If you plan to bundle the Google Pixel deal, you'll receive $500 off the base price of the Google Pixel 9, dropping it from $799 to $299. Next, you'll be able to choose your plan. The Unlimited plan for 12 months cost you $180, which is an exceptional deal. Add these two together, and you'll receive one of the best phones on the market with cell service for $479 for one year. That's an incredible value given Mint Mobile's coverage.
Mint Mobile coverage
Mint Mobile operates on the T-Mobile network, which offers excellent 4G coverage in the U.S. East Coast, South and Mid-Atlantic, but spotty coverage in Western states. On the other hand, Mint Mobile has more 5G coverage than AT&T or Verizon.
Check the map below to see T-Mobile coverage in the U.S. and go to Mint Mobile's interactive map to see 4G and 5G coverage in your area.
Mint Mobile vs Verizon
Mint Mobile is based on the former T. Mobile network. It is less comprehensive than Verizon on 4G, but superior on 5G. On the other hand, Mint Mobile will slow down your download speed after you have used 40 GB in a month.
So, how do the two mobile services compare? Verizon might be your better bet if you work from home or need fast download speeds. But if you're looking for a solid plan at a cheap price, you should consider Mint Mobile. Still not sure? Check out this tom's guide review of Mint Mobile.
