    I jumped ship to another carrier right after they were bought out by T-Mobile and I’ve dodged price hikes and now data breaches. T-Mobile just ruins everything they touch.

      Price hikes? I just renewed for $250 for a year. I don’t remember the exact price I paid the year before, but $250 is still incredibly cheap compared to most, isn’t it?

        My wife has been with Mint for 5 years now and there have not been any increases to her plan, on the contrary, they increased the data allowance in her tier

          The numbers is the entire reason I remain with Mint. I liked Mint. T-mobile isn’t a company I’d like to do business with and will switch away the moment I see an increase if there’s a better offer elsewhere.

        Hmm, I think I might be mistaken on that then. I remember them announcing that they were nixing the $15 plan (which a couple of my family members were on), but it’s still there. Maybe they reverted it, or it was just Reddit spreading nonsense information. I’ll edit my comment.

        Tello. The service and price have been basically the same as pre-acquisition Mint. They also use T-Mobile’s network but are not owned by them (…for now, at least.)

          I wasn’t aware of their existence. Thank you. I see they’re slightly less expensive than tmo’s mint and don’t require bulk buys, so that’s nice.

        There’s chance they did, but I didn’t get any kind of announcement email about it. I also used an email alias for my old Mint account, so if I suddenly start getting spam emails to that address, I’ll have my answer, lol
