How Mint Mobile helped this Switcher switch carriers one last time

When it comes to choosing a wireless carrier, it’s no secret that one of the main things people consider is the price. It’s also one of the main reasons people switch.That was the case with Cam Barrett, an international advocate for ending child exploitation from Chicago.

Cam was paying her previous carrier way too much for way too long and was ready for a change. Enter Mint Mobile.

Finally fed up, Cam initiates… the switch

Cam’s phone bill had officially gotten out of hand. 

“With my previous carrier, our bill had skyrocketed up to almost $300,” she recalls. “And that was not something that we could afford monthly.”

Fortunately, while scrolling through social media, she discovered Mint Mobile (shout out to our paid media team). 

“I kept seeing ads of Ryan Reynolds pop up, talking about how affordable Mint Mobile was.”

How is Mint Mobile so affordable? For one, it’s just premium wireless. We offer various high-speed data options with unlimited talk & text and, with your 5G-capable device, access to the nation’s largest 5G network, and… that’s it. No fluff, no subscriptions or unnecessary add-ons you didn’t ask for, no getting what we like to call a “Bundlef*!” We also offer wireless in bulk. The more you buy up front, the more you save. New customers can get three months for just $15/month with an upfront payment of $45, then purchase up to 12 months at our lowest rate.

Cam is inspired to share her switching story

“Once I, first hand, saw how incredible the service was, I made a video just kind of being like ‘I feel so stupid for paying so much money to my previous carrier.’”

Cam posted her video on TikTok where it quickly racked up hundreds of thousands of views (2.4M and counting as of June 2024), so it’s safe to say her story resonated with others. And it’s not hard to see why. People are tired of paying hundreds of dollars a month for a necessary utility like wireless service, but they’re also worried about the difficulty that comes with switching. Cam opened her story by letting her followers know how easy it was for her to get started with Mint, followed by how affordable it was.

At Mint, we pride ourselves on how simple it is to make the switch, but also how affordable & flexible our plans are, even if just for one person. And with features like Mint Family and our incredible Refer a Friend program, there are even more ways to save your hard-earned money.  

Of course, having just joined, the ease of switching and price were all Cam knew about Mint so far. The video had garnered thousands of comments — many from other Mint subscribers echoing her sentiments, but even more from people who wanted her honest opinion of the service after she had used it for a while.

Cam is still with Mint Mobile

“I posted that video a while ago and I still get comments to this day asking, ‘Is the Mint Mobile service really that good?’ And I’m always like, ‘Yes.’ I literally still have the service and I really enjoy it.”

It would be weird if we wrote this whole thing to tell you she bailed, right? While the service is a huge priority, it’s not the only thing about Mint Mobile that Cam appreciates. She’s also a fan of the peace of mind that came with it.

“I don’t have anxiety about my phone anymore. So they just won me over for life. Like I’m never gonna change my cell phone service.”

Put that on a t-shirt already.

The peace of mind comes easy with our flexible data plans that you can switch between if and as your needs change.
