Mint Mobile

Mint Mobile is a prepaid wireless provider known for offering some of the lowest prices in the industry by selling phone plans in multi-month bundles. Instead of paying month-to-month, you prepay for 3, 6, or 12 months of service at a time, unlocking even deeper discounts with longer commitments. All plans include unlimited talk and text, and all data plans support hotspot usage.

Mint Mobile’s plans are designed around different monthly high-speed data amounts, all with unlimited talk and text, mobile hotspot, and nationwide coverage. Plans are available in 3, 6, or 12-month terms. The longer you commit, the lower your effective monthly rate. Here’s what each plan includes and who it’s best for:
