I've ordered the starter kit from Mint Mobile, going to give it a try tomorrow. Switching from my AT&T plan that was just what I was rolled into when I left the corporate world.
Mint runs on AT&T, so the service should be the same at the house. Data is de-prioritized when the network is busy, but as long as I stay away from large crowds of people all trying to live stream nonsense I shouldn't notice. Staying away from lots of people is good advice even if you don't have cheap service.
It's $15/month for the 4GB plan, and I'm using under 1GB now so I should be fine even if I go crazy with the youtubes or crotchtok or whatever.
After the first 3 months (that you have to pre-pay) you can renew for 3/6/12 months. To keep the $15/month rate you have to pre-pay for 12 months. Pretty sure I can swing that once-a-year $200 charge (taxes and fees, yo) if it saves me long term; about a 70% reduction in my cell cost per year.
I'll update the thread after I try the activation and have tested data around town.
