Mint Mobile upgrades its Unlimited plan with more premium data and hotspot

More high-speed data: The premium data cap has increased from 35GB to 50GB before speeds can slow down.
Double the hotspot: The dedicated hotspot allowance has doubled from 10GB to 20GB.
Same low price: The introductory rate stays as low as $15/month for new customers, with the 12-month renewal price locked at $30/month.

Get the same premium T-Mobile 5G network for half the price. Mint Mobile has upgraded its Unlimited plan with a major boost to 50GB of premium data and 20GB of hotspot, features that now beat T-Mobile's own Essentials plan.

It starts at an unbeatable introductory rate of $15/month for all new customers (available on 3-, 6-, and 12-month plans).

Current Mint users can also save. Commit to a year upfront or renew for one, and your price is firmly locked at $30/month, a full 50% less than T-Mobile's $60 monthly charge. The changes apply immediately, delivering premium value without the premium cost.}

How Mint's plan beats T-Mobile's Essentials

A direct comparison between Mint Mobile versus T-Mobile shows Mint's clear advantage. Both plans offer 50GB of premium data, but Mint provides it at a much lower cost with a better hotspot. In fact, switching from T-Mobile Essentials to Mint Unlimited can save you up to $540 on your phone bill.

Choosing Mint's 12-month plan gets you a better hotspot and predictable pricing for half the cost of T-Mobile's closest plan.

What 50GB of premium data means for you

Premium data is your guaranteed fast speeds on Mint’s T-Mobile network before any slowdowns during busy times. The 50GB cap means most users won't experience reduced speeds. For example, I only use 20GB of data each month, and that includes frequent YouTube streaming and TikTok editing and uploading when I'm away from Wi-Fi.

Premium data allows for consistent HD streaming, large downloads, and smooth browsing in crowded areas. For everyday use, it delivers a truly unlimited high-speed experience.

Don't need that much data? Downgrade.

Think you might be overpaying for data you don’t use? You probably are. With Mint Mobile, you can easily downgrade to a lower data plan when it’s time to renew. In fact, Mint keeps an eye on your usage and will automatically suggest downgrading your plan if your frequent data use is consistently lower than your current plan.

That means Mint actually helps you avoid paying for more than you need. Besides, according to our WhistleOut overspending report, most Americans only use 12GB of data per month.

Double the hotspot to stay connected anywhere

The all-new 20GB hotspot provides plenty of data to connect other devices. Use it for working on a laptop while traveling, streaming on a tablet, or as a backup when Wi-Fi isn't available.

Remember, this 20GB comes from your main 50GB allowance, so check your combined usage in the Mint Mobile app to manage your data if you don't want slower speeds.

Bundle mobile and internet to save more with Mint

Mint currently offers a bundle that combines its Unlimited phone plan with 5G Home Internet. This lets you save on both your mobile and home internet bills, giving you more value if you're looking to cut multiple monthly costs.
