Mint Mobile offers its unlimited plan for $15 per month for one year. Or, if you buy a select phone, you receive a 50% discount on two years of unlimited.
Mint Mobile offers what many of the big carriers lack: Simplicity in pricing. What you see is what you pay without any eyebrow furrowing fees.
And right now, Mint Mobile has an exceptional deal to consider. You can receive their unlimited plan for $15 per month for one year. That's a 50% discount off their regular price.

Mint Mobile deals: How do I qualify?
To earn Mint Mobile's $15 a month unlimited deal, you must transfer an existing number to Mint Mobile. If you plan on switching carriers anyway, this isn't a big deal since you can keep your number.
Make sure you have your pertinent information ready before signing up online or at a store. This includes your previous carrier's account number and account PIN, which you'll need to authorize the transfer of your number.
However, one difference between this new deal and previous ones is that you don't have to buy a phone. You can bring your own.
On top of this, you will have to prepay for one year of service at $180. However, given that the average cell phone bill is $141 per J.D. Power, your prepayment of $180 could pay for itself much quicker than you expect.
Any limitations on Mint Mobile's deal?
While Mint Mobile's deal is great on the surface, it isn't going to be for everyone. First, the high-speed data allowance, while nice, might be limited to some.
Yes, you do receive unlimited data with the plan, but there are usage caps. Mint Mobile notes that if you're in a high-congestion area and exceed usage of 35GB, your speeds might throttle for the rest of the month.
Now, this isn't a big deal if you're on Wi-Fi most of the time, but if you want the flexibility of truly unlimited, you might want to consider other options, such as T-Mobile's 55+ plans.
Another thing is that you'll only receive 10GB of mobile hotspot. For travelers who require a secure internet connection on the go, a mobile hotspot is usually a go-to. But the 10GB cap on the unlimited plan will limit you.
On top of this, you don't receive any of the streaming features that the top mobile carriers offer. For T-Mobile, I receive Netflix, Hulu and Apple TV Plus ad-supported versions for free.
However, with the savings gained from Mint Mobile, you can sign up for all three of these and still come out ahead.
Can I buy a new phone through Mint Mobile?
If you want access to a newer device, Mint Mobile has exceptional deals on some of the top models that include two years of unlimited service for a 50% discount:
This iPhone deal comes with two years of the unlimited plan, saving you $360.
This bundle will cost you $1,359 upfront, which can seem like a steep payment. However, when you break it down, you're receiving a world-class phone with unlimited data, texting and calling.
What's more, the $1,359 is an exceptional deal for two years. Broken down, you'll pay a little over $56 per month, well below the average monthly bill of $141.
Meanwhile, if you feel more comfortable with Android phones, you can score a great deal and save even more:
Save $440 on this phone and receive a discounted plan deal for two years.
With this Samsung deal, you pay $720 for a brand new phone and two years of service. Broken down, it amounts to $30 a month for two years. That's incredible savings.
Is Mint Mobile right for me?
Mint Mobile is perfect if you're looking to save on your cell phone bill and don't require any of the extra perks major carriers provide.
After all, say you take advantage of the Samsung Galaxy S25 deal. You'll pay $30 per month for a new phone with unlimited texting, calling and high-speed data access for two years. That's a fantastic deal.
On the flip side, if you're an avid traveler requiring unlimited high-speed access or need mobile hotspot data, then the traditional carriers are going to be the better option since the perks they offer are usually worth the added fees.
