Why I switched to Mint Mobile (from Verizon)

LOL, we're definitely not holding up signs. Please thank your friends and family for introducing you to Mint. We're glad that you checked us out and that we're a good fit for you. 😉

Freshmen year in high school you had a iPhone 5 ..bruh I thought you were like 35 lmao

Dave2D: Standing Tailosive Tech: Standing and not wearing pants.

Tailosive: 30mbps is ok, i used to get 150 mbps over lte *cries in the Uk*

It's insane how difficult it is to get my friends and family to try Mint. They're so glued to the idea of a store and 2 year contract. MINT MOBILE FOREVA

6 lines for $250... Meanwhile in Canada: 1 line for $120

Me: oh these are some solid points let me see if I could do this. Also me: *checks data usage* 102gb used this period....yup can’t do this LOL

Holy crap I just realized you’re only two years older than me, with a wife! Good for you lmao

US carriers charge an arm and a leg for basic functionality

I might switch to them as well my carrier is starting to charge more

Deadpool, get this man a sponsorship.

tbf Mint mobile is a great deal but I wish they would have an unlimited plan, tho.

I have Mint and totally agree. They are awesome. Decent coverage through T-Mobile And I pay only $180.00 per year and get 3gb Lte data a month.

I love getting your notifications regardless of what you’re talking about!

In algeria we have 20GB for 5$ OMG your plans are soo expensive

How widespread is the LTE covered? I am in Northern California and currently only Verizon has good LTE up here

i've actually been using Mint for 2 years now with the (at the time) 2GB plan but its now 3GB . No regrets

*Flashbacks to the Green Walls* It was a major leap forward for your channel to move into your first office. I began watching you from the old iPhone 7 no headphone jack video, and seeing your growth both as an individual and RU-vidr has been a fun and cool journey. Many of the most memorable videos come from the old days, from the MKBHD collab and some of your best rants. It is sad to hear that the old chapter of your channel has finally closed, though seeing the improvement through the years ensures me that many new memories and achievements lie ahead of you. Great job Drew, keep it up.

Been using Mint for about 2 years now and it has been incredible, I recommend it for anyone that lives in an area with good T-Mobile network coverage, because that’s what they operate on. I pay a year at a time for 3GB data per month and unlimited talk and text and it averages out to about $15 a month. Also the fox mascot is the cutest

Is your shirt a VGA port or an AirPower?

I’m moving to Miami from Panama this sunday and was researching for good carriers to activate a line during my studies. Suddently I saw mint and remembered that one of my fave tech youtubers had a video about it. Thanks my man, you convinced me with this 3y old video!

You’re an iPhone user how do use mint with the iPhone being that only iMessages go over WiFi and the regular mms uses data? I only ask cause I did this when I had the pixel on fi . I would turn off mobile data and keep it off because I was constantly on WiFi.

0:30 I was adopted 😱😱😱... into the family plan 🙄🤣🤣🤣

Cricket Wireless is a good carrier, and they use the AT&T network.

What network is Mint using for there service?

I’m in this same boat. My mom has been charging me $50 a month for att unlimited from a family plan for years. Mint has done a good job of branding and separating themselves from the other prepaid phone plans. Mint has appealed to young professionals and tech enthusiasts in a way that their competitors have never even attempted.

Do you have to change your phone number when you switch?

Really liked mint for the time that I had it, but t-mobile coverage wasn't great so I switched to redpocket and I've been generally happy with it if you want a carrier based on att.

I know you like mint but you talked about wishing they had unlimited you could at joining a Visible Party Plan it’s $25 per month for unlimited and it runs off the Verizon network

those are 3G speeds... i get that on my unlimited data plan that is cupped, here normal 4G(not 4G+) is over 46Mbps, 4G+ is over 112Mbps how slow are the speeds in the states?

AT&T charges ~40$/month for “smartphone service”, possibly for voicemail, does mint have such thing?

I really enjoy Fi I’ve used it on and off for a few years and just came back when they started their unlimited plan and I’ve never had this level of saturated coverage before very rarely do I encounter slow spots at least Google can do some things right

Been with Mint Mobile for about 6 months now and have been really happy. Paid for a year of Mint for the same price that I was paying for one month of AT&T.

Can you use a mint mobile sim card using a simple mobile phone?

