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.

I use US Mobile, who resell T-Mobile and Verizon services. My family use very little data, so we only prepay for 1GB/mo. Four lines are $40 a month total.

I’m also on US Mobile, they’ve been great so far. Easy to get support and they’re prices are the best I’ve found.

Thirding US Mobile. I pay so little each month and the one issue I had, they fixed it, refunded me, and have me a 6 month discount. Top notch experience so far.

Third rec here for US Mobile. I actually switched from Mint after a couple of years with them (and Google Fi before that). Three of my family members are on the Verizon network through US Mobile, and one is on the T-Mobile network. Nice to have the split when we’re traveling because one of the two networks always has coverage.

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.

I switched over a few months ago. It works great! Not having to worry about the bill is very nice.

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.

Same experience as others, it was the cheapest option for me at the time for data after several other carriers folded. I live in an urban area and have had no issues. Currently dreading what bullshit T-Mobile will inevitably pull
