Is Mint Mobile good in Texas?

They say everything is bigger in Texas, but does that include 5G network coverage? Whether you call Texas home or you’re just passing through, staying connected in the second biggest state in the union is crucial—which means you need a signal that’s a bit more reliable than just banging on a trash can. So is Mint Mobile good in Texas? Well, we say yes, but we’re Mint Mobile, so we’re a tad biased. But we also have receipts, including testimonials from real Texas-based Mint subscribers. Read on to see why Mint Mobile is the right wireless choice for the Lone Star State. 

Mint Mobile in Texas: The features you need

Every Mint Mobile plan includes features that are valuable nationwide, but they’re especially nice to have in Texas.

Unlimited talk & text

No limit on minutes or text messages means you can go back & forth with friends & family arguing over what the Mavericks did wrong in overtime (or at the trade deadline).

Free calling to Mexico, Canada & The UK

Free calls to Mexico (in addition to our low international calling rates) means you have no excuse not to keep in touch with your friends & family in Monterrey.

Free Wi-Fi Calling

Stay connected even in the basement of the Alamo (as long as there’s Wi-Fi) with free Wi-Fi Calling. 

Free mobile hotspot

Get 5G connection on your other Wi-Fi enabled devices (like your laptop) so you can work from anywhere (like Daikin Park) thanks to free mobile hotspot. (10GB mobile hotspot on unlimited plans.)

Free scam protection

Our Scam Screener feature lets you know when an incoming call is coming from someone who’s fixin’ to take advantage of you.  

International roaming

And if you ever need a break from Texas (or you’re ready to visit those friends in Monterrey), international roaming is easy & affordable with a Minternational Pass.

Does Mint Mobile have the best cell phone plans in Texas?

We think our plans are the best—but again, we’re a bit 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 open road, 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 96% 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
  • People in Texas tend to not fall for gimmicks, so it’s a good thing we don’t have any. We just offer quality wireless service at an affordable price.

Does Mint Mobile have the best 5G coverage in Texas?

In all fairness, “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.*** And our 5G coverage extends over almost all of Texas, keeping you connected from the panhandle to the Gulf Coast, whether you’re camping in Big Bend, or live streaming from SXSW. And when you leave Texas, that coverage extends across the country. Take it from entrepreneur Richard Thiot in Dallas: “I sometimes drive for business to different cities, and 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.”

Mint Mobile reviews in Texas from real customers

We can talk about how great we are all day long, but let’s be honest: nothing we say will ever be as valuable as an honest review from an actual Mint subscriber. Fortunately, this ain’t our first rodeo, so we brought a few of our favorite reviews from Mint subscribers who either live in or have visited Texas since joining Mint:

“Mint Mobile works great anywhere I go in the RGV [south Texas]. I always have great signals. No dropped calls, internet always works, never lags…I give it a 10.” – Elezar M.

“I live in central Texas. There are a few low areas and, with the exception of one valley, I have no problem with my service. I have been telling everyone I know how great Mint is but people down here are TERRIFIED to try anything new. I’ll keep trying because I think you guys are worth it!” – James W.

“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.” – Richard

The potential savings are big & bright
