I tried and liked Mint, but ended up with Red Pocket (MVNO that does Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) when I moved somewhere that needed AT&T. It is pretty handy having one provider but having a choice of network. It also helps they have plans as low as $5/month, which is great for kids and infrequent users.
- tkanarsky 4y ago$2.50/mo is the lowest, but it's eBay exclusive iirc. Gives you something like 200mb of data. (Which coincidentally makes it one of the best deals for a small IoT project sim like a GPS tracker or remote weather station or whatnot)
- WarOnPrivacy 4y agoAnother vote for Red Pocket. I have 5 handsets on the T-Mobile variant for 30/yr(200min/1kTxt/200mb). Another handset has RP AT&T for incoming sim. Outgoing sim is T-Mobile starter ($23/mo unlim 10gb), good for 2 mos and then a new one arrives.
- MandieD 4y ago$5/month is perfect for expats who need to keep a "real" US mobile number for 2FA that insists on SMS, and who only spend a few weeks a year stateside... looking into it now - thanks so much!
- MandieD 4y ago… but sadly, it’s currently useless for that purpose, as Red Pocket doesn’t support international roaming: https://help.redpocket.com/can-i-still-use-my-red-pocket-mobile-esim-if-i-travel-internationally https://help.redpocket.com/can-i-still-use-my-red-pocket-mob...
- thedanbob 4y agoI used to be on Tello and loved it since the Sprint network had the best performance where I lived. Sadly that went away when they merged with T-Mobile, so I switched to Red Pocket since AT&T is second best here. Great prices and good customer service (the few times I've contacted them).
- dangle1 4y agoI'm also on Red Pocket's $2.50/month plan, totally satisfied, and amazed by the quality of the customer service as well considering I'm paying them essentially nothing. Hope it lasts.
