Mint Mobile Updates Plans With More Data, Launches New Promo

Mint Mobile has updated its wireless plans, giving customers more data without raising its best advertised monthly prices.

Mint’s 5GB plan is now 6GB, its 15GB plan is now 17GB, and its 20GB plan is now 23GB. The Unlimited plan remains unchanged. Mint Mobile with Ryan Reynolds announced the changes today on social media platforms including X.

Mint’s updated plan and pricing structure is now:

As usual with Mint, those lowest monthly rates require paying for 12 months of service upfront. The 6GB plan costs $180 for the year, the 17GB plan costs $240, the 23GB plan costs $300, and the Unlimited plan costs $360.

For shoppers who do not want to start with a full year, Mint is also running a new customer offer that takes $15 off any 3-month plan. That drops the first three months to:

After the promo period, customers have to pick a full-price 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month renewal option. Taxes and fees are extra. Customers hoping to stay on a 3-month plan should be aware the 3-month renewal rates are significantly higher than the annual rates. Regular 3-month renewal pricing is $25/month for 6GB, $35/month for 17GB, $45/month for 23GB, and $40/month for Unlimited.

How Mint Mobile Compares In The Market

At the annual rate, Mint’s 6GB plan at $15/month is a solid improvement over the old 5GB plan, but it is not a market leader. Tello Mobile, another T-Mobile-network provider, currently offers 10GB with unlimited talk and text for $15/month, and Tello does not require a 12-month prepayment to get that rate. Tello also offers 20GB for $20/month and and a 50GB plan for $25/month.

Mint’s 17GB plan at $20/month looks better than before, but it is also going up against Tello’s 20GB plan at the same monthly price. The difference is that Mint requires annual prepayment to hit $20/month, while Tello’s pricing is month-to-month and Tello does not include unlimited slow data after the 20GB is used.

Mint’s 23GB plan at $25/month is more complicated. On paper, 23GB for $25 is a good annual price. But a shopper willing to spend $25/month can now find several unlimited options. Visible and Total Wireless offer unlimited talk, text, data, and hotspot on Verizon’s network for $25/month with taxes and fees included. Boost Mobile offers a $25 “Forever” plan with 30GB of high-speed data before speeds may be reduced, although AutoPay is required for that price. US Mobile on T-Mobile's network offers 70GB for $25/month, taxes and fees included, and Metro by T-Mobile offers truly unlimited high-speed data at the price.

The result is that Mint’s 6GB, 17GB, and 23GB plans are improved, but they are not automatic best buys. They are strongest for customers who like Mint’s brand, want T-Mobile coverage, are comfortable prepaying for a year, and prefer a simple plan lineup. They are weaker for customers who want monthly billing, taxes and fees included, or the most data possible for each dollar spent.

A Security Lapse Worth Watching

Aside from the plan updates, there is also one non-price issue worth mentioning. Several Mint Mobile users recently reported on Reddit that they were seeing other customers’ account information after logging into the Mint app or website. Reported details included names, phone numbers, addresses, emails, and obfuscated payment information. MintMobileAlex responded to the original poster by DM, but I have not seen a detailed public explanation from Mint as to what happened or how many customers may have been affected.

Editor's Take

Mint’s update is good for consumers. It gives customers more data for the same price and makes the first three months cheaper through the new promo.

But the bigger story is the market pressure carrier-owned prepaid brands continue to apply. Mint doesn't always offer best in class pricing as previously discussed, but is often close to it. And it is a carrier-owned prepaid brand with national advertising, strong name recognition, and direct access to the company that owns the network it uses. When Mint raises its data buckets from 5GB to 6GB, 15GB to 17GB, and 20GB to 23GB without raising its annual starting prices, it helps raise what mainstream shoppers expect from low-cost prepaid plans. And it can force independent MVNOs to take notice and have to adjust their plans which they are often already selling on thin margins.

Mint’s refreshed plans are better. They also show how difficult the prepaid market has become. Mint does not have to be the best deal at every price point to pressure the rest of the market. It only has to be big, familiar, carrier-owned, and good enough to make weaker offers harder to defend.
