Mint Mobile Unlimited Plan Review!

this is my review of mint mobile's 30 unlimited plan it's one of the best value plans out there but to achieve this price point mint had to make some compromises so in this review i'm sharing what my experience has been like using mint mobile for the past three months why i think they're a great option for a lot of people but why they're not for everyone hi i'm stetson and i review cell phone plans my goal is to help you find an affordable plan that meets your needs so you can reduce your cell phone bill i also designed and built bestphoneplans.net to help make it easy to find and compare plans with that said let's jump into it let's start with how this plan is similar to all of mint's plans it uses the same network for coverage which is the t-mobile network and it supports the same premium features you've come to expect wi-fi calling voice over lte the mobile hotspot and even 5g access on t-mobile's 5g network international calling to canada and mexico are also now included for free with all of mint mobile plans and you can make calls to over 160 countries at affordable rates which you can find on mint mobile's website international data roaming is also available via add-ons if you'd like to get coverage when you travel abroad and the newest feature mint mobile is rolling out is esim eason lets you scan a qr code to activate the embedded sim card in your phone this is a slow rollout and currently only works with compatible iphones but it should be coming to more devices soon either way there are two key differences between the features on mint mobile's unlimited plan and the other plans the first difference is in hotspot data on mint mobile's other plans you could use all of your available high speed data as hotspot data on mint mobile's unlimited plan you can only use up to 5 gigs of data as hotspot data so this means that mint mobile's 12 gig plan for 25 bucks a month actually includes more hotspot data here as you can use up to all 12 gigabytes and the second difference is in video streaming quality mint's previous plans had no limitations whatsoever on video streaming speeds so you could stream up to full 4k video if you wanted to with mint mobile's unlimited plan video streaming is capped to 480p this means video content is limited to 2 megabits per second thankfully there is an easy way around this in fact there's an easy way to stream hd video on all plans even the ones that don't support it and that is by using a vpn vpns work by hiding what kind of content you are consuming your carrier can't tell the difference between video content browsing websites or browsing social media by using a vpn you get full uncapped video streaming speeds and you can enjoy your shows in up to 4k quality if you're interested in getting a vpn consider my affiliate partner expressvpn they're one of the top-rated vpns for streaming netflix content and they have a 30-day money-back guarantee no questions asked plus they're offering my audience three months free when you sign up for the 12 month plan at expressvpn.com stetson so consider expressvpn if you'd like to enjoy your shows in hd quality and i appreciate your support there is one more thing we need to talk about here and it's that mint mobile's unlimited plan actually isn't unlimited that's right this plan includes 35 gigs of high speed data before unlimited data at 2g speeds or 128 kilobits per second the thing is for most people this is totally fine cisco's 2020 annual internet report shows that only four percent of consumers used over 50 gigs of data per month and reach mobile did a survey where they found 85 of the 400 people they surveyed used less than 10 gigs of data per month other articles have also stated average consumers use between four to six gigs of cellular data per month and there was even a report on statista projecting the average usage to be about 8.9 gigabytes in 2021 so the point is this by including 35 gigs of high-speed data mint mobile can effectively meet the needs of something like 85 to 95 of consumers while having the plan feel like an unlimited plan and not only that it's one of the best deals out there mid mobile's plan comes in at under half the price of t-mobile magenta and it can save single line users upwards of 480 dollars per year and the cherry on top is at the end of your three months with mint mobile's unlimited plan they will email you with your average usage and if it turns out you're using less than you think mid mobile will actually recommend you switch to a more affordable plan in my case they recommended i switch to the three gig plan and save a cool 300 extra per year that's what i'm talking about i'm all about helping people save money on their cell phone bill so i absolutely love what main mobile is doing and the final difference between mint mobile's unlimited plan and their other plans is the application the features and functionality of the application remain the same however on mint's eight gig plan which is my personal line right here you can see it shows how much high speed data i have remaining whereas on the unlimited plan it says unlimited and then it will show you how much high speed data you've used so a slightly different approach to the dashboard of the application either way not only have i been using mint mobile for the past three months testing out their unlimited plan but i've actually been using them for the past two years as my personal provider and i have to say i really do feel mint mobile is doing things right they've made great improvements their mobile application which i actually have a full video on if you'd like to check that out they've rolled out mint family so you can manage up to five lines under one account they're rolling out esim support and they're recommending even cheaper plans to their customers so you can save even more money i love to see that i think that's awesome their unlimited plan starter kit comes pre-loaded with 3 months of service for 90 and at the end of 3 months you have the option to renew the plan for either 3 6 or 12 months with the 12 month option of course giving you the best value or if mint mobile emails you and lets you know one of their more affordable plans meet your needs you could also opt for their 15.3 gig plan their twenty dollar eight gig plan or their 25 dollar 12 gig plan which mint mobile is actually updating on january 28th so they'll become a 15 4 gig plan a 20 10 gig plan and a 25 15 gig plan you can see why i love mint mobile that's awesome mint definitely isn't for everyone but if you get good t-mobile coverage in your area i think they can help save you a heck of a lot of money per year and that's what i'm all about that's going to be it for this video
