Recently converted to Mint in Central Maine, and I'm happy with it.

I had Boost Mobile when I was in Southern Maine for a while.

It was okay near Portland, but just okay. Terrible anywhere else.

Verizon has the best coverage, but worst price, in my opinion.

Good to hear! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have Verizon through work and you're correct, the coverage is great, but damn they're expensive!

You might consider Visible too then. Similar business model as Mint, but they contract through Verizon instead of T Mobile. Anecdotally I’ve had a pretty good experience through them after a year

I recently switched from Verizon to Spectrum (who use the same network) and you get the same coverage for much cheaper. I've had no issues so far and I drive all over Maine for work

I forgot about Spectrum. As passe as bundles sound, my sister is saving a lot by combining internet, cable, and cell service. Be cautious about data use though. She has the lower data plan, and pays for each Gigabyte over the 1st one. My nephew doesn't always notice not being on wifi, so she gets some surprise bills. Mint's lowest data plan is 4GB, which I consider, much more reasonable.

With spectrum I was able to get unlimited data for $30 a month for my phone which I found significantly better than 90$ for 2gb with verizon
