $90 per quarter for each family member who has that plan.
@@StetsonDoggett I guess I missed that. Might be worth it then since fiancé and I may be combining plans soon.
@@doomy_doomy2225 maybe not worth it after all, someone commented that you have to pay the "recovery/provisioning" fee everytime you bill is due. Its like 20 bucks for me on the 1 years plan and id rather pay that once vs 4 times a year.
You seem to have a good relationship with mint you should try and ask to have Ryan Reynolds on the best phone plans podcast
I'd love to have Ryan on!
Mint Mobile should become a Verizon MVNO. It seems most of Mint's user base care more about coverage than speed.
I think Mint customers are happy with Mint. I don't think they should switch to Verizon. I think it would make more sense for them to create a new MVNO on Verizon instead. That siad, this leaves a golden opportunity for US Mobile to do bulk pricing on Verizon.
@@StetsonDoggett Mint markets nationwide coverage (Verizon's strong suit) more than ultra-fast speeds (T-Mobile's strong suit), though, and plus, slower speeds would mean that their data plans won't be as limiting. It feels weird to have 500mbps on a plan with only 4GB of data, which you could easily burn through in a day at those speeds.
@@davidempire4874 T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and eventually Dish all will have weak spots in coverage. To say T-Mobile doesn't have national coverage is a lie
@@elliekim6666 T-Mobile has great coverage but there are many rural places which have perfect Verizon coverage but no T-Mobile coverage. Mint users are genuinely not that techie and won't mind if they're connected to 4G LTE or low-band 5G instead of the glorious 5G UC.
I like to use Mint occasionally. If they were to switch to Verizon, it'd be a no go. As good as Mint is for discounts, I don't think they can really compete with Visible when it comes to deals. And Verizon whitelist of phones is so huge, I think it'd actually hurt them in the long run. Other companies are starting to copy Mint though, so their single line plans don't look as good today as they did a few years ago.
I found this video very confusing... I was trying to multitask, but still the video had too much info and at a very fast pace.
Hey, Stetson, do you love earning a full time living?
Mint was a total failure for me because the signal was zero, even outdoors when it was supposed to be 4G. Also, it wouldn't work with the home wifi because we didn't have high end phones. After a nightmare of getting out of Mint (they wouldn't give us our account numbers at first because we couldn't receive a text message with a code), we switched to Visible. It works with the wifi and since Verizon does work here, there are no problems.
Sounds like you get better Verizon coverage than T-Mobile coverage in your area!
Visible and US Mobile is for you!
Your own fault - you should have done your homework and checked the towers. Dweeb
@Prophet Mohammad I did do my homework. The coverage map showed no gaps in coverage in my area. The wifi issue wasn't mentioned anywhere on the website. Therefore, you're the dweeb.
Please dial down phone btand loyalism
These are great family plans if u are saying money.
I agree! Mint's plans are awesome for people who use low to average data amounts.
So it's 150 a month for unlimited for a month
I wish they deprioritized after 35 gigs not 2g (unusable speeds).
It’s prepaid service, the plan itself is already deprioritized.
Ryan's number is shown! fix it! at 5:16
im thinking Stetson has to know this isnt Ryans real personal number, probably just a promotional type thing, it was shown in Stetsons twitter as well
Yes, this is a joke, lol :) It's also my number. I signed up with two lines so I could create this video!
Lol.
Did this simplified review or layout made it more complicated? Unnecessarily
lol what
US Mobile already uses that payment format
You should fo a 4g test and 5g test

You have way too many links in the description, I can't find the one to the tool you created. Our time is valuble. Great video accept for wasting our time trying to send us to too many places that earn you money.
Do a video for Black wireless so I can get top comment 😘
lol 😂
@@StetsonDoggett bro you already know your videos are great lol thank you for your videos and clean style. Be safe out here, bless up buddy.
♥️✨♥️💯
There's no purpose of getting Mint Mobile if you don't have coverage. I got ripped off and now I can't get a refund. $380 for a yearly subscription of unlimited data but no coverage! How is it possible that I had great coverage with the new customer deal but once I purchased a year of unlimited I now don't have coverage! Run away and get service with coverage. I should've gone with AT&T or Verizon.
Mint Mobile is definitely not one I would go with since I live in New Zealand and only visit the USA on vacation and am only in the USA for two to three weeks
US Mobile or Tello would be better options for you.
@@StetsonDoggett That would be true if I had a phone sold in the USA which I might get on my next visit. US Mobile told me my New Zealand bought iPhone wont work on eSIM which is what I would need. If I am unable to buy a USA sold iPhone on my next visit I will stay with AT&T or T-Mobile. I will need to check the IMEI of an unlocked USA sold iPhone on the network I use here in New Zealand.
First 🥇
lol, in my analytics this comment shows up as second. I appreciate your support and ninja-quick typing though!
I loved Mint service, I just switched to Visible because they also support my Apple Watch. Looks like you and Ryan are good friends, please let him know Mint needs number sharing for wareables like yesterday!
I am having THE MOST infuriating experience with MM. NOTHING we’ve done to solve this issue has worked. New SIM cards don’t work, nothing. Every time I call out there’s a loud tapping sound like someone is listening in on my call and tapping a metal pen on a metal desk right into the phone. The recipient of my phone call doesn’t hear it, but I do. It’s impossible to talk over. Incoming calls have no issues. I live a very normal life. There’s nothing to spy on my calls over, though Google is insistent that my calls are being tapped. But I still am a bit worried about privacy with MM being much more vulnerable than with other carriers. I really need to save money right or I’d jump back to another carrier in a minute although I detest Verizon and ATT for other reasons/confirmed corrupted morals.
Would you gift me a phone as a birthday gift ? 😪
35 GB? NO, THANKS!
It’s T-Mobile, so mostly it sucks!
Do not buy mint mobile customer service sucks bottom line it is a real problem......
Mint mobile is dumb. If you can't afford Verizon flat rate then you should just use spectrum because at least you will have spectrum hotspots vs random wifi after you use your pitiful data allowance and can't even use most software.
