Choosing The Best Wireless Plan For You with Mintmobile

So you've decided to switch wireless carriers. Maybe you've decided to get off that family plan, or you've finally realized that you've been paying for wireless forever. Congratulations

With so many different plans to choose from, it's important to do your research. Don't get caught up in all the 'unlimited'* options and new phone deals. Look for the plan that best suits your needs so you don't pay extra for what you don't use!

The most important things to consider when choosing a wireless plan are phone compatibility, price, coverage and network speed. We've put together a cheat sheet to make sure you make the right choice when switching.

How much does it cost per month?

Probably the most important factor to consider when choosing a wireless plan is the amount you will be paying each month. Once you know how much data you need, shop around with different carriers as prices vary widely and you can save a lot of money by doing a little research. Check for any additional charges such as activation fees, monthly fees and taxes, plus the one that catches most people out – overages!

Check if your future plan will charge you if you exceed your data limit. When you reach your monthly 4G LTE data limit on Mint, we'll let you know and you can either upgrade your plan or buy more data. We'll slow down your data, but you won't get hit with any extra surprises - the beauty of bulk savings, baby!

You can check phone compatibility, coverage and network speeds and you can't beat the price. Plus, make sure you take advantage of our 7-day money-back guarantee on all our plans. That way, if it doesn't work for you, yours is a full refund (excluding taxes and shipping).

Are you ready to choose a new tariff?

Most people think that paying for wireless is an expensive but necessary evil. That's why we're setting the record straight to let you know that it doesn't have to be that way!

If you've been spending arm and tail on your wireless plan and are ready to be enlightened, here are 5 reasons why you should ditch your carrier and switch to Mint.

1. You are paying too much

Prepare to be blown away. Right now we're offering 3 months of 5GB 4G LTE/month for just $20*. Beats your expensive unlimited* plan, right?

While we don't offer crazy holiday deals, our lowest plan starts at $15/month for 3GB of 4G LTE data. Plus, we never charge overage fees, so you know exactly what you're getting each month. Plus, the more you buy, the more you save! We have 3, 6 or 12 month plans available - so you can go on holiday from your phone bill.

Mint Hack: Get 12 months at the best price! We'll also keep you updated on how you're doing with your data, so there's never any nasty surprises. Only the good ones – like how much you save per month!

2. You're spending money on unlimited 4G LTE

Most people pay through the nose for unlimited 4G LTE data that they never use! Real story: the average person only uses about 5 GB per month. Mint Mobile plans come in handy little data buckets of 3GB, 8GB and 12GB, so there's something for everyone. If you decide you need more or less data, it's very easy to change plans and get exactly what you want and need.

And if you run out of 4G LTE, you still get unlimited data, just at a slightly slower speed, so your phone is still up and running.

Why spend for unlimited when you can pay for just what you need? Here's help finding a plan that's right for you.

3. You can have premium coverage without the premium price tag

Just because we're affordable doesn't mean our network doesn't rule! Mint Mobile plans come with premium nationwide coverage on the country's fastest 4G LTE network. But for those nervous nerds out there, you can check your coverage here!

With Mint Mobile, bringing your own phone and number is a breeze. Mint works with any unlocked GSM phone, but if you're not sure what the story is with the thing in your pocket, check here to make sure your phone is compatible. Ready to upgrade your phone?
