Mint Mobile phone deals

Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold: was $1799 now $1,499, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
Another one of Mint's superb deals on Google Pixel phones, this time on the really, really high-end Pixel 9 Pro Fold. This particular foldable isn't for everyone with it's massive tablet-like display and high price tag but today's deal at Mint Mint will get you a nice $300 discount. You'll also be able to score a full year of unlimited data for just $15 per month, for an additional $180 saving.

Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $399, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
This isn't a new promotion but Mint Mobile's current deal on the Google Pixel 9 is easily my favorite prepaid option for Black Friday. Right now, the carrier is giving new customers a massive $400 price cut on this awesome flagship device as well as one full year of unlimited data for just $15/mo. That's the cheapest possible price you can get for the unlimited plan at Mint Mobile so I highly recommend checking this one out if you're looking for a cost-effective plan + phone combo.

Phones at Mint Mobile: get a full year of unlimited data for $15/mo when you buy a phone at Mint Mobile
The ever-popular prepaid carrier Mint Mobile has just listed one of the best deals we've seen yet. For a limited time only, new customers who buy a device at Mint Mobile will receive a full year of the carrier's unlimited data plan for just $15/mo instead of the usual $30/mo. This deal includes the excellent new Google Pixel 9 and Google Pixel 9 XL Pro, which are both available with an additional $400 upfront discount.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6: was $1,199, now $1,099, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
Another superb phone deal at Mint Mobile, and one that's on a really new model, is this $100 discount on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. This powerful foldable device features a superb clamshell design with a seamless display, powerful chipset, and good cameras. As with most devices at Mint Mobile, this one also comes with a full year of unlimited data for just $15, which equates t half price versus the usual yearly rate.

Samsung Galaxy A15: was $170 now $60, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
If you're really on a budget - and we mean really on a budget - then a great option for you could be this Mint Mobile deal on the Samsung Galaxy A15. We haven't personally reviewed this model here at TechRadar but it seems to be a solid option since you can bag it for just $60 right now at the carrier and still be eligible for a one-year unlimited data plan at half price. That's an absolute bargain - although temper your expectations unless you're simply planning on using your phone for the bare essentials.

Mint Mobile plan deals

Mint Mobile: bundle and save with a 12-month plan
As always, the best way to save cash on a Mint Mobile deal as an existing customer is to commit to a longer plan. By going for a 12-month plan, for example, you're looking at at least a $10-a-month saving on the cheapest 5GB data plan versus the standard three-month period. Those savings get even better across the higher data plans too and all Mint Mobile plans are currently available at a cut-down introductory price for your first three months, just like the unlimited data plan above.

Mint Mobile 55+ plan: exclusive seniors plan for $15 per month
Here's another promotion that's relatively well-hidden on the Mint Mobile site - so much so that you might miss it unless you read the fine print. Seniors can immediately get access to the Mint 55+ plan, which entitles them to special customer service options and the lowest rate possible for the 5GB monthly plan. Unlike most users, Seniors don't have to pay for their plan on a multi-month basis upfront, instead opting for a simply pay-monthly rate of just $15 per month (no contract needed).

Mint Mobile deals: Frequently asked questions

Does Mint Mobile have a free trial?

Yes! In fact, the Mint Mobile free trial is a brand new addition to the site and a great way to check out this prepaid carrier without incurring any additional cost. Simply visit the free trial page here, check if your phone is compatible, and sign up using your email.

After signing up you'll receive two SIM cards from Mint Mobile that will allow you to trial the service for 7-days with 250 MB of data, 250 minutes, and 250 free texts. To start your trial, simply input SIM 1 and activate the service via the Mint Mobile app. After your 7-days are up you can choose to either continue on SIM 1 with a new number or insert SIM 2 to port over your old number from another carrier. Note, you'll need to sign up with a credit card but you won't be charged unless you decide to carry on your subscription after your trial is up.

How can I check coverage in my area?

You can very easily check whether you'll be covered with Mint Mobile's coverage checker over at its site. All you need to do is enter your zip code and Mint Mobile will check to see what your 5G and 4G coverage is like. Mint Mobile operates under the T-Mobile network, so coverage is generally pretty good across the board - especially in the big cities, which are the first areas to receive 5G coverage typically. Outside of the big cities, you may find you're restricted to 4G only right now, but you'll most likely find that's the case with most providers currently.

If you're on a budget and looking for a no-nonsense and great value cell phone plan then we definitely have no hesitation in recommending Mint Mobile. Even though you have to pay upfront for your plan, Mint Mobile deals offer pretty unbeatable value when it comes to monthly data allowances. Being prepaid too makes it fairly easy to try out since you won't be tied into a lengthy contract.

That said, there are plenty of other great cheap prepaid plans on the market currently so there's no harm in shopping about at rival carriers before you jump on board. A really good alternative to Mint, especially for those who want an unlimited plan, is Visible. Coming in at just $25 a month with the basic plan tier and with options for a more premium plan, this Verizon sub-carrier is a great choice. See this his week's best Visible deals for more. Another great option is Boost Mobile, which has an unlimited prepaid plan for $25 a month currently. Boost has also launched a new service called Boost Infinite recently, which offers an all-inclusive unlimited plan and an iPhone 15 Pro for just $60 per month, which is fantastic value.

We've included a couple more of our favorite plans just below for comparison's sake, and we'd also recommend checking out our best cell phone plans and best cheap cell phone plans roundups - which aim to provide a nice overview of the market as a whole if you should be interested.
