It's cheap, but it comes at the price of giving you a brain aneurysm any time you try to use it and anything doesn't go 100% as intended. The 3 weeks that my phone "broken" while I ordered a new battery, were the happiest 3 weeks of my entire year: because I wasn't constantly aggravated by mint mobile service working at 2% capacity, for any of their specific services on my cell phone. You might as well not have a phone...
Their customer service is like drinking beer that is piss and water, Ryan Reynolds is a liar and should be sued for false advertising. The only reason I gave this 2, not 1, stars/out of 5... is because it's cheap, but they really take advantage of their customers, and spit on them while they scrape for loose change to pay for the cell phone service. It's not as bad as Big Box telecom demanding our kids to carry on the debt of the parents, for 3 further generations on top of being drugged up enough to not care about what they're signing, metaphorically speaking. Though with mint mobile, you will get a brain clot the size of the signal bars (minimal size, no coverage) and have a stroke for how fastidiously frustrating it is, to use.
I hate mint mobile, and have legitimately lost so much of my life because of mint mobile being unreliable, and that's also accounting for the fact that I got cancelled by the trans/queer communities in that same amount of time, in debt to several grand, and stalked by gang bangers trying to end my life. Mint mobile is a worse thorn on my side! But it's cheap...
I plan to buy the Light Phone II and the 5gb/12 month plan from Mint Mobile, so I can simply count my losses and never deal with the insipid evils that come from using a smart phone, ever again.
