How Mint Mobile keeps this busy senior connected wherever he goes

Nowadays, many of us use our phones for everything from staying connected with family to getting things done, so it’s crucial to have a reliable wireless carrier that can keep up with your day. Such was the case with tech businessman Richard Thiot, from Dallas, TX.  

“The way they’ve laid it out is just amazing”

Richard appreciates efficiency as much as anybody, so the ease of switching to Mint made a great first impression.

“I’ve been with Mint for just over three years. The way that they’ve laid it out is just amazing compared to the other mobile carriers.”

Mint Mobile offers wireless in bulk, where the more months you buy in advance, the more money you save. Our new customer offer allows you to purchase three months of any plan for the lowest possible price. We have four plans to choose from, depending on your mobile data needs (because they all come with unlimited talk & text). Not sure how much data you need? Take our brief quiz and we’ll match you to the perfect plan.

“When I switched, I found that the service was completely comparable and I really didn’t give up anything to be a Mint Mobile customer.”

Once we find the right plan for you, switching is easy with our helpful blog, especially if you’re switching from AT&T or switching from Verizon. In addition to bringing your number, you can bring your own phone too (we call that BYOP for short). Keep your phone, keep your number… The only noticeable difference will be the extra savings in your bank account. 

“The coverage is with me all the way” 

Having a full social calendar, Richard needed a wireless plan that could keep up. Whether he’s at home or on the road, Mint keeps him connected on the nation’s largest 5G network. 

“The coverage is with me all the way. Recently, I just drove Route 66 on my way back home. Kind of went out of my way, but I had cellular coverage the whole route. It was great.”

In addition, all Mint Mobile plans come with free features that subscribers like Richard enjoy taking advantage of, including Wi-Fi Calling, mobile hotspot, international calling to Canada, Mexico & The UK, free roaming in Canada and Scam Screener, our feature that protects you from unwanted calls by letting you know if they’re likely a scam before you answer. 

“They’re looking out for you as a customer”

Beyond just quality service, Richard appreciates Mint’s customer-centric approach, strengthened by our award-winning Care team and beneficial Refer-a-Friend program.

 “(Mint Mobile is) very consumer minded. They’re looking out for you as a customer, and it’s a refreshing experience.” How refreshing exactly? 97% of subscribers who called our care line were “highly satisfied” with their care experience.* Whether you’re still in the process of switching or you’ve been with Mint for years and just want to make sure you’re getting the most out of your service, our Care team has you covered.

“It’s as much as you could ask for“

Ultimately, what Richard appreciates about Mint is that we provide premium wireless at an affordable price. 

“I think that you’ll find, as a Mint Mobile customer, your service is indistinguishable from other carriers. Your service is always there, it works, and it’s as much as you could ask for.”
