I’ve been with Mint for over a decade at this point, and I had a T-Mobile 5G gateway in the van, so I’m posting as someone who’s used both services.
Were I still in the van, I’d jump on this, as I’m on the $15/month Mint plan, and T-Mobile 5G internet was $50/month. The former is the lowest tier (6GB), and the latter was lucky to hit 200Mbps but never went out in a storm.
Good prices on prepaid mean a chunk of change all at once, but it’s so nice not to have a monthly phone bill.
Anyway, not an ad, just figured this could save someone some money.

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.

It’s a really long con, then.
