This is going to be pretty subjective for anyone reading this and the main reason is coverage. If it worked for the test, then I would be OK doing that. In order to save the most, I would have to commit to paying 12 months at a time. Switching from Cricket to Mint was a pure money saving play. They have to ship it, so you will wait a few days. I paid $60 and got the Sim card for free. Since I like to test things out before I push my wife over to them, I bought the $20/month plan for 3 months.

So I would have been able to drop my monthly payment in half if we both got on the $20/month plan with Mint for 10GB of data. In fact, even when we travel, we only use about 4-5GB of data. We are usually around WiFi so having unlimited data was really unnecessary. My wife and I both have plans and paid $80/month for unlimited data. I really had no issues with Cricket at all. Here are their current rates (as of September 2022). You get the cheapest rate when you are paying for 12 months upfront. They pride themselves on low costs, but one thing they don’t tell you in these commercials is you get the deals because you pay upfront for month blocks. It wasn’t until he got into the business that it really took off (this is my opinion at least).
