Want to lower your phone bill to $15 a month? Check out Mint Mobile

Ah, phone plans. We know you can’t live without ‘em, but maybe you could live without paying ridiculously high monthly fees? 

Despite what the carriers say, all network coverage is essentially the same in 2019. So, what are you really paying for? Hint: it isn’t the network — it’s the retail stores and overhead. Mint Mobile re-imagined the wireless shopping experience and made it easy and online-only, allowing them tocut out the overhead and pass on significant savings to you.

Wait, what’s Mint Mobile, you ask? Mint is a wireless service with wallet-friendly options that won’t cramp your swipe-happy lifestyle. When you sign up for a three-month plan, Mint Mobile hooks you up with a free SIM card and premium wireless service including 3GB 4G LTE data with unlimited calls and texts nationwide for just $15 a month.

Still need convincing to break up with your carrier and leap to Mint Mobile? These five themes behind Mint’s refreshing approach to wireless service make it a no-brainer:

1. Bulk shopping, but for your wireless service

In the most basic terms, Mint Mobile works in bulk. The same way you restock your apartment with giant packs of toilet paper and toothpaste, Mint Mobile embraces the bulk savings model for cell service by offering different plans, with economy-sized 3, 6, or 12-month servings. The more you buy, the more you save.  

2. Use your existing phone or buy one from Mint

Mint Mobile lets you keep your phone number, whether using your existing unlocked phone, or buying a new one through Mint. Right now, Mint is offering a sweet deal on the latest iPhone XR: snag an unlocked XR with 0% financing and get 3-months of wireless service for free. 

3. Personalize your plan

Did you know that the average American uses 5GB of data each month? Stop overpaying for data you don’t need. Mint’s 3-month intro offers start at $15 for 3GB 4G LTE with unlimited calls and texts nationwide. Their best-selling plan includes 8GB of 4G LTE data per month for $20 per month. All of Mint Mobile’s intro plans, which cap out at $25 per month, also have a risk-free, seven-day money back guarantee. 

4. Switching over is super easy

Mint Mobile is online only, a big perk for anyone who knows the monotony of waiting for help at a major retail store. Just head to MintMobile.com and choose a plan and Mint Mobile mails you a SIM card. You can also check out their step-by-step videos for setting up your phone and answering common questions. 

5. No sneaky data overage fees

Each plan comes with an allotment of super high-speed 4G LTE data per month — either 3GB, 8GB, or 12GB — but if that runs outs, you have the option to buy more data: get I GB of 4G data for $10, or $3GB for $20. Or you can just run on a slower speed until your month restarts. Either way, you’re still paying far less than the average monthly plan on a big carrier, with the same level of premium service.
