Myself, my ex, and our son had all been Verizon users for many many years. Because of geography we all had our own plans. The cheapest of those plans was mine, and it was in the neighborhood of $90 a month for 8GB of data with rollover. The other two plans were far higher.
I looked into the Verizon options, and honestly they were a joke. I had to get a new phone and the bill would drop by maybe $10 a month.
After researching the reasonably priced carriers extensively, I went with Mint, choosing their 15GB plan. Paid annually, it’s only $20 a month, and they had a special where you get that price while paying only 3 months worth and getting three additional months free. So for only $60 plus about $10 tax, I got 6 months of service. Activating my several year old Galaxy S9+ went like clockwork! Almost instantly I was off Verizon and on Mint.
I also referred the ex and my son to Mint, and their bills dropped as did mine. Mint allows you 4 paid referrals per year, and just with those two I earned a $150 credit! And, as newly referred Mint customers, each received a $15 credit on their accounts as well!
The service has been excellent. There are a couple of places where I had very weak Verizon service but now don’t have service. These are both inside a couple of metal buildings. That is literally the only difference I’ve noticed.
My 6 months is almost up, so I’m about to renew for a year at 12 x $20 = $240, minus my $150 credit, for a net amount of $90.
I recommend them very highly.
And also, I have 2 more remaining referrals, so if you go with Mint, help a Freeper out and let me refer you! :-D
