Is it cause of coverage, download speeds, was it cheap, did you trust them more, do they have some bonus on top of phone data, or was it just what your family had and you got it too?

    Mint because it works well and is super cheap. We pre pay for 5GB/mo for a year and only once have gotten close to using it all. We are just always near Wi-Fi anyways. Their international plans were reasonable as well when we were in Europe for a week last summer.

      I thought about mint, but living in a smallish town of this god awful state of Texas, good internet is rarely available and I would easily use up that 5gb

        I’d still suggest checking them out, they offer larger plans as well that are still great value ($15 for 5GB, $20 for 15GB, $25 for 20GB, and $30 for unlimited which is 40GB of full speed, $40 gets you 60GB of full speed data; all those are per month when pre paying for a year).

          I second this. I was previously an AT&T user and have found Mint to have better coverage especially in the boonies. I wouldn’t go back. I’m on $30/mo unlimited yearly. It’s just not worth what the bigger companies are charging at all.

          Oh and Mint offers a free 7-day trial that includes an eSIM so you don’t have to wait for something to come in the mail. I did the eSIM on a second line for the trial and literally never went back to AT&T’s line. I just called them up and cancelled.
