5GB

Recibí el SIM pero no lo puede activar, contacte a MINT y me comentaron que el SIM está cancelado.

Great product,great company to deal with.Employees are well trained and knowledgeable. Easy set up.Would recommend this product all day long.

General Overview- Prior to using Mint mobile, I had been with AT&T for 10 years. I have been using MINT mobile for 6 months now, and I have no complaints. I purchased the 12gb/month at $25 per month. Mint sent me a nice letter with the sim card inside that can break down from a regular sim, microsim, or nanosim. Putting in the sim was as easy as taking a pin or paperclip, popping out the sim tray, and putting it in the phone. Of note, this $75 deal is for a 3 month package, and to maintain that rate, you must pay up front for a whole year. Honestly, it is so nice knowing I do not have to pay another phone bill until November this year. Data plans- At the time of this posting, Mint offers 3gb, 8gb, and 12gb plans with prices of $15, $20, and $25 per month respectively. When you buy in bulk, the more you save. Many people I have talked to about Mint mobile are skeptical because they do not offer an unlimited data option at this time. I do not think people realize how much data they actually use. Mint plans all have unlimited talk and text in the US and after reviewing my monthly usage, I realized that even the 12gb plan I have is too much and when I renew I will be going to the 8gb plan. Think about it, at home you are on wifi and at work you are on wifi. Unlimited data is a scam given by big phone companies to make you pay for more than what you need. Call quality- I do not see a difference in call quality compared to my prior carrier. I have only had one dropped call in 6 months of use. Data speeds appear to be adequate for daily use, obviously in high traffic areas such as concerts, data speeds and accessibility are negatively impacted. Referrals- You are able to refer others to mint mobile using your referral code. For example, my referral code is fbuyme/nBqV. When someone signs up using your link, both you and the person you referred get a $15 credit towards your next renewal bill. There was even a promotion once where if you refer 5 people you would get enough credit for 1-2 years of service depending on the plan you chose. I have referred friends and family to Mint and they also enjoy the service and especially the price! Promotions-Occasionally, there are deals where you can get 6 months free when you sign up or the service for a discounted rate, so if you are thinking of making the switch, wait for a promotion. From time to time, Mint opens an exclusive "underground" website, where users of mint can get exclusive clothing, gear, accessories, etc. Keep your own phone number -Moving my number from my prior carrier was seamless and extremely fast, when I input my number into the app my phone began working in minutes. I believe I had to call my prior phone company first because I was on the plan with another user, but after that its as simple as downloading the mint mobile app and inputting your phone number. Compatibility- I have used Mint only with iphones, and it works seamlessly. Mobile hot spot works. Visual voicemail works. Facetime quality is good. I do not have experience using mint on android devices, but there is a full compatibility checklist on Mint's website. Pretty much is a phone is unlocked, it should work. Mint works off the TMobile towers, so if your phone is Tmobile it should work too. A word of caution for Verizon and sprint phone owners (except for iphone). Verizon, Sprint, and US cellular phones use CDMA (a different signal) that does not require sim cards. An unlocked iPhone is compatible and uses a SIM card tray so there are no issues. I would imagine due to the lack of company exclusive phones like in the past, there should not be an issue as long as the phone is unlocked, but I would check the phone compatibility prior to making the switch. International- when on Wifi, you can make calls and send texts as normal via wifi calling, regardless if you use an iphone or android. International calls start at $0.06 per minute, and you load credit onto your account to maintain service out of the US. TLDR; Too Long, Didn't Read- Mint is a great phone company. If it makes a difference to you, Ryan Reynolds is now technically the owner and also uses Mint mobile.. that's how much trust he has in the company. Check your phone compatibility and input your zip into Mints website to ensure the best results. Use in the Chicagoland area has been great in my experience. I highly recommend Mint to everyone and will not switch to one of the big 4 until I live in a place where Mint doesn't work.

You have to activate it immediately (I wasn't aware when purchasing). Bought it for an upcoming trip and it wouldn't activate when I needed it. Rip off. Didn't get a replacement either. No other sim card company is this unreasonable.

(UPDATE: I liked this 3 months SIM so much that I purchased a 6 month SIM direct from Mint. I didn't need to use it right away so I just stuck it in a drawer. A month later I got an email from Mint warning me that if I didn't activate the SIM within 45 days from purchase, it would be permanently deactivated! There was nothing on their website mentioning this. I contacted their support and was told that this policy comes from T-Mobile (Mint uses their network) and actually the SIM might still activate after 45 days. But if it didn’t, I could contact Mint support and they would get it working - though it could take 5-7 business days. This definitely is something that they should make clear in their product info. I’m also not sure about blaming it on T-Mobile since I know that US Mobile - which also uses the T-Mo network - has SIM cards that last 2 years before needing to be activated. The rest of this review is about the 3 month card I purchased from Amazon, before I got the 6 month card.) Overall I’m really happy with Mint so far. It was easy to set up, the service works well, and support is good too. Activating the card was seamless, the info provided with the SIM and on their website was really well organized and clear and the process was easy. You can choose to add a credit card for auto-renew when the 3 months are up, but I skipped that. About the minor negative I noticed during activation is that I didn’t get to choose my new number from a list; instead they just assigned me one. Once activation was finished the website clearly told me how to update my phone’s data settings (though I found that on my phone, the first few steps were a bit different though it wasn’t hard to figure out). Mint uses T-Mobile’s network so signal strength and call quality and data speed are all fine on my Moto E4 phone. Voicemail and international texting is included (I tried both). International calling is available too, but only if you first add credit to your account - however even though I never added any credit, I could still make International calls (at least short ones - I haven’t tried more than that). Voice and texts are unlimited and so is data, though after you’ve used 2GB data, it’s supposed to slow down (a lot) until the start of the next monthly cycle. But as with the international calling glitch, I found that even once I had used up my 2GB (which I confirmed by checking my account on their website), my LTE data speed was not noticeably any slower than before. Since I was concerned that allowing me to make International calls without me paying in advance could come back to bite me later, I contacted their support via email. I got a reply within a few hours assuring me that they would investigate and I wouldn’t be charged. Similarly when I noticed that data wasn’t slowing down after 2GB was used up, I sent another email, the equally quick reply told me they would look into that too. Since neither of these are really problems (who doesn’t want free int’l calling or free unlimited high speed data?), it doesn’t bother me that both issues seem to still be happening a week later - but it is a bit concerning that if they give away stuff they’re supposed to be charging for, that might not bode well for their long term business success! P.S. If you get this card for a friend/family member and activate it for them, the good news is that although during activation you need to provide an email and a name and password, later on the only info needed to log in is the phone number and password (and once logged in you can change any of that other info including the password). Also P.S. The number I got must have been recycled. Every few days I get a robocall from the same company asking me to call back about an overdue payment.
