It may still be okay, cause Boost has $15 per month plan. Total cost for 2 years is 800+15*24-200 = 960 dollars. Looks pretty cool to me. //@cheetah: It’s locked. //@anonymous: Is this real?

I did quite a bit of research on Mint mobile and there's two things that I found that concern me.

One is their customer support, a lot of it is done by email and you get many complaints of not getting things done in time. I think this is very important, you have to have a good platform when it comes to customer service.

Secondly, because they use T-Mobile's towers T-Mobile customers come first so you could be a baseball game and the T-Mobile customer next to you has got full five bar capacity and is doing loads of downloads whereas you've got basically nothing if that makes sense as T-Mobile customers come first, and rightfully so.

These are problems for every MVNO. On the upside, their price is unbeatable, and you will be fine in most use cases.

Obviously. Because I and my family are using Mint Mobile for the last 5 years. We are all loving it. Zero issues. Maybe you are working for T Mobile. //@Anonymous: You have responded 'Nonsense' to what I have read online. I apologize, obviously you know a lot more than me.

Will not work for current customer. You have either to get a new number or leave Mint then port your number back. //@Anonymous: also a mint customer, service seems fine. does anyone know if this deal is good for current customers? and if these can be purchased multiple times and applied to a single account? thx

on mint for 2 years with no issues. MVNO is the way to go.

I have Mint for 2.5 years now. I stream at least 10-15 GBs a month and have had no issues (I have the unlimited plan and have not hit a cap yet). I stream mostly when I workout and when I drive. I haven't had issues hotspotting either occasionally, but I think there's a cap on that. Just keep in mind that they are using T-Mobile networks and there are spotty areas. Think Verizon still has the least spotty areas, but they're also a lot more expensive. Also, more expensive to use Mint Mobile internationally. Haven't had the need to call or email customer support. I am guessing if you have an issue with your phone that you might do that maybe... but the billing and stuff is pretty straight forward and dry. Not much to argue/negotiate there. You won't get a refund if you stop using it halfway - you prepaid for it.

Unlocking Policy:
These phones can unlock after 60 days from activation WITH Verizon Wireless service. You only have to buy ONE MONTH of service For this to apply. Only problem is that Verizon just bought TFW Family of phones AND Not all phones are compatible (YET) with Verizon. The only chance to verify that your iPhone IS compatible with Verizon is to wait for your device AND ask a Customer Service Rep. Otherwise, Phone will unlock after 12 months of continuous service with its pertaining company //@anonymous: unlocked or lockecked?

Tracfone/TW's unlock policy has been updated to match Verizon. So there is no need to deal with Verizon. At least that's what it says on the unlock policy page. Correct me if you have recent experience not being able to unlock after 60 days. //@pacer: Unlocking Policy:

Not too bad. Called their tech support and confirmed that 60 days of services is needed for unlocking the phone.

Just to point out that xfinity uses Verizon network, so the phones will be Verizon network compatible phones.
