  • Changing cell carrier to save

    I'm in the process of changing carriers, right now I'm paying around $75-$80 month for a single line with 5gb of data, add $10 for another line and it's close to $100. With my wife's new job she is using a lot of data, this plan was great if we kept it under 2gb but running it up to 5 really inflated the bill and this company doesn't offer unlimited data.

    I started looking around to save, looked at dang near every carrier until I found mintsim.com and signed on yesterday, they want you to advance pay for 3, 6 or 12 months. They are running a promotion for newbies, $60 for 3 months with 10gb data per month, after the promotion I can keep going for around $30 a month, if I sign on for a year and use a coupon code it drops down to under $25 a month, they don't offer a second line so it's another $25 for that, I think I can get a 2 line cell plan here for around $45 if I trim data from 1 plan, they let you mobile hotspot your phone so my second line can run off the 10gb when it runs out of data.

    We'll have to see how coverage is, it's on the Tmobile network

    Does that include calls & Texts. As soon as my contract with AT&T is up I plan on going back to Ting. Loved that place. I'll keep this in mind though.

      Yes, unlimited calls and texts, I've been looking to move for a couple months and have been shopping around, this is the best deal I came across and I've looked at a lot of carriers, when I saw it I knew it was a deal and jumped on it

        Seems really good then. I may look into it and make a video about it. If you have a referral link I can share yours if you would gain anything from it.

          No referral, nothing in it for me, just sharing the savings and if the service is good I'll comment on that to
