    I've had it for over a year and I did a trial and paid for a year. Less than 35 a month for unlimited and I use all the data I want, ran out once and it still worked for basic stuff. I also love that I know I don't have to worry about a bill for a year or more.

      @@dannac_8888 Because no one really does Unlimited for 30 dollars a month. After you use 35 GB it still works just not as a fast. It changed recently to where you go from 5G/4G to 3G when you use all your high speed, I've only done that once and that was me trying.

    Been using Mint for 3 years and their service has gotten so bad with no tech support, only customer service reps faking it and they don't even know how to turn on visual voicemail, one rep didn't even know what visual voicemail was, and when I asked for s supervisor, he put me on hold and after 20 minutes, disconnected. They really suck. I'm thinking of switching to US Mobile or Visible.

    Can you pin this comment? Let me explain.
    I was a new customer and got 3 months for free and it was great. Fast speeds and great coverage. But when I purchased the 12 month plan of unlimited data $380 , I now don't get coverage in my room. The same room where I used to get coverage. Now I can't even stream movies or live PPV via USB to my TV because I lose coverage. I can't get a refund either even after speaking with a supervisor. It's better paying monthly and knowing you get coverage than to pay $380 and not have any signal. Dropped calls and lose of service signal. Worst decision I've ever made and regret paying for the year.
    Update, the coverage is great, now I can't complain but what the heck was going on the past few months?

    What I'm trying to find out is if my trust fund pays for a new phone and new plan, will they allow the account to be in MY name with MY transferred number (if it's in the name of my trust or the attorney who is the legal firms primary attorney can the account show as my account so I can transfer my number from AT&T [not possible if the account is in any other name because someplace/someone else is paying as AT&T will refuse to transfer the number]?)? I called the company and the first agent said "No" then "Yes" then "No" and back and forth. She transferred me to someone else who claimed "yes" and how to do it, then said something showing "no" then "yes" again.

    Right now, I'm on a Verizon family plan. I'm wanting to branch out on to my own. Lately, Verizon hasn't been doing great service wise for me. Mint doesn't have the $15 deal anymore, so I'd have to pay $25 for 15GB for 3 months. Would that be worth it? They also say on their website that I could "lock in" the same price as the first 3 months.

    • @vm2aros

      You can lock in the intro price if you go on to purchase a 12 month plan after your intro offer of 3 months is out. I think all intro offers are still good (compared to big expensive services) and if you go on to buy a 12 month plan after that is the cheapest and best way.

      You should be able to get a refund. They give you your money back in 7 days. I did it once. Sucks that you couldn’t use on a locked device but they wouldn’t know that until they have your device info. They have a portal online that you can put the imei info into to see if your own phone is locked. If you have paid off your phone, call your carrier and have them unlock it.

      It’s $25 per month if you renew for next 3 months, and international calling is extra. With Tello Mobile, I am paying $14 per month for 2 GB data, set up to pay automatically from my credit card, and I get international free calling to 60 countries.
