Mint Mobile started 2026 with a deal that's hard to ignore: unlimited 5G data for $15/month, locked in for a full year when you pay upfront. That's $180 total — roughly what most people pay in two months on Verizon or AT&T.
What you get at $15/month: Unlimited talk, text, and data on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network. Hotspot included (at reduced speeds). 5GB of high-speed international data. No contracts — after your year is up, you can renew or switch. Bring your own unlocked phone, or buy one from Mint directly.
The fine print: The $15/month rate is a promotional first-year price, paid as a lump $180 upfront. After year one, the standard unlimited rate applies (currently $30/month). Hotspot speeds are throttled after your high-speed allotment, and during peak network congestion Mint subscribers may be deprioritized below T-Mobile's direct customers.
Who it's best for: Anyone currently paying $50–$80/month on a major carrier who has a compatible unlocked phone and lives in an area with solid T-Mobile coverage. The savings are immediate and significant — up to $720 in year one alone compared to a standard Verizon unlimited line.
Who should look elsewhere: If you need premium prioritization, multi-line family discounts, or frequent international travel perks, compare Mint against US Mobile or Visible before deciding.