So were can we get mint mobile? So tired of at&t

Good feedback. I recently did a Mint review video myself and enjoyed hearing your take

Did you lose your texts and/or voicemails? I have an android and want to make the switch very badly, but don't want to lose these in the process.

Got on mint mobile, i got new samsung a32 5g phone and 10Gb data for a month for $25 a month for 2 years. How good is this deal?

I highly recommend Visible Mobile, this one piggy backs off of Verizon. It’s unlimited talk and text and data as well, it doesn’t cap your internet at all. It has unlimited hotspot 5mgb. It doesn’t stream video at standard definition though but honestly? Not that big of a deal for me. 40 a month. You can join a party which is like a family plan but with random people lowering your payment to 25.

When you switch over do you lose your contacts, photos etc?

Do you guys in America have rollover-data?

Hey man, are you still using Mint? If so, how's it holding up? What area did you use this Network?

You tryna tell me you’re 21

Me here on my 1 GB a month plan with T-Mobile 😭

Thanks,Drew for coming over to the dark side of prepaid service. We have more fun here.

RU-vidr: Our data plan is expensive me: *Cries in Rogers*

did you have to go to verizon to get your phone unlocked?

We get Mint Mobile ads where I live but they don’t have their towers out here. :/ What towers do they use?

I just use Boost. 50$ and I never have to worry about data. I use a lot of data throughout the day when I’m out of wifi. So I just went with the unlimited plan. Sometimes I’ll find a dead spot but it’s rare where I normally go.

Do you cancel your verizon plan the day you put in the SIM card?

I've been giving them a try since they had that 40% off deal. Its actually a really good deal with good service. Just activate the sim, pop it in and it just works! My only gripe is that I am getting a bit of spam text messages from weird numbers.

Heard some good things about mint, I might switch eventually.

Switched to Mint last summer. Did the free trial, and then paid for a whole years coverage. Very happy with it, and it’s kinda nice not to have that $100/month Verizon bill.

What about service in Puerto Vallarta Mexico?

I use Consumer Collier for my 3 iPhones which totally is about $70 for all three phones, which is a good price and U still get the same data amount as Mint. I like how there are alternative carriers that have reasonable prices and allow me to use whatever phone I want to.

Does $45 for 3 months cover all taxes and surcharges? If not how much was the total?

are you ok with the eyes? (is it psoriasis)

Your LTE at your house is faster than my house’s internet

This video looks really good, like noticeably

Does mint have WiFi calling?

Hey Drew, looks like there's a magenta hue to the highlights and midtones in this video

I have Visible a Verizon MVNO I think it's better coming from Mint

As an MVNO mint doesn't get access to everything on the Tmobile network. The Calls and Texts are the same. But data is limited as they only will work on selected towers. I feel like if you are going to bring up the coverage understand you are getting what you pay for.

how are you doing now? I see that Mint has a unlimited plan now. Are you using it? Is it actually unlimited?

This video was super helpful I've been thinking about switching over since often i use 0 data per month... yep i know im one of those crazy people who only use ot to talk and text haha. Im solo and skways feel like most carriers scre us dingke people over when family plans cost almost the same amount as one line. This answered a lot of questions i had since it came from a fellow verison user who didn't use much data abd took their phone with them. Thanks alot. Im pretty sure ill be making the switch soon as long as i can bring my current phone and number

I use T-Mobile and live in a relatively small town. Good enough coverage and decent speeds. Not switching anytime!

In my country the way you described mint is like all our carriers, and switching is just as easy, but we do have unlimited plans but we can't add lines to plans

Me: checking my mobile data usage of only today My mobile: 15gb on today Me: oh it is only $6 for 10mbps unlimited in my country Me: ok I need to use moreeeee!!!

i had tmobile and my dad got mint, sometimes my phone could not call his because of no signal and they both supposedly use same towers so i suppose some access towers more efficiently and clearly

Wait why where you paying for Apple Music, you where on Verizon unlimited which you get it for free and now with Disney plus for a free year

Is this a US carrier?

I pay 25 bucks for unlimited, solid coverage and very fast, boost mobile

What about Visible wireless?

You should look into Visible. It is unlimited prepaid on Verizon’s network. Can be as low as $25 per month with 4 people in party pay. I just switched, and it’s pretty great.

