I Used Mint Mobile For 1 Month...Here's How it Went. 

I've been using Mint for 7 months. Prepaid for the year, 15 a month. I've had No Problems. Has always worked and any service questions have been solved quick and easy. It's a 100 in my book.

Nice review. Very accurate. When I joined Mint a year ago AT&T locked the third phone I tried to move even though it was bought from an Apple store. After fighting with AT&T on the phone for about 15 min they released the software block and allowed the remaining two phones to move. Just be aware the legacy carriers don’t like Mint Mobile and may block you to force you to call and talk to them to get you to release you.

Thanks for the info. I just paid off my Verizon phone so I canceled them and signed up to Mint and it turns out the area I just moved to has better T-mobile coverage than Verizon anyway so I think I'm going to be happy with it.

It’s nice to see a talented, friendly, intelligent , regular guy giving me great info that might be useful to me. Thanks great channel. Subscribed. Refreshing to see someone who is trying to help other people out, not just rant

I was with AT&T for years and moved to Google Fi last year. Coverage was ok, but their customer service is literally non-existent. Just moved to Mint Mobile today with their 3 months free promo when you pay for 3. I love the concept of paying lower rates by paying in bulk. I think its going to work out great for me.

Wow, thanks for this video. I have the same phone you do, and just got notice from Verizon my bill is going up $6 next month. Like the idea of Mint, but like you, thought 'too good to be true'. Good advice, honest commentary. Although have always had Verizon (and happy with it), not happy they cancel plans I have used just to jack up the price. Considering switching very seriously.

Good info! Glad we have services like this to save some money, the phone plans here are ridiculous with limited data.

Adrian, I rock the BlackBerry Classic....so you're way newer than I.

Excellent content and informative! New subscriber. ❤️

Good video. Keep them coming and your channel will grow.

1:08 First problem spotted here, biggest attraction to Mint is Ryan tbh LOL, on a real note great and informative video!

I love the way you never SUGAR COAT any of your reviews. Thanks for the Mint Mobile Review. Interesting!

Thank you for that. My husband & I have T-mobile. So, it helps

My family and I use Boost Mobile. Does anyone out know how Mint would compare? We live in Memphis TN.

I just switched to mint mobile. So far so good. The only bad thing was I didn’t get a phone call and it went straight to Voicemail. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. Other than that I like mint mobile and I like that I can save money

I almost never leave my house, and coverage for my area is huge. I was paying $720 a year. Switched to mint, and it was half the price. I'm very happy with the savings.

Im in Mississippi in a small town the calls work but the internet is slower then dail up

i switched to mint mobile about 2 months ago. service is just as good as AT&T (my old carrier), and its waaaaay cheaper. I also just found out they dropped their prices as well. 15$ for any plan, #deflategate

Been using Google Fi for about 5 years. Very good, if not excellent coverage, compared to other top cell services.

What happens if you have to cancel? Or, can you cancel? if you start your service, and as you suggest you go to all the places you call from or need coverage at, and find out you don't have coverage ... what are your options?

I've had the 6 month plan 10gb data and i dont even use close to 10gb lol i renewed for a 4gb year plan for 200 bucks great deal and dont have to worry about it for a damn while.

So I also live in central MS. And currently have cspire and have had them forever! But I’m wanting to switch. So your service is still good with Mint? And doesn’t Mint use T mobile towers? Thanks

Thank you!!

Is the Galaxy S8 still receiving security updates? I guess it’s ok if you don’t use open WiFi networks

Using Consumer Cellular which also uses T-Mobile Towers. Service is OK, but Mint still beats their rates, even with the AARP discount! :O

Have had Mint Mobil for over a year now. In fact re-uped for second year a few months ago. Service is excellent. Quality of service depends on carrier not Mint Mobil. I have a really old Samsung S5 and everything works fine. The switch over from my old carrier was easy. In fact when I originally switched to consumer cellular from my legacy carrier it was a first class mess taking tons of time following everything C/C told me to do. Switching to M/M took only a few minutes and I was back on line quickly despite M/M saying it may take a while for the actual connection to function. I was offered a choice of T-Mobil or AT&T as the carrier and could choose depending on who had the best service in my area. I did go with T-Mobil as I had their service originally, then through C/C and it was far better than the other legacy carriers I have used in the past in my area (suburban).

