I've been using Mint for 1.5 yrs now and love it. Great coverage and signal strength in the Portland metro and surrounding area. I also travel a lot to NH and have never dropped a call or streaming music.

Nothing but good things to say about Mint!

I swear I'm not a paid person for Mint but one thing that was an unexpected plus for me was when they suggested a *lower, cheaper* plan for me after my Unlimited 3-month intro period ran out. My account showed that I'm using mostly WiFi and so really didn't need the more expensive Unlimited data plan.

I've never had a phone company recommend that I spend less to match my actual data use, so that was a bit cool, for me :) I'm on the $15/mo plan and pay for the year. If my travel goes up in 2023, I may need to adjust, but for now my data is always easily below the limit bc WiFi is basically everywhere.

I have been using Mint Mobile for ~2 years myself. The service uses T-Mobile and Sprint towers and has great coverage in the Greater Portland area, the only issue area I have run into so far is Higgins Beach in Scarborough, but that has been an issue with every provider I have tried in the past as well.

Who wants to talk on the phone when you're at the beach!

Thank you for the information.

Family from out of state rents a cottage there every summer for 2 weeks. I work a job that has rotational on-call work where I either need Wi-Fi or somewhat decent cell signal..
