    App would not update my email address. Called and support said they'd enter it. Entered it wrong so I couldn't verify then said they couldn't help me because they couldn't verify me. Stole 6 more months of contracts because I couldn't find the receipt because I don't remember what my total was or purchase date and they wouldn't help with that either.

    It was for my brother. He lives in Europe. All this did was a temporary Sim card that was for 1 week. We had to have the company send us a new Sim card. We had 2 new phone numbers within 1 week and about 3 hours on the phone to clear this all up. The sales representative at the store said it would work right out of the box. So no it was more of a pain than necessary.

    I was told this would work in Mexico. It didn't I had seven day trial and due to unforseen circumstances, I used it up in one day. i was required to buy 3 months. The goal to use on the cruise, was entirely wasted as it didn't work at all .

    I couldn't get it to work within the seven day period. So that was a waste of money. I'll try it one more time. I would suggest people get the "visible" solution which uses the Verizon network. and they actually have customer service

    I would not go with Mint Mobile if you value your sanity. Their service is atrocious, and not a good deal at any price. I have a 5G phone and roughly 20% of the time in my area, I have NO DATA SERVICE at all. About 5% of the time, I have NO PHONE SERVICE at all. The same holds true for wife and daughter. I am regularly downgraded to 2G (Edge) for hours on end, multiple times per day, despite living in a major metropolitan area, well within their supposed coverage map.

    best buy's service is great, it always has been in my experience however mint mobile is not. they use deceptive means targeted at 55+ age group. claiming they will get services for 15 a month, what they dont tell you is that you have to buy an entire year for that price. its deceptive and its targeting seniors. i recommend tello as there service is straight forward, cheap, and excellent tech service

    I use mint mobile in one of my phones, and am happy with it. But for some reason I wasn't able to set mint up in another phone using this particular card. I will try again, using another card.

    Frustrating trying to set up the system with the Sim card but the service isn’t that bad set up was too much to go through. That’s why I gave it a lower rating.
