Mint Mobile's best prices are for new customers, and they last for your first 3, 6 or 12 months only. After that, you renew at Mint's regular price, which depends on the plan and how many months you pay for upfront. The short version: Unlimited costs $30 a month on a 12-month term, $35 on 6 months and $40 on 3 months, plus taxes and fees.
Mint Mobile prices when you renew
| Plan | 12 months | 6 months | 3 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6GB | $15/mo ($180) | $20/mo ($120) | $25/mo ($75) |
| 17GB | $20/mo ($240) | $25/mo ($150) | $35/mo ($105) |
| 23GB | $25/mo ($300) | $35/mo ($210) | $45/mo ($135) |
| Unlimited | $30/mo ($360) | $35/mo ($210) | $40/mo ($120) |
So the length you pick matters as much as the plan. Unlimited on a 3-month term costs $120 a year more than on a 12-month term.
What happens when your first term ends
- Mint renews you automatically on the same plan and term, at the regular price, if Auto-Recharge is on.
- You can change plan or term before you renew, in the Mint app or on Mint's website.
- New-customer deals don't apply to renewals. That includes the 10th-anniversary offer below.
Prices for existing customers
Existing customers pay the regular prices in the table above. Mint's promotions, such as $15 a month on any plan earlier this year, are for new customers only. Mint says it has never raised plan rates for its customers, so the regular prices have stayed the same.
The cheapest way to stay is to renew on a 12-month term. If you're on a 3-month Unlimited plan at $40 a month, moving to 12 months brings it to $30.
The 10th-anniversary deal
For its 10th anniversary in October, Mint advertised six months of any plan, including Unlimited, for $10 a month ($60 upfront) for new customers. Check Mint's deals page for whether it's still running. When the six months end, you renew at the regular 6-month price, so Unlimited would go to $35 a month, or $30 if you switch to a 12-month term.
What taxes add
Mint's prices don't include taxes and fees. Expect a few dollars a month on top, depending on your state. If you want a price with taxes included, Visible's Unlimited plan is $25 a month all-in on Verizon's network.
