I've been with Mint for over a year now. The service has been solid everywhere I go except for one small part of i45 in Louisiana for me. I won't proactively leave but if Tmo messes things up I'll at least look at options.
They already have Metro for this. I think they just thought Mint's bulk pre-pay was a good enough play to have as an option of their own. Not to mention Ryan's marketing for Mint is killer. I would expect the brand is much more well known amongst younger more price conscious folks than Metro is.
I've been on USMobile for over a year now. I switched from Verizon. My intent was to use the T-mobile sim, but it just didn't work out well. They told me I should really use the Verizon one for my area, so that's what I'm using. There is some definite de-prioritization going on. It's fine at home, but data speeds just are not there at work if I run a speed test. Of course, I don't have a 5G capable phone and now that 3G was taken offline and 5G has been prioritized, that may have something to do with it. I'm on Android and my wife has an iPhone SE (also not 5G). There are places were I get signal and she doesn't. The speeds aren't a problem for me as I can still pretty much do everything on my phone without waiting. Speed tests don't always tell the true story. What I do like is having 3 phones with unlimited everything and two of them with hotspot enabled for around $75/month. Hotspot use is limited to 10 GB per month I believe. However, I'm now on a grandfathered pricing package. I've never had a problem getting texts.
Mint ran on tmobile networks. so they were getting some of her money anyways.
If anything, that gives a stronger reason to support them. Besides, the other majors and their sub-brands also require vaccinations for at least some employees. If you're going to reject science and basic human compassion to the point where you'll boycott cellphone networks, you're going to wind up a disconnected hermit.
Even more reason to leave.
Not many to choose from sadly, even the linked above USmobile utilizes verizon and tmobile networks.
I was going to recommend this one. They've been great. Have been using them for over a year. Fast. Cheap. $20mo/15GB 5G. On Verizon's backbone, if you go with the black SIM.
Hah, that will probably happen to USmobile, too.
prob easier to spy on them especially if there are warrants outside of where Mint operates which is i believe would be california. i'm sure by now it's common knowledge NSA has contracts w/ all the major players in the game. guess mint has gotten to big for it's own good?
For me, it was F*ck Veriz-o-Non.... I get a way better/cheaper deal with Fi, plus no contracts, no price changes every time I blink, no shitty service, no petty pushy sales assholes insisting that I buy whatever phone THEY are getting kickbacks on any given day, yada yada yada......
I want to reply to you but not derail this thread.
Didn't know that. Thanks!
