Mint Mobile is well known for its affordable and reliable cell service on T-Mobile's network, as our firsthand testing has shown. Now with the introduction of its 5G Home Internet plans, Mint can save you even more on your monthly bill. By bundling your phone and internet plans with Mint Mobile, you can pay as low as $60/month over 12 months for both services.
You get access to T-Mobile's extensive 5G network across the nation, premium data for top speeds, and the flexibility to take your home internet with you if you ever need to move. That said, you are limited to T-Mobile's coverage map, so make sure you're covered where you live before you commit.
Read on to learn how Mint's bundle works, what's included, and how much you could save by making the switch.
What is Mint Mobile's new 5G Home Internet service?
Mint Mobile's 5G Home Internet, officially called "MINTernet," launched in October 2025 as the carrier's first home internet service. It's a prepaid wireless solution that runs on T-Mobile's 5G network—the same reliable network that powers Mint's mobile phone plans.
MINTernet works like your phone's mobile data connection, but for your entire household. Instead of cables or fiber, it uses T-Mobile's cellular towers to deliver internet service. You receive a wireless gateway that captures the 5G signal and broadcasts Wi-Fi to all your devices.
Since it's completely wireless, MINTernet is ideal for renters, people who move frequently, or anyone in areas where cable and fiber aren't available. It's also perfect for current Mint Mobile customers who already get strong T-Mobile service at home. The setup requires no technician appointment, no installation fees, and no contracts. You simply plug in the gateway, turn it on, and connect your devices to start using the internet immediately.How MINTernet works: 5G home internet on T-Mobile's network
MINTernet 5G Home Internet works like a mobile hotspot, but instead of using your phone, Mint provides you with a wireless gateway. This device functions like a permanent router that connects directly to T-Mobile's 5G network.

Once you plug in the gateway, it captures the 5G signal from nearby T-Mobile towers and converts it into a Wi-Fi network for your entire home. This means all your devices—from laptops and smart TVs, to security cameras and gaming consoles—can connect to reliable internet without cables, fiber lines, or using your phone's data.
As a T-Mobile MVNO, both Mint Mobile's phone service and home internet operate anywhere on T-Mobile's 5G towers. This gives you access to the largest 5G network in the United States, covering 41.35% of the country nationwide.

Just like Mint's mobile service, Mint's 5G Home Internet is available in 3-, 6-, and 12-month packages. However, since Mint only offers multi-month service plans, you have to pay for your total term upfront. For example, if you sign up for 6 months of service at $35/month, you have to pay the total of $210 right away.
That said, the more months of Mint service you commit to, the cheaper your monthly rate becomes. The most affordable option is the standard 12-month internet plan bundled with any Mint mobile phone plan, dropping your monthly internet price to just $30—a total upfront cost of $360 for a full year of service.
New customers can test Mint’s internet and mobile service bundle with a special 3-month introductory offer for $30/month—the same discounted rate as the bundled annual plan. This lets you try the service before committing to a full year. Just remember that this is an introductory price. If you renew after the 3-month period, the regular $40/month price will apply unless you choose a longer 6- or 12-month plan.
What’s the best Mint phone plan?
The best Mint Mobile plan for you depends on your data needs. Since the average American uses between 10–15GB per month, the 15GB is best for most people. It provides enough data for everyday tasks, like browsing, social media, and some video streaming.
For those who use more data or simply want peace of mind, the Unlimited plan is the most versatile option, eliminating any worry about overage. For light users mostly on Wi-Fi, the 5GB plan is a great budget-friendly alternative.

