Teacher's pet: How Mint Mobile became this instructor's favorite

You know what they say: Give a man a wireless plan, he’s connected for a day. Teach a man how to switch to Mint Mobile, he’s connected for life. And Clemente Salgado’s life is a busy one. He tutors special needs students, teaches art, as well as leads and performs in his orchestra – so it’s important he has a phone plan he can rely on consistently. Prepared to get schooled on why Mint Mobile is the real deal.

Clemente was compensated for his time, not for his glowing remarks – those were free.

"I like Mint compared to what I had before" - Quote from Clemente

Gold star for how easy it is to switch to Mint

We get it. “Switching carriers” sounds as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard. Clemente thought so too, but he quickly learned that wasn’t the case with Mint:

“Being on Mint, I was pleasantly surprised that I could switch over so easily. I had a previous experience where it was just going through a lot of hoops, but with Mint Mobile, I just used the app. I didn’t have to contact anybody, and it was done within a couple of minutes.” 

If you want to learn just how easy switching to Mint can be, study up on how you can keep your phone number like Clemente. After he made the switch, Clemente discovered he also had the support he needed to manage his new wireless plan.

“I like Mint compared to what I had before, because now I have a lot more data and I’m able to track it through the app.”

It’s not rocket science that life’s easier when you can easily manage your account, keep track of data usage and get support all in one place. Or as Clemente puts it:

“It’s just a lot easier to have that peace of mind as I’m using it.”

All work and all play makes Mint a great buy

As a teacher, Clemente looks for new ways to keep his students engaged with his lessons. And with high-speed data on the nation’s largest 5G network, making new connections comes easy.

“Just a week ago I was tutoring one of my students, and the public library was still closed. So we ended up playing games outside (on my phone), and had a good connection the whole time.”

Evidently, those hard learned life-lessons are his favorite:

“I didn’t let my student win, you know, because life is hard and… I’m not gonna let them just beat me like that.”

Life may be hard, but getting online isn’t. Mint Mobile’s network provides 5G coverage to 98% of Americans and 4G LTE coverage to 99%*. That means Clemente can confidently use Mint on any kind of field trip – especially when he’s abroad.  


“I like that I could also add international roaming, so I did go south of the border with it, down to Tijuana and Ensenada and Rosarito, and it was so painless and seamless.”

In addition to free calling to Mexico and Canada, all Mint Mobile plans let you go global with a Minternational Pass. Learn how you can get high-speed data with talk & text in 180+ countries – and no, this isn’t a word problem.

"Switching to Mint Mobile was a really obvious choice because you do save a lot of money" - Quote from Clemente

Don’t overthink it 

“Switching to Mint Mobile was a really obvious choice because you do save a lot of money. There’s a lot of plans to choose from. Even their website is really easy to navigate. All the plans are out there, and you can see how much you’re using, or even the three month kit, and adjust accordingly.”

And there you have it. Mint Mobile has flexible options that meet your needs. But of course, there’s going to be a quiz – a plan match quiz that everyone passes with ease. Dive right in to find your perfect wireless plan fit, or read up on how it all works first for even better results.
