I tested my Mint Mobile SIM card in two phones starting with an unlocked ASUS Zenfone 8 before moving on to the Galaxy S20+. T-Mobile has been investing heavily in its network with a focus on 5G so if you’ve been unimpressed by the network in the past few years, it may be worth another look. T-Mobile isn’t especially fast in my area but I did have 5G coverage including T-Mobile’s fast band n41 most of the time. In my testing, I used T-Mobile 4G LTE and 5G in Northern Florida.

If you want to get Mint's best rates for your family but can't pay for multiple 12-month plans at once, Mint Family can help.įor this review, I tested Mint Mobile's unlimited plan on an ASUS Zenfone 8 and a Samsung Galaxy S20+ in an area with consistent 5G coverage, including mid-band band n41 coverage. With Mint Family, you only need to pay for three months at a time, but you still get the lowest 12-month rate. If you want to bring your whole family to Mint Mobile, you can use Mint Family to make your upfront payment more palatable. If you regularly use less than 15GB per month, you don't need Mint's unlimited plan, and you might not even need the 10GB plan.

You can check your last phone bill to see how much data you used or check the data usage in the settings of your Android phone.

We've become accustomed to purchasing unlimited plans by default, but most of us simply don't need that much data, especially if we have frequent access to Wi-Fi. The most significant savings with Mint come from buying six or 12 months, but you may also be able to save by switching to a smaller plan.
