Only if you got a new number (or ported yours out and back in) every three months. This is for new customers only. They don't stack, and they'd probably expire before you could even get through more than a couple of them.

they dont enforce that when buying from 3rd party. Only when purchasing directly from mint can they enforce that since mint doesnt have access to the sellers systems to know the delivery date.

Yep. The "regular" plans (5/15/20GB) allow full use as hotspot. Just remember, Unlimited is Limited. The Unlimited plan is just a 40GB plan with a 10GB hotspot limit.

Even without the hotspot limitation the plan name is misleading.

I like mint and used to get Mint but Infimobile 10GB/month plan for $99 a year is a lot cheaper and speed is pretty good (I don't use the phone part so I can't tell you about the reception for phone use)


Mint ends up being like $15 / month after first 3 months. $15 * 9 + 22.50 = $157 but lower data plan at 5GB. I think it's cheaper if you commit longer?
mint is not good, every time i wanna keep using their service after like "3 months deal", their after trial monthly fee is amazingly, tax and fees r super over charged

They are only good for these 3 month new sim deals. You need to port your real number to google voice, then forward your calls to the fake number you get when you activate this sim card. Rinse wnd repeat and take advantage of these new customer sim deals indefinitely.

If you move your lifelong phone # to google voice and get this service from mint, you can forward you GV calls to here, but if you want to call and display your lifelong # on their caller id, you'd have to load and use the GV app right? It's a little hassle, is there another way?
Just use the Google voice app to call? That way it will show your phone number instead of the Mint number?

You can use your regular dialer which will use the cell minutes or you can use the voice app dialer which will use your data. I use the regular dialer on my Samsung S22 and use the voice app for txt and voicemail. Just set the voice app to always display your google voice number on outgoing calls. It will show your voice number using the regular dialer as well

Regular dialer works on Android but iPhones have different settings and you have to use the GV app to call using GV number. Really wish app worked the same on both.

Just dial your google voice number then dial the person's number -- that will display the gv number.
There's another (quicker) way but it's long too explain and most people can't do it.

I am looking to port out from Vonage to mint mobile and eventually to GV. Did anyone do this? if so, how are you managing international calling other than using whatsapp.

No because this is for best buy and that amex offer requires the purchase be from mint mobile.

Buy 2 of the 3 month unlimited for $45 each...then sell one to a friend or via craigslist etc....(Mint Mobile ones MUST be activated within 45 days from purchase) In most cases Mint WILL refund your money if you find you are not going to be able to activate one....if they sent it as a check it would not conflict with the amex offer.

I just got this information by referring other thread. We can purchase this from best buy and activate number. Once the account is setup on mint, we can add $90 to wallet as existing mint customer using amex card and that qualifies for the $45 offer. Now if you have another card with this offer (I do as my spouse has a separate card as amex authorized user), you can add another $90 separately to the wallet and you get $45 back for that. So in total your wallet will have $180 and you get $45+$45 back. You can recharge the 5gb plan for a year using wallet balance once your initial 3 months are up.

Sure but the recharge is NEVER as good as the 3 month promo's.
