Mint Mobile
If the constant barrage of Ryan Reynolds and his super-cheapMint Mobileads on YouTube hasn’t been enough for you this holiday season, maybe — just maybe — the company’s rather impressive holiday deal may finally push you over the edge to give the affordable service a try.
Mint Mobile is taking its 3-month plans, which already offer quite an incredible value compared to other cheap wireless services, and spicing them up for new customers by giving away an additional 3 months of service with each plan absolutely free. This means that a full six months of service can cost you as little as $45 total, depending on your data needs.
Why this Mint Mobile holiday deal is worth your money
Even though Mr. Reynolds constantly repeats just how little Mint spends on its marketing, the truth is, the affordable wireless carrier is anything but cheap. While these deals only work on the 3-month plans (not the 6 or 12 month options), the starting price of just $15 for the basic 5GB per month tier is one of the best values you’ll find. Plus, the coverage and dependability of the service is also actually quite good, since it runs on T-Mobile’s network.
So getting an extra 3 months of service at no charge makes giving Mint a try a worthy bargain, even if there are some caveats to switching to one of the “cheaper” carriers. Some rural areas around the country won’t have a great signal, and in many cases, there won’t be any service at all. So, the farther out you are in the boonies, the less likely you’ll want to give Mint Mobile a try.
However, cities and other highly populated areas will get great mobile speeds and coverage. Piggybacking on T-Mobile’s LTE and 5G network, Mint Mobile offers impressive connection stability and performance for the lower price tags its plans offer, making it one of the best cheap carriers available. When comparingMint Mobile vs Visible, for instance, the quality of the network overall is one of the most notable differences.
The only downside to this deal is that it’s only available to new customers, so loyal users are unfortunately out of luck. That said, you can bring your old phone or take your pick from some of thebest Mint Mobile phones, which include the likes of the newGoogle Pixel 8 Proand the Samsung’s premiumGalaxy S23 Ultra. You can also find some extra deals to take advantage of if youbundle a new phone and wireless servicefrom Mint together.
