Mint Mobile, a regular on our guide to the best cheap cell phone plans has now launched a new unlimited data plan at the extremely competitive introductory price of just $30 a month.
While that price is only for an introductory 3-month period (after which you'll have to sign up for a 12-month plan to keep it that low), it's a fantastic option for those looking to pair an unlocked device with a flexible plan.
In case you didn't know much about Mint - it's currently one of the most popular - and fastest-growing - pre-paid providers and it operates a fairly unique 'buy in bulk' pricing scheme. You can buy your plan in 3 month, 6 month, or yearly segments, with the bigger packages averaging out to lower monthly prices overall. Overall, they're really great value plans and they also tend to have good coverage, courtesy of utilizing the T-Mobile network.Â
Speaking of Visible, it feels like this new Mint Mobile plan is squarely aimed at taking on the unlimited plan from the Verizon subsidiary. At the introductory price of just $30 a month, Mint Mobile is definitely looking like the better value option right now when compared to Visible's $40 a month plan. That said, those data speed caps after 35/GB might prove irritating for some users, and there's a lot to be said for Visible's excellent coverage - courtesy of the Verizon network, which might beat out Mint's T-Mobile based service depending on your locale.
