Is Mint Mobile good in Hawaii?

Your flight’s booked, the boat tour’s scheduled and you’re practicing your hula moves for the big luau night. Or you might just be a kamaʻāina, aka a full-time resident in Hawaii, saving up so you can open the food truck of your dreams. Either way, you’ll need wireless service that can keep you connected up and down the islands at kamaʻāina price (aka a discount given to locals with a Hawaiian I.D. card).

So, is Mint Mobile good in Hawaii? Obviously, we think we’re pretty good. But this blog will explain why we make the most sense for the millions of visitors to Hawaii each year and for savvy shopping residents. Either way, we’ve got some plans that will have you saying “mahalo”. 

Why Mint Mobile & Hawaii go together like sun and surf

Every Mint Mobile plan includes features that are nice to have anywhere in the country, but they’re especially handy in Hawaii. 

Unlimited talk & text

No limit on minutes or text messages means you can go back & forth with friends, trying to decide which beach to check out first. 

Free calling to Mexico, Canada & The UK

Free calls to Canada (in addition to our low international calling rates) means you can also go back and forth with friends in Toronto, trying to convince them to escape their winter and visit a tropical paradise with you.

Free Wi-Fi Calling

That friend whose hotel you never get a signal at? You can be sipping mai tais at the pool and still be reachable with free Wi-Fi Calling. 

Free mobile hotspot

Stay connected so you can keep working on your travel review vlogs of the top ten hikes in Hawaii without missing a notification thanks to free mobile hotspot. (20GB mobile hotspot on unlimited plans.)

Free scam protection

Our Scam Screener feature lets you know when an incoming call is coming from someone sketchy who intends to take advantage of you. You might be a tourist, but you’re no kook. 

International roaming when you need it

And if you ever get a little island fever, international roaming is easy and affordable with a Minternational Pass.

These features are included with all Mint plans, including Mint 55+, our phone plan for seniors. So if you’re looking forward to retiring in a Hawaiian bungalow,  Mint 55+ may just be the perfect fit.

Does Mint have the best cell phone plans in Hawaii?

Again, we think our plans are the best—but we are very biased. What we can say, is we offer premium wireless starting at $15/month*. We’ve also got:

• Buy-in-bulk savings
  • No membership card required to get a year’s worth of wireless. With Mint, you buy wireless 3, 6 or 12 months at a time—and just like with those big box stores, the more you buy, the more you save.
• Flexible data options
  • Whether you’re a homebody who uses Wi-Fi 24/7 or you spend most days on the road streaming your favorite podcasts, we’ve got the GB you need. And if your data needs ever change, it’s easy to move up to a bigger plan (or go down to a lower plan when it’s time to renew).  
• We’re extremely online
  • And by that, we mean we do everything via our website. We don’t have retail stores, and we don’t have salespeople. We just deliver huge savings directly to you.  
• Award-winning customer care
  • That one doesn’t really need explaining right? Our Customer Care Team is so good at taking care of our subscribers, with a 97% customer satisfaction rating and an average hold time of under two minutes,** that they’ve actually been awarded for it. 
• No gimmicks, just great service
  • One thing that makes us stand out in the land of entertainment, is that we don’t have any gimmicks. We just offer quality wireless service at an affordable price.

Does Mint have the best cell phone coverage in Hawaii? 

To be fair, “best” is subjective, but Mint Mobile does run on the nation’s largest 5G network, which provides 5G coverage to 98% of Americans and 4G LTE coverage to 99% of Americans.*** FYI: Hawaii’s rugged, mountainous terrain and dense tropical forests can block cell towers and signals, making it difficult to get high-speed coverage everywhere on the islands. So, the quality of your coverage may depend on your specific location. 

Hang loose knowing you’re covered by Mint  

So… is Mint Mobile good in Hawaii? With our nationwide coverage and included features, we think it’s obvious to say aloha to overpaying on wireless, and aloha to saving with Mint.  And as you might have guessed, we feel the same way about California, Arizona, New York, and Texas. Now, you might be asking “what’s the catch with Mint Mobile?” and wouldn’t you know it, we have an answer for that too. We know offering premium wireless for less than the cost of a good pair of boots (with the fur) seems low, low, low but we can assure you, Mint Mobile is worth it. Or, if you’re in the mood for some spicy trash talk, you can also check out the bad things about Mint Mobile. When you’re ready to make the switch, take our short quiz and we’ll pair you with your perfect plan, on this or any coast.