You definitely missed out on the flip phone era. It was awesome.

in tunisia there are phone carriers and wofi carriers but most of the phone carriers do wifi plan but its just a hotspot device ill be talking sbout the phone carriers for phones not wifi to make phone calls or texts or to pay for data thers not a bill you buy a sort of a ticker or a card like a google play card (1dtfor phone costs 1.25dt abt $0.4 and 5dt is about 5.6dt abt $1.8) you dial up a number then ypu put the code on that card and boom you can call and pay for data and all (200mo costs 1dt for my carrier but prices slightly differ) . most of the carriers offer unlimited calling between certain numbers but idk a lot about them

Best deal is at cricket wireless, 4 unlimited messages and calls lines, 22gb data each, $100 a month, no contracts.

Drew, why do you always go to the DMV? doesn't everyone hate the DMV...

Your first phone was iPhone 5? How young are you? That explains a lot though.

Drew, why didn't you go for a Verizon MVNO. I'm with US Mobile and their super LTE plan is on Verizon's network. I pay 60 bucks a month for unlimited with no speed restrictions and no caps on hotspot usage as well as no throttling on video resolution. Forgot to mention their non unlimited plans are also good to.

Best move I’ve ever made with a phone service. ❤️Mint Mobile

I have Verizon and service is awesome, lol on family plan so it’s cheaper but I stick with the unlimited plan. Like you said it depends on the person and for me there’s no WiFi at home and even here at my university the WiFi tweaks I I use hotspot with iPad and LTE a lot

LIST of RU-vidrs who DON'T wear pants during filming: 1. Stevie T (SteveTerreberry) 2. Jon Prosser (Front Page Tech) and now 3. Drew/Apple Sheep (Tailosive Tech) @ 6:03 The list continues~!^^

I don't get it. If you're using iMessage and everyone has an iPhone, are you guys not texting much considering it uses data?

I hope you have a better experience w/ Mint mobile than I did. I live in DFW, and the service here was horrible. I have since switched to Visible and only pay $25 a month for an unlimited plan, and still on Verizon’s network.

I joined Mint in August 2019. It has been a huge financial relief. As a former Metro-PC customer, I save $300 a year based on my old billing model. As a father of two, that extra money comes in handy. As far as network performance is concerned, I personally have noticed no difference overall. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.

This man is only 21?!?! You're only 2 years older than me. I thought he was like 30

I have been using Mint for over 2 years and it's been amazing

Where as here in the Uk 🇬🇧 I get 45-60mbps downloads, paying £17 a month for 50GB of data 👍🏼 with EE of course (kept my iPhone XS Max from last year so just a sim plan)

Total Wireless and Visible Wireless are 2 MVNO providers powered by Verizon towers.

Verizon does offer prepaid tablets but hilariously enough if you look for the single line plan from postpaid service and choose the tablet as the device there is an option for a $15 1GB tablet plan which you have to manually select that is discounted to $10 with auto pay and iPads are frequently discounted by Verizon. The overages cost $10 per 1GB.

I recently switched to Verizon from Straight Talk and I really love it so far!

As a Mint mobile user for about 8 months I'm pretty happy about it. The coverage for the area I'm in is great and I like the updated app. I opted to use it for the(3 Gig) 3 month plan first to see how I would like it first and then I went for the (8 Gig) 6 month plan and then I just recently stepped it up to 12 months which gives the best savings. Now if you have internet at home I think 8 gigs is more than enough. I'm not always out and about a whole lot being on my phone unless I'm waiting for someone to drop off and I want to watch some RU-vid videos then it'll eat up some but you should still be good on data. But if you don't have internet then prepaid plans that don't have unlimited data isn't a good choice. Be nice if Mint does do a so called unlimited data plan which technically it isn't. But basically if your a home body a 3 gig plan you can get by as well. I had metro pcs and used 3 gig plan and only went over 3 gigs maybe twice.

I have TMobile and when they slow it down to 128kbps it is usually more like 2mbps, so since mint uses TMobile I think you are ok

Visible, Verizon network with unlimited unthrottled data. The roaming speeds are slow compared to my main Verizon phone. But my visible is my hotspot phone. I use over 150gb/month on my main line. And similar on the visible line but after 15gb on Verizon hotspot it’s unusable

If you like mint, you’ll love visible. $40/month unlimited everything, but with the party pay, you can pay just $25

I made the switch in august and I’m so happy I did.

Mint now has a unlimited plan

How was your Verizon bill that cheap? I have 2 lines and ours is pretty much $300/less than us for 6 lines? Dang.
