Mint Mobile launches unlimited data plans: no caps, more hotspots, great deals
Mint Mobile, the affordable MVNO backed by T-Mobile’s 5G network, has officially removed data caps on its Unlimited plan, aligning with the increasing trend among smaller carriers to focus on customer flexibility.
Previously restricted to 40GB of high-speed data, the plan now provides genuinely unlimited data without strict throttling; however, users who surpass 35GB may encounter reduced speeds during times of network congestion.
Major upgrades for subscribers
Uninterrupted High-Speed Data: Enjoy streaming, gaming, or browsing without the concern of unexpected slowdowns after reaching a limit.
10GB Hotspot Data: This is double the prior allocation, perfect for remote work or travel.
480p Video Streaming: The default setting strikes a balance between data efficiency and quality, and can be adjusted in the settings.
Throttling transparency
Mint Mobile’s promise of “no data caps” is a positive feature; however, the carrier has stated that users who exceed 35GB in a month may experience reduced speeds in congested areas. This reduction is not automatic and occurs only during peak times in certain locations.
🚫 No Data Caps: Mint Mobile’s unlimited plans give you truly unlimited, high-speed data.
🔥 Double Hotspot Data: Your hotspot allowance increases from 5GB to 10GB at no extra cost.
⏳ 35GB Fair Usage Policy: In certain areas, speeds may be reduced after 35GB during busy periods.
🎥 480p Default Streaming: Your video stream will automatically adjust to standard definition.
💸 Save $60 for a Limited Time: New customers pay $300 annually for Unlimited + Hotspot.
Limited Time Offer: Get $60 off annual plan
New customers can secure Mint Mobile’s Unlimited plan for $300 per year (regularly priced at $360), resulting in a savings of $5 per month.
This plan includes unlimited talk, text, data, and 10GB of hotspot access. Existing users will automatically benefit from the upgraded features without any increase in price.
Mint Mobile’s decision illustrates a wider trend among MVNOs aiming to rival major carriers by providing clear and affordable plans.
By utilizing T-Mobile’s strong 5G network, the carrier achieves a balance between cost and performance, attracting both heavy data users and budget-minded consumers.
Act quickly—the $300 annual deal is only temporary, and after the promotion ends, pricing will return to the standard rates.
