Does anyone have any experience with mint mobile in the USA Northeast?
I know they were acquired by t mobile but I’m currently on AT&T and looking into trying to save a little money.
I’ve been using it for almost two years. I’m pretty happy with it.
I do. It’s been an upgrade for my family in Southern New Hampshire. I’m not sure what happened but for the longest time Verizon had the “best” coverage. By that I mean not atrocious; every other carrier was awful. Something changed coincident with their 5G rollout, Verizon coverage significantly declined. We switched to Mint and we couldn’t be happier. My family is on wifi the majority of the time so we can roll with their smallest plans. We probably cut our bill down to 2/3 of what it was.
One hint, if you travel internationally, don’t use Mint’s international roaming credits. It doesn’t work a lot of time. Buy local ESIM coverage. There are apps for that.
Not from the northeast but I’ve been using Mint for 3+ years now. It’s pretty good. It has lower priority so you’ll get spotty speed in saturated areas. Not sure if that will change with the T-Mobile acquisition though. We went to a 55k attendance concert and I could barely use any data. Also, what you save with payments has the equivalent cost cutting with their support. If you don’t have any issues you’ll generally be fine. If you have to contact support though, be ready and pack a lot of patience.
I have used Mint for like the last five years in south NJ and love them. Yes, they are lower priority, so if you go to very dense and busy locations often (think malls and stadiums) you maybe have issues.
Mint offers ways to get a free trial though between the Mint App and Mint website. Definitely take the trial before buying a plan — even though they have a refund policy, it’s only 7 days, and they aren’t the greatest at honoring it. Get a free trial SIM and give it a whirl on the places you go first, before making the leap.
And finally, never ever buy a phone from Mint.
