Mint Mobile's 5GB plan for 1 line costs $20 per month.

It rides on the T-Mobile network for coverage.

It includes unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, and 5GB of high-speed data per month. After your high-speed allotment, you get unlimited slow data at 128Kbps. You can use up to all 5GB of data as hotspot data. Video streams at 4K quality.

The Mint Mobile 5GB 6 Months plan has deprioritized data. Having deprioritized data means you may temporarily experience slower speeds during times when the cellular network is busy. You'll resume getting the fastest speeds available when the network is no longer busy.

Taxes and fees are extra on this plan. I estimate they will add another $2.36 to the price. Your total montly bill will be about $22.36 per month.

Overall, I do not recommend the Mint Mobile 5GB 6 Months plan. It is too expensive for the features and data you get.

Mint Mobile 5GB, 1 Line, Regular Price Add-Ons

International Calling
- $
5
/day
/week
/month

Add international calling credit to your account in increments of $5, $10, or $20. International calls, or calls placed from within the United States and made to other countries, will automatically deduct from your international calling credit on a pay-per-minute basis.

Adding international calling credit to your account is the same as adding "money to your wallet." The funds in your wallet can either be used to cover the cost of international calls, or to pay for the cost of your plan. If you add credit to your account for a one-time international call and do not use all of your balance, you can easily apply your remaining balance towards paying for your plan.

International calling rates vary by country. See Mint Mobile's full list of supported countries and international calling rates here.

International calling to Mexico and Canada is included for free with all of Mint Mobile's plans.
