I switched to Mint Mobile, and the first month worked out well. My phone logged 16+ GB of data on this “unlimited talk, unlimited text and unlimited data” plan. It was cheaper than what I had on T-Mobile, which is amusing since Mint is owned by T-Mobile. T-Mobile also owns Sprint, and now US Cellular. Great coverage, and even cheaper plans for folks who don’t need “unlimited” data.

I prepaid for the longest term they offer – 12 months – and got in on a $15/month deal. But if that had not been an option, I could have gotten a plan with more data than I normally use for less than I was paying.

And all of this makes me think back to what I used to pay when the iPhone came out on AT&T ages ago. Back then, my limited minutes pan was $40, then I paid extra for text (not unlimited), and $20 to add data. Geesh.
