At WhistleOut, Mint Mobile is the carrier we point people to when their phone bill makes them angry. It's an MVNO that runs on T-Mobile's network (and is actually owned by T-Mobile), so you get the same towers as one of the big three for roughly a third of the price. The trade-off is how Mint sells its service: You pay for three, six, or twelve months upfront, and the longer you commit, the less you pay per month. It looks odd the first time you see it, but it's exactly why Mint's prices can stay low and affordable.
We've tested Mint ourselves, and the short version is that the deals are real, but they rotate. The phone discount that's live today may be gone next month, and that's why we work hard to keep this page current. So bookmark this page and check back before you buy. Below, we've split everything into phone deals and plan deals to keep things clear. Let's get into it.
Commit to a year if you can
That $15/month price tag you see everywhere is the annual rate, not what you'll pay renewing three months at a time. If you can float the upfront cost, the 12-month plan is almost always the move.
Mint Mobile phone deals
1. Save up to $500 on the Google Pixel 10 series
New customers can save up to $500 across the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, or Pixel 10 Pro XL by bundling the phone with a year of Mint service. Stack that with Mint's $15/month Unlimited annual rate, and the math gets silly good in your favor.
To break it down for you, the Pixel 10 normally runs $799, so $500 off drops it to about $299. Add the $180 you'd pay for a year of Unlimited, and you're looking at roughly $479 for a current flagship device and 12 months of premium wireless. You'll need to port your number and pay the year upfront to qualify.

2. Get $300 off the Google Pixel 10 Pro
Get $300 off the Pixel 10 Pro when you purchase it with any 12-month plan. The Pro starts around $999, so $300 off brings it to about $699, and with the $180 year of Unlimited, you're at roughly $879 for the phone and a year of service. No trade-in required for this one. All you'll need to do is port your number and pay the year upfront to qualify.

3. Get a year of Unlimited for $15/month when you purchase the Apple iPhone 17
Prefer iOS? Mint sells the iPhone 17, too, and while there's no discount on the phone itself here, the plan savings make up for it. Buy the iPhone 17 with a 12-month plan, and you get the year of Unlimited for $15/month ($180 for the year) instead of the standard $30/month, so you're saving $180 on service. The iPhone 17 costs $799, which puts you at roughly $979 for a brand-new iPhone and a full year of premium wireless. You'll need to port your number and pay the year upfront to qualify.
Mint Mobile plan deals
Don't need a new phone? Bring the one you've got. Mint's plan-only deals are where the carrier earns its reputation, and they're dead simple: pick how much data you want, pick how long you want to commit, and pay upfront. Every plan includes unlimited talk and text, mobile hotspot, and free calls to Mexico and Canada.
New customers always get Mint's lowest rate for the first three months. After that, you renew in three-, six-, or twelve-month chunks. The best part? The 12-month rate matches that intro rate, so committing to a year is how you keep the low price instead of watching it jump at renewal.
Get $15 off any plan with code 15OFF
The big three want $50 a month and up for a single line of unlimited data. AT&T's cheapest unlimited plan runs about $50/month, while Verizon and T-Mobile are closer to $60–$65/month. Mint runs on the same T-Mobile towers and charges a fraction of that.
Right now, new customers can knock $15 off any 3-month plan with promo code 15OFF at checkout. That brings every tier down to a tryout price you pay once, upfront, with no contract:
- 5GB: $10/month ($30 upfront for 3 months)
- 15GB: $20/month ($60 upfront for 3 months)
- 20GB: $15/month ($45 upfront for 3 months)
- Unlimited: $25/month ($75 upfront for 3 months)
That's Unlimited data on T-Mobile's 5G network for half what AT&T charges, and a 5GB plan for the price of a couple of coffees. Plans renew at the regular rate after the 3-month intro period, so this is the cheapest way to test Mint before deciding how long to commit. Every plan includes unlimited talk and text, mobile hotspot, and free calls to Mexico and Canada.

