Mint Mobile

I was really apprehensive about switching from AT&T. I had been a customer with AT&T when they first started as Cingular Wireless in 2002. My bill kept increasing. I had 4GB a month and I was paying around $45 each month. This past February when my cycle started over I got a text message 2 days into my new cycle saying that I was about to reach my limit. Which was ridiculous because I had been at home using my wifi when my cycle started. So there was no way this was possible. I called them and the supervisor really didn’t have an explanation. He credited my account $20 so that when I reached my data limit that credit would be used to add more data to my plan. From then on I would check my data usage every morning. Because I constantly worried that it would happen again. Which it did again in May. My husband had been a Mint customer for a year and had no issues. So I decided to take the leap in June. I did have a couple of mishaps at first. I switched on a Sunday and was told the wrong information that my phone would be working in a few hours. Which it wasn’t. Called in and was told that the department that handles the switching over was closed on Sunday. So I was without a working phone for about 12 hours. Once that got handled on Monday I haven’t had any problems at all. So in general I am happy that I switched carriers.

This is totally random but a few months ago (4 months I think) I switched phone companies. I went from Boost mobile to Mint mobile. Anyways. I tried the plan that was like 30 gigs a month of data, and was shocked when it said I had only used less than 5 gigs in a whole month. However. I am extra cautious with using the data on my phone and always try to connect to wifi when I’m playing games or watching videos. You know, the stuff that uses lots of data. So with mint, you pay for 3 months. And each month I hardly used 5 gigs of data. So the next round I decided to try the unlimited data plan and I wanted to do all the normal things I’d do on my phone using data. Because I found it weird that with the last company I was with I would ALWAYS go over on my data even when I’d be extremely cautious about my usage. It didn’t seem right that I was doing all the same stuff as I did with my last phone company, and yet now I’m hardly using any of my data?… anyways. I can confirm even with using data- updating my phone, and updating games etc. I *still* haven’t gone over 10 gigs. So that leads me to believe boost was somehow causing my phone to use more data. Maybe with something running in the background. Because you can always buy more data if you go over. So freaking scammy. I’m glad I switched.

When I told my sister about mint Mobile, she said it was too good to be true and I told her it’s true because I’m a witness! I was draining in over payment with Verizon. Had been with them for 4 years and when I calculated my total expenses, I froze! I was not even on a contrast Phone but it felt worst than having a bad credit and paying high interest rate on a loan. Crazy thing is; they unapologetically keep going up on my phone bill. I started shopping for new services and I read about Mint. Thought to try it. I tried Mint Mobile with my second phone for 8 months. I mean, a network that is 100% better than Verizon. I woke up one day without further concerns and transferred my second line to Mint. I followed the instructions that came with my new SIM. I did my swapping through the Mint app as advised. It was very straight forward and in less than 2 mins, it was completed. Now I’m fully Minted! I’m free from Verizon prison. I like the unlimited plan with Mint and that I can pay 3,6, even 12 months and go to sleep. I have cut down on my phone Bill by 60%. The best part is… Mint mobile network is super-fast and reliable. Though they don’t have add-ons or combos services i.e Tv services, Apple Music etc. But I’ll stick to Mint all the way than allow Verizon drain me to an untimely death. Thank you for being a Life saver, Mint! N/B: If you’re reading my review and you live in GA, search no more and take it from someone who don’t write reviews… This network service is absolutely great, you won’t regret using Mint.
