    $5 is pretty cheap but discounted to $1 on sale is even better. Good voice and data in areas with service, spotty on the fringes of coverage. Website for activation is hit or miss sometimes but tech support is fairly good.

    Just getting started with mint but so far I'm impressed with their cool no fuss no mas attitude and the trial which will reimburse sim fee.so they are not THE absolute lowest price for monthly wireless plans. But maybe overall for the bundles they offer you can't beat that price.

    There is absolutely a catch.

    So yes, they have very cheap prepaid service, amazing customer service, and a great activation process which is very simple and straightforward. But there is definitely a catch, regardless of what their marketing says. The catch is that Mint has the WORST coverage and data de-prioritization I have experienced on any carrier, even T-Mobiles own prepaid service and other T-Mobiles MVNOs. The map said that the entire area I'm in has both indoor & outdoor 4G LTE coverage, but that is not the case. Tried several different LTE phones I had laying around, from a Droid 4 to a Moto X 2014 to an iPhone SE to an iPhone 5 to a Moto G7 to an Alcatel GoFlip, all of which were confirmed to be compatible, and NONE had consistent coverage anywhere near me up until I entered the bigger-city area 45 minutes away from me. The map on the site claimed that I should've had coverage everywhere. Entered my exact address and everything and it claimed there was strong coverage but I never saw a single bar of signal and customer service told me to enable WiFi calling instead of addressing my complaint about their own map and representatives claiming that I should've had coverage even though I had to drive 20 miles north to get any signal. So I mean, year, if you live in the middle of a big city, never plan on leaving the greater parts of your metro area and never plan on traveling, it's great. Otherwise you're out of luck.

    Not Unlimited Phone Call Minutes

    NOT unlimited phone minutes. I have a teen on the phone with their friends all summer and they cut off the phone service because of excessive use of "unlimited" calling. They say it is for personal use only. I explained it is being used personally by a teen and they keep repeating only personal use. They will not tell me the limit to keep this from happening. After cutting him off they keep saying it is unlimited.