You are correct, IF T-Mobile works in your area, then Mint is great. I've been on Mint for a few years now. No problem for me. But my family was in a different location that did not have good coverage for T-Mobile. For 4G anyway. So it didn't work too well for them. Now we all have upgraded to 5G phones and are on T-Mobile coverage. Works great. For a month I switched to Tello from Mint. Tello also uses T-Mobile and is even cheaper than Mint and sells month to month plans. Perfect for my needs for one month. With new 5G phones, T-Mobile and Mint and Tello all work great in my area now.

I use Cricket now. Same here I work in a rural area, but with Cricket I do get service. You seem way more educated than me on this topic. Do you think I could get the same service if I went with Mint? Anyone please let me know.

What’s the coverage like in northeast Mississippi? I been thinking about switching to mint mobile. I live in Tupelo.

Thanks for sharing. I'm currently using TMobile Magenta. I've been pretty happy with it but it just costs so much. Ive been looking for a cheaper option that wouldn't give me just a terrible experience with like bad speed and data. I'm definitely considering switching to Mint. Just curious, is Mint still your current provider, or did you continue using Verizon after you tested it for a month?

so far even though the phone shows 3 bars a lot of the time I cant make calls, they said my phone was compatible but it wont work, something about using the in home wifi even though it was working with verizon and my in home wifi, verizon has lost all cell service for me for about 3 months despite me having cell service for 16 years. Still waiting for MM to work. once in a while I can send and recieve texts but it might take minutes or even hours for the texts to go through, today one went through 20 minutes later but the MM phone said it didnt go through. yes I bought a MM alcatel phone. but so far MM gets a zero stars review from me

I was already on Tmobile and a low data user, so this was a no brainer. I pay for the entire year but it averages out to 60% LESS per month (plus, I get a higher data rate limit, which I will probably NEVER use all of. The only thing that would make this deal sweeter will be if Deadpool3 has a 4th wall plug/promotion for Mint Mobile! That would be too funny!! 😅😅

I got this late . It was a good video.

I use a Verizon right now. I am having an issue with my phone like taking forever to load or when I go out of an app or out of like RU-vid or I go out of something I'm looking at you know.

The SIM card codes I received were both bad. one of them was even expired. MInt's activate page doesnt even load. Mint Mobile is either run by a bunch of clowns or a scam. Everyone I know - in REAL LIFE - has requested a refund. 2 out of 4 got theirs.... been 7 days and im still waiting for mine. Hope Mint mobile paid you well for this video

3 year Mint customer using 12 month plan for two lines. One big plus for Mint is a free Hotspot.

I currently pay 178/ month for two lines with T mobile. Am halfway into our 2 year contract. Would appreciate suggestions as I think we're overpaying for what we're getting.

I use mint

This issue for me is T-Mobile's crappy coverage. I have a T-Mobile work phone, and my personal phone is on Xfinity Mobile which piggybacks on Verizon. In the shop where I work, T-Mobile consistently has 1 or 2 bars, while my Xfinity phone will have full bars. And this isn't just at work, Xfinity Mobile on Verizon is just far more consistent than T-Mobile with its spotty coverage.

Works for me..

The low "$15" per month price is really MORE, like $17 because of fees and taxes. (I did not realize, I saw this video and gave a comment 11 months ago.)

I have been boycotting Ryan Renals ever since he started his con-mercial.

I switched to mint, got a phone from them they sent this pos lg aristo glitchy af came with wrong cord I’m sending this garbage back, just put the sim in my old iPhone seems to be working better, I’ll update you on the return, refund process x my fingers

You have to look at it. You have that s8. It don't handle all the new bandwidth that put out now.

I saw that commercial too and was wondering how good the service was. Now I don't. Thanks

Mint mobile is horrible - it constantly throws you off the data and says “no internet connection” …. Tried it for 4 days and had to reset my phone 7 times, canceled and got my refund.

3:10. Who spends "thousands and thousands of dollars" on a PHONE?! Who do YOU hang out wth? I'd like to see these phones up close and personal.

