Once a year, I pay about $200, and for next 12 months, I have no mobile phone bill at all. Switching from AT&T to Mint cut my mobile phone spending by 80%.

    I'm on Mint right now, and with the exception of having no data service in rural areas while traveling, I've had zero complaints. Except in those limited rural areas, my data speeds are very fast (typically with a 5G connection, occasionally dropping to LTE). I have tried Visible several times over the past 2 years, and every single time I regretted it. The service was horrible (in areas where Verizon's direct service is perfect), with texts not coming through, strange garbled voice calls, and numerous times I had no service at all. When I briefly switched to a direct Verizon account (with the outrageous monthly prices), all of those issues went away, so clearly Visible was the problem. No thank you, I'll stick with Mint.

      Unfortunately even though the Verizon is only LTE where I live and slower than T-Mobile, I would choose Visible over mint mobile, as unlike mint mobile if the tower you're connecting to is congested after you use your premium data it slows down, but speed goes back up after the congestion goes away.

      At these prices, I could sign up for BOTH Mint and Visible (that's what I'm test driving right now) and still be below the single line cost from AT&T
      If one's phone supports dual SIMs it doesn't hurt to have multiple providers if you travel.
      Not to mention, I still carry an AT&T phone for work, so I'm covered during travel with all three carriers.

Being able to pay my phone bill in advance for the year at a 3rd of what my yearly bill expense was on ATT is amazing. Switching myself and my husband to Mint is saving us a easy 1200 per year.

    I’m considering switching from T-Mobile prepaid 10GB to Mint Mobile 15GB. When I first joined I was under impression I had free UA-cam and music streaming under BingeOn and then they downgraded it to Music Unlimited. Heard T-Mobile prepaid had same data priority as T-Mobile postpaid plans as opposed to Metro or Mint but in my case it didn’t seem to matter when sometimes my data was very slow or unusable even under 5G when in town or concert so I might well go with cheaper Mint plans.

      Good luck. After the trial period is over, Mint Mobile begins to “steal” cellular data.
      For example, I got the 15 gig plan because that’s what I’ve always had with other carriers and I never ran out.
      But, with Mint, I had to keep getting more and more data, because I would run out. I’m currently on their 40 gig plan and I can listen to my podcasts for about two days before I run out.
      And, since I had to pay up front for a full year’s service with no refund ability… I’m just screwed.
      Ryan Reynolds got 300 million outta the sale and continued to make bank on the commercials… but, T-Mobile turned his baby into just another cellular scam.

Mint now has some better competition out there and me resigning with them is no longer automatic or even a definite #1 option.

    I’ve used Mint for about a year now. No major complaints compared to my previous carrier, though the deprioritized data is annoying once in a while. Not as annoying as spending $35 a month instead of $15 though.
    I will say though, Tello’s $6 custom plan is pretty great for secondary devices. 500mb of high speed data and unlimited low speed data, as well as talk and text, is all you really need for a device that’s not your main one, and $6 a month can’t be beat. I used it for a month when I was transitioning from iPhone to Android, so my old phone would still have service whenever I needed it before I got my new phone completely set up.

Now I get, essentially, the same service (actually better as the T-Mobile network has better coverage in my area) for a quarter of the price. The only thing I gave up was international usage which isn’t a big deal. We will have to see if the low prices continue under T-Mobile but, for now, I am locked in for a while at a great rate.

The catch is I need to connect to a hotspot which is provided by a tablet using a local SIM.

    Visible is for people that want new phones, less than two years old. My Note 9, which I purchased on 01 September 2018 is neither compatible or worth any trade-in value, though it is completely undamaged, and fully functional. The original battery still lasts an entire day. I believe the $149 per month I pay to T-mobile for two phones is high, but I have not made up my mind on how to change that. T-mobile has the best coverage in my area, but Verizon's coverage is almost as good. I also could get the 'over 55' discount.
    An important consideration is not wanting my house LAN and my cell phones to be with the same carrier. The LAN ISP is Verizon, so if I move my cell phones to Verizon, I need to find another ISP for my LAN, such as Breezeline or Comcast.
