For anyone who has tried switching over, what’s your experience with them been like? Were there any hidden upsides or downsides you weren’t expecting? What about coverage? It’s really hard to ignore them when they keep spamming ads to YouTube, my favorite podcasts, etc.

Pretty sure they just got bought out by T-Mobile, a company that has had multiple massive data breaches in the past year or so. It’s just cheap T-mobile 5g. I liked it when I had it, but wouldn’t go back.

For a moment there I thought Linux mint had released on mobile. Something Ubuntu failed to do 😅

I’ve been with Mint for years and I absolutely love it. $200/yr (taxes) and I have 5gb/month and great coverage.

I was with Mint in Tennessee for several years with no issues. I moved to the boonies where T-Mobile has no service, which is the only reason I’m not still with Mint.

Ive been using them for a few years. Some stuff to note: you have to pay in at least 3 month blocks. You cannot pay for a month at a time. The prices on the website are just for your first term. After that it is a little more expensive, but not too much. Coverage wise it’s t-mobile’s network, so its good in major cities, but spotty in rural areas.

Ive been mostly pleased with them. When the wife and I go on trips, sometimes my phone gets no service, but she’s on AT&T, so her phone usually works fine, and she’ll turn on hotspot so i can get my messages.
