Phones have become more than a nice-to-have accessory — they’re now necessary utilities. Which means it’s now more important than ever to find a phone plan that’s as unique as you. And luckily for Michael Goedel from Tucson, AZ, he found his at Mint Mobile. The father of two and Integrations & Test Engineer uses his plan while he travels across the country performing Native American hoop dancing, a tradition passed down through his family.

“Best thing that ever happened to me was Mint”

Prior to being on Mint Mobile, Michael had never paid for a phone plan — he’d always been on his parents’ plan

“When I found Mint, I thought it was too good to be true. I thought there was a sale or something going on, so I jumped on really quick,” Michael says. 

A lot of people wonder “what’s the catch?” when it comes to Mint. But as Michael’s experience over the past 2 years has shown, there isn’t one. “I’ve been with Mint for 2 years now and it’s been amazing,” he says. “Best thing that ever happened. Best thing that ever happened to me was Mint.” 

From getting premium wireless at an affordable price ($15/mo for new customers) to being able to buy wireless in bulk, there’s a lot to love when you make the switch.

Getting off of his parents’ phone plan has had benefits of its own. Now that he’s flying solo, Michael can do things his own way. For example, even though bringing your phone over to Mint is easy, Michael knew he wanted to get a new device.“

When I signed up for Mint, I knew I could bring my own phone, but it was a very bad phone,” Michael says. “So I used one of their deals to get a new phone, as well as start their service.”

It also allowed him to choose the data that’s right for him. In Michael’s case, it’s an Unlimited plan.

“I’m traveling a lot, and I don’t want to run out of data wherever I am,” Michael explains.

“No matter where I go, my service has been great, and I haven’t had a problem with it,” he adds. “I love it.”

It makes sense — we run on the nation’s largest 5G network, which provides 5G and 4G LTE to 98% of Americans, which means Mint Mobile’s coverage is pretty foxing good. But you can always check out our coverage for yourself.

Despite all of our features and benefits, Michael finds that his bill is much, much lower than the rest of his friends’ and family members’ wireless bills.

“My favorite thing about being on Mint is I pay way less than all my family and friends, and I have the same quality of service,” Michael says.