MINTernet pricing as a standalone service
Mint's internet plans offer some of the most affordable pricing you'll find, especially when you consider there are no installation fees or equipment rentals. Mint Mobile internet standalone prices range from $40–$50/month.
New customers to MINTernet pay only $40/month for 3 months of service with Mint’s introductory offer. Don’t forget that after the 3 months, standard rates apply for any plan you renew.
If you want MINTernet without a Mint Mobile phone plan, you'll pay these standard rates:
Mint Mobile 5G Home Internet pricing only
| Plan length | Intro offer | Renewal price | Upfront cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 months | $40/mo. | $50/mo. |
$120 |
| 6 months | None | $45/mo. |
$270 |
| 12 months | None | $40/mo. |
$480 |
If you get good Mint Mobile coverage at your house, you should switch your cell phone to Mint Mobile too. By adding a Mint mobile plan, you'll automatically save $10/month on your home internet while getting the same reliable network performance for your phone.
How to get Mint’s bundle discount
You'll automatically receive the $10/month bundle discount when you sign up for both a Mint Mobile phone plan and MINTernet home internet at the same time. The system will immediately apply the savings to your internet service once both are added to your cart.
If you already have one service and decide to add the other later, you can still get the discount through your Mint portal. Add either an internet or a mobile line after logging into your account on Mint’s website or app, and your discount will automatically be applied. If something goes wrong and you don’t see the discount, you can contact Mint Mobile's customer service to link your services to it.
MINTernet vs T-Mobile Home Internet
Since MINTernet runs on T-Mobile's network, it's worth comparing it directly to T-Mobile's own 5G Home Internet offering. While they use the same infrastructure, there are some key differences in pricing, features, and flexibility.
Is T-Mobile or Mint's 5G home internet cheaper?
When comparing 5G home internet options, Mint Mobile is cheaper on all fronts. While T-Mobile's home internet starts at $50/month, Mint's service ranges from $30–$50/month depending on your commitment length. In fact, Mint’s annual internet plan is $10/month cheaper than T-Mobile’s lowest-tier plan.
Here’s a direct comparison between Mint’s 12-month internet plan and T-Mobile’s cheapest internet option:
Mint Mobile and T-Mobile internet comparison

Both carriers offer bundle discounts, but the biggest difference between Mint and T-Mobile comes from the required phone plans. T-Mobile provides a $15/month discount (bringing internet to $35/month) while Mint offers a $10/month discount (bringing internet to $30/month). However, any T-Mobile savings are overshadowed by its costly phone plans.
- The lowest-price bundle at T-Mobile totals $95/month. That’s a combination of the cheapest postpaid phone plan ($60/month) and cheapest internet option ($35/month), for a monthly bill of $95/month.
- The best bundle Mint bundle costs $60/month, which includes an unlimited phone plan ($30/month) on the annual plan, plus bundled internet ($30/month).
The choice is yours: $60/month can get you cell and internet service from Mint, or one low-tier phone plan from T-Mobile.
Performance and speeds
Both MINTernet and T-Mobile 5G Home Internet deliver similar performance since they're on the same network. You can expect download speeds of 133–415Mbps and upload speeds of 12–5Mbps with either service. That’s great speed for a family household with multiple devices each. But serious gamers or heavy data users might need to consider faster speeds with one of T-Mobile’s upper-tier plans.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that you’re connecting to a wireless network rather than a physical cable, so your speeds will vary depending on coverage near you. When we tested Mint’s mobile plans, we saw a major difference in speeds firsthand—Angelo averaged 400Mbps in Irvine, California, while Daphne got 58Mbps in Boise, Idaho. Considering Mint’s internet uses the same network, you’ll likely experience faster or slower speeds depending on where you live.
Important: You have to use the gateway Mint loans you to use with your 5G Home Internet service. This device remains Mint's property, and you must return it if you cancel your service. If you don't return the gateway within the required timeframe, you'll be charged a $220 equipment fee. Be sure to keep your original packaging to make the return process easy.
Data caps and perks: What's the fine print?
Mint's MINTernet provides 1TB of full-speed data each month, while T-Mobile's plan offers a slightly higher amount of 1.2TB. To put that in perspective, 1TB allows you to upload over 50,000 high-definition TikTok videos in a single month.
This is more than enough for most households, but heavy users who frequently upload large files or have multiple people streaming in 4K might value T-Mobile's extra 200GB.
How to sign up for the Mint Mobile bundle
Getting started with Mint's phone and internet bundle is straightforward, whether you're brand new to Mint or already a customer.
For new Mint Mobile customers
If you're switching to Mint for the first time, here's the process:
- Check coverage: Before anything else, verify that T-Mobile 5G service is available at your address on Mint's website.
- Choose your Mint phone plan: Select one of Mint's four phone plans (5GB, 15GB, 20GB, or Unlimited). All plans qualify for the internet bundle discount.
- Add MINTernet: During checkout or immediately after activating your phone plan, you can add MINTernet to your account. Select your preferred term length (3, 6, or 12 months).
Remember, Mint requires prepayment for your entire term. If you choose 12 months of phone service and 12 months of internet, you'll pay for both upfront. Your $10/month discount will be applied automatically when you check out and pay.
Pro tip: Start with the 3-month plan for both services to test coverage and speeds in your area before committing to a full year.

The Mint Mobile phone and internet bundle helps you save without sacrificing quality.

And you're getting both phone service and home internet on the same reliable T-Mobile 5G network that powers the major carriers.
The Mint bundle is best for:
- Budget-conscious households looking to cut their monthly bills.
