Mint Mobile’s $15 Unlimited Plan is the kind of deal we really want to tell you about

We don’t usually get excited about wireless plans. But this one stopped us mid-scroll. Starting today, Mint Mobile is offering 12 months of unlimited data, talk, and text for $15/month. That’s $180 total for the whole year. No contracts. No bundles. Just an actual deal that makes your monthly bills a little less ridiculous. The offer runs through September 18, and it’s open to new customers only. If you’ve been thinking about switching, this is a good time to do it.

What you’re getting

Mint’s Unlimited Plan truly is unlimited. You get full-speed data, talk, and text on T-Mobile’s 5G and 4G LTE network, plus mobile hotspot access. No add-ons. No surprise limits. Each month, you get 35GB of high-speed data. If you hit that mark, your speeds may slow down during times of heavy network traffic. But once congestion eases, your speeds pick back up automatically. Your access never shuts off, and you don’t get penalized with overage fees or weird throttling tiers. The plan costs $180 up front for the full year (taxes and fees not included), which works out to $15/month. No contracts, no retail store visits, and no monthly bill to dread.

How this compares to what most of us are paying

We looked around.

• T-Mobile’s entry-level unlimited: $60/month
• Verizon’s cheapest unlimited: $65/month
• Visible (Verizon’s discount brand): $25–$45/month
• Boost Infinite: $25/month

Mint’s new deal undercuts everyone. Even the budget plans. Even the ones with asterisks. And if you’ve got multiple people on your account? The savings add up fast with Mint Mobile's family plans.

Why we’re sharing this

We don’t cover every mobile promo we get pitched. Most don’t hold up. This one does. What we like about Mint is that it works for real families, especially the ones juggling multiple lines and trying not to get hit with surprise overage fees. You can manage everything from one dashboard. Each person gets their own plan. And the pricing stays predictable, even when someone forgets to turn off YouTube autoplay.

A smart move for first phones and older parents

For kids: Mint’s plans work for first phones, especially when you want to set a data cap and keep some oversight. Speeds slow down when they hit the limit, but they can still text you when they miss the bus. For older adults: Mint 55+ strips out the noise. Easy setup, helpful support, and no upcharges for things they’ll never use. You get reliable service, they get to call the grandkids. Everyone wins.

Still unsure? There’s a short-term option too

If you’re not ready to commit for the full year, Mint’s 3-month plans are still just $15/month. It’s the same deal, but without the 12-month lock-in. Try it, then decide.

What to check before switching

• You’ll need to pay the full $180 up front.
• Most unlocked phones work, but you can confirm on their site.
• You can bring your number. Or not.
• Make sure the T-Mobile network covers your area.

The takeaway

This is a real deal. No contracts, no fine print riddled with “gotcha” fees, no weird bundles you don’t need. If your wireless bill is one of those things you keep meaning to deal with, now’s your shot. You can save a chunk of money, streamline your setup, and skip the store entirely.