I'm breaking up with Verizon - which is why I'm here.

Sure MINT may be good if $15+tax and fees per month is a good price but there are a small number of other carrier operators with less expensive plans - IF you don't need so much text/talk/data.

Like a lot of RU-vid videos out there...way to much fluff info before getting to the point.

This service did NOT perform well at all. Be careful. My first clue is when I called customer service and the Bot said “Ah Fuck, sorry your having problems!” HMMMMM I tried it anyhow and everyone we called either broke up a lot or if they called us they could not hear us talking. Then it is a Royal PIA to switch your number back!

I tried Mint Mobile. $15 a month. They go up to $25 a month after the first 3 months. Do not tell you that!

I feel data speeds on mint are always throttled down. Mint mobile is not that good. Basic service at best. My first mistake was buying my iPhone from them. Must use there service for 12 months before they will unlock your phone. You are forced to use their service and renewing comes with $14 recovery fee. >>>>>"The Recovery Fee is assessed to help recover Mint Mobile's costs to comply with various federal and state programs, taxes and fees. It also includes a flat fee per transaction to help recover other administrative fees." This is a garbage fee and does not make Mint mobile any type of value. Im 3 months in with Mint and im not a fan. My iPhone is paid in full and Mint will not unlock my iPhone.

Mint mobile was bad the internet is sorry

So can I really pay month to month with this service getting the 30$ unlimited plan? I have metro which is owned by team mobile that I pay 40$ for unlimited everything, I see that boost mobile has prepaid plan for new customers at 25$ month which beats mint mobile, thing I fear is if I choose either one of them that if I don't like the service that if I try go back to metro I won't get the 40$ unlimited plan back they would charge me 50$ month, it's a gamble I would say.

i live in river road Maryland its terrible no service co canal no service Potomac area some no service i want go back to tmobile

TracFone offers a plan very similar. A one year plan that comes out to about $16.00 a month. Service is good.

NO man omg.. this service is terrible where i live. I live outside of HARRISBURG the state capital in a burough omg this service is not good. I get disconnected a lot. In order for me to receive pass code text I have to shut my phone off and turn it back on. People cant hear me half the time. Important calls go to voice mail my phone does not even ring. You can TELL the difference. The only reason i switched to mint was because i get like 10 calls a month. NOBODY CALLS ME except people i do not want to talk to. The calls that I do get are important like my doctor and other appointments. I was trying to save some money other than spending 60.00 a month. I was just on the phone trying to pay my capital one bill the balance and it was like you wish to pay the minimum due... and i was like what... nobody else can hear me correctly. I use to work for Verizon and can tell you they own their lines it is not beneficial for them to let other venders use them and NOT BE CUSTOMERS and because net neutrality is gone they can manipulate those lines any way they desire. I will give this a few more months but no matter how much i like Ryan Renolds i may have to go back.

I just got off a CHAT Line with Mint, ONLY because they SAY you can call their main number, and talk to a REAL HUMAN, but give it a try. There's NO "Press This Number" to talk to an operator, or someone in BILLING, as THAT is the dept I needed to talk to. Here's another couple things Adrian. I think I was misled by the sales dude when I signed up for this. He said I was getting a "Senior Plan" at $15/mo, paid qtrly, and never said it was an INTRO Offer, which the Chat Gal told me it was. I believe therefore that it was deceitful, as I SAW the Senior Plan listed on its Shop Plans page in Dec/Jan. AND I kept my phone and number, and now somehow the "Virtual Voicemail" on my Samsung cell is all screwed up, and SHOULD but does not work the same as it did with AT&T, and it's my same phone. NOT a happy camper. So now IF I even keep it, as my first REAL payment is due on 4/30, at now $75/mo. This company still has alot of issues and areas to iron out internally. Back in the 1980's, I actually sold Executone phone systems, so I know a little about that and other computer areas. I'd advise people to be very cautious and a bit wary. $10/mo MORE isn't going to break me, but it is always more about Principle and Business Fairness dealings that count with me. Because of the timeliness, I'll probably pay this invoice, but then SNOOP at other services like Consumer Cellular in the next 3 month period.
