It’s a really long con, then.

Get Visible, $25/month, unlimited data.
Mint is a scam run by a con-artist actor. Do not fall for it.

Yeah I never understood the obsession with mint. Unlimited data is important to me and I never want to feel like I ran out for the month.
Mint is not as good of a deal as Visible or US Mobile. There are reasons to choose either. If you travel internationally you might go with US Mobile since they give 20GB/month for free whereas Visible charges $10/day, which can quickly run up a bill.

Some people are pretty much always on Wi-Fi and never stream anything on a phone. I struggle to use 500MB/month of cellular data, so the $15/month plan is overkill by far.
I’m not “obsessed” with Mint; it’s just been reliable service for a decade for the same price (data went from 2GB to 6GB in that time). The cheapest broadband around here is $100/month, so this would be less than half the price and includes phone service. With inflation being how it is, I figured I’d point out something that could save people money.

How do you use so little data? Dont you leave your house?

I got curious and checked my own usage. Averages around 700MB or so for the past few months. It spiked one month because I was using my phone as a hotspot for a work call.
Unsurprisingly, Google Play services uses the vast majority of my data. Fucking Google. I have unlimited, so it’s whatever, but still.

My music collection is on my phone. If I’m not on Wi-Fi, I’m generally listening to music, so no data needed. Basically, it’s just notifications while I’m out and about. I certainly don’t care to watch videos on my phone! I can send that tab to my computer and watch when I get home.