Mint Mobile plan pricing
Here's how Mint's per-month pricing shakes out across every plan and commitment length. These are the standard rates. The 15OFF promo above knocks another $15 off the first three months.
| 5GB plan | 15GB plan | 20GB plan | Unlimited | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First 3 months | $15/mo | $20/mo | $25/mo | $30/mo |
| 3-month renewal | $25/mo | $35/mo | $45/mo | $40/mo |
| 6-month renewal | $20/mo | $25/mo | $35/mo | $35/mo |
| 12-month renewal | $15/mo | $20/mo | $25/mo | $30/mo |
Save with Mint's Modern Family plan
Mint's Modern Family plan is the move for households. You get Mint's best 12-month pricing on a bundle of two to five lines, but instead of prepaying a full year, you only pay every three months. It's a rare bit of flexibility from a carrier built around annual commitments, and it works just as well for roommates as it does for actual families. Worth a look too: Mint Kids for younger lines and Mint 55+ for seniors.
Mint Mobile home internet (MINTernet) bundle
MINTernet is Mint's home internet. It uses T-Mobile's 5G network instead of cables, so there's no installation and no technician.
Here is the deal. You buy one year of MINTernet and one year of Mint's Unlimited phone plan at the same time. You pay for both upfront in a single payment.
That payment is $540 for the whole year. Split across 12 months, that works out to $45 a month for both phone and internet service. On their own, a year of MINTernet costs $480 and a year of Unlimited costs $360, which is $840 total. The bundle is $540. So buying them together saves you $300.
One thing to check first: MINTernet only works if you have a strong 5G signal at your home. Type your address into Mint's website before you buy. If the signal is good, you are set. If it is not, MINTernet will not work for you.
You can also buy MINTernet on its own, without a phone plan. But you save the most by buying the bundle.
The deals Mint runs again and again
After tracking Mint's promotions for years, we've noticed the carrier leans on the same handful of deals over and over. This isn't a certain thing, but if a deal below isn't live right now, there's a good chance it'll return, so it pays to recognize one when you see it.
Here are the recurring promos worth watching for:
Recurring Mint Mobile deals
| Deal | What you get | When it usually shows up |
|---|---|---|
| Year of Unlimited for $15/mo | 12 months of Unlimited at half the standard rate ($180 upfront) | New Year, and on and off through the year |
| 50% off Unlimited | The Unlimited plan cut to $15/mo on any term | Presidents' Day, plus other windows |
| Buy 3 months, get 3 free | Pay for a 3-month plan, get 3 more months free | Black Friday / Cyber Monday |
| 6 free months with a phone | Buy a phone and a 6-month plan, get 6 months of service free | Black Friday / Cyber Monday |
| Percentage-off coupon | A flat discount on annual plans (e.g. 30% off with code YEAROFMINT) | Black Friday / Cyber Monday |
| Phone bundle discounts | Hundreds off a new phone paired with a year of service | Galaxy and Pixel launch windows, holidays |
Mint Mobile free trial
Not sure Mint's right for you? Test it before you spend a dollar. Mint offers a 7-day free trial that runs alongside your current service, so you don't have to cancel anything to try it. You'll need an unlocked phone, and if it supports eSIM, you can be up and running in minutes. Otherwise, Mint mails you a physical SIM.
The trial gives you:
- 250 minutes of talk
- 250 texts
- 250MB of data (5G and 4G LTE)
When the week's up, you can sign up for a plan or walk away without owing anything.
Why choose Mint Mobile?
Price
Mint offers some of the lowest prices among the carriers we test. A year of Unlimited at $15/month is less than half of what the big three (T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon) charge for comparable data plans, and that's the reason most people end up here. If your goal is a smaller bill without gutting your service, Mint is hard to beat. See how an Unlimited plan lines up in our roundup of the best Mint Mobile plans.
Network
Mint runs on T-Mobile's network, which means strong, fast nationwide 5G, the same coverage you'd get paying full price at T-Mobile. The low price doesn't mean a bad signal. Check the Mint Mobile coverage map to confirm your area.
Things to know
One honest caveat: As an MVNO, Mint users can get their data speeds deprioritized during busy periods, meaning your speeds may slow when a tower is congested, and T-Mobile's own customers get first dibs. Most people never notice; it tends to show up only in crowded places at peak times or during large events. If you live somewhere with constant heavy congestion, weigh that before switching.
