Consumers keep getting hit with higher prices and fewer perks, but Mint Mobile is taking the opposite approach. The carrier is boosting data across its plan lineup without raising prices, and they still include essentials like unlimited talk and text, free mobile hotspot, and coverage on the nation’s largest 5G network.
Recently, the budget-friendly carrier launched its MINThematics ad campaign featuring Ryan Reynolds as the company takes on Big Wireless. Mint says it’s giving customers more of what they actually use without adding extra fees or forcing them into a bigger bill. The company has increased the data amounts on all of its plans three times before while keeping prices the same, and this latest round keeps that streak going.
What to Know About Mint Mobile’s New Data Plans
Here’s what Mint is offering now on its 3-month plans for new customers:
- 6GB for $15/month ($45 upfront payment required)
- 17GB for $20/month ($60 upfront payment required)
- 23GB for $25/month ($75 upfront payment required)
- Unlimited for $30/month ($90 upfront payment required)
Mint’s Unlimited plan also includes up to 20GB of hotspot data, which is a nice bonus for anyone who regularly turns a phone into a backup connection for a laptop, tablet, or streaming device on the go. Customers can also choose from 3-, 6-, and 12-month plan lengths, depending on how much flexibility they want. Plus, if you’re tired of your traditional internet provider, bundle 12 months of a Mint Unlimited plan with MINTernet, Mint’s 5G Home Internet, and save $300 for a limited time.
Since its 2016 launch, Mint Mobile has offered customers a simpler, more affordable alternative to the usual wireless “games.” Over a decade later, the company is keeping the pricing straightforward with service backed by T-Mobile’s fastest network. Many providers now advertise similar coverage, 5G access, and unlimited plans, making price and overall value some of the biggest differentiators. Instead of complicated add-ons and premium extras, Mint has focused on improving its prepaid plans instead of making them more expensive.
