How's mint sim holding up.

[anon(9918034)]

I recently started looking around at cheaper options for cell service. I have been doing alot of reading on mint sim. I just can't seem to find a lot of real world experience.

How does it perform during peak hours? I understand that you will get pushed to side for tmobile customers when it comes to data. My biggest concern is does calling and text get affected.

Been on Mint for four months. Live up in the northern rural section of NJ. Used at&t and an att mvno and there were some pretty large areas with no signal. Speeds were so so (up to 8mbps) but with horrible ping times (100-175 Ms) shudder...on Mint (t-mobile network) I get a steady 40 Mbps and pings of sub 20 Ms...feels like night and day. Maybe mint cs sucks, but I never need or use it. Try to take my mint sim out of my cold.... My activation went flawlessly, ymmv.

Currently have two active lines on Mint.
Central NJ near beach coverage is good.
IMO it's a no-brainer, get it.
T-M coverage is, of course, governing factor.
but even if you signal is half-ways decent: get it.
With your money saved buy a nice bottle of scotch...per month.
Good Luck

I've been using Mint SIM on a secondary line since December, and it's working flawlessly. I had a few hiccups in transitioning from their trial program to a full-fledged account, but the problems were worked out in due time and I have no complaints.

You just have to make sure you have sufficient coverage from T-Mobile in your area. My post-paid carrier is T-Mobile, so I already knew it'd be successful.
