Say yes to no more phone bills for a year: Hear from people who’ve done it, and learn how you can, too

No one enjoys receiving a bill in the mail. We all know the sinking feeling when you open your mailbox or inbox to find one waiting for you. So what if you could go a whole year without one? It’s totally possible…at least for your phone bill. How? Let’s dive in below as we cover what it’s like to live the no-bill chill life with Mint Mobile and have no more phone bills for a year. 

You Only Pay Once (YOPO)

One of the major advantages of paying for a year of wireless service up-front is not having to pay for wireless service again for a whole year. It’s called YOPO, or you only pay once. It’s like YOLO’s cooler cousin. Imagine not having to factor a phone bill into your monthly budget, like groceries or health insurance, so that it’s just one less thing to worry about. It’s wireless stress relief—you just set it and forget it.

But don’t take our word about YOPO. Take some real Mint customers’ words for it instead: 

• “I pay for 1 yr (of phone service) at a time and I LOVE not having a bill every month and the price is amazing!” – Dennis W.

• “I love that I was able to pay for my whole plan for a year so I don’t have to think about a monthly bill.” – Julie V. 

• “Mint is so easy. Paid a year in advance, so no monthly bills.” – Julie R. 

• “Pay it once and no need to worry about monthly charges.” – Jerry H.

Lock in your price 

Another big benefit of paying annually is locking in the price you paid at the beginning of the year. You can tell price hikes to take a hike, since you paid ahead of time for the whole year. And while we haven’t raised the rates on any of our plans since launching in 2016, there’s still peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ve locked in the best price, especially if it’s during a promotion. 

Are there any disadvantages to paying your phone bill once a year? 

While living the no-bill chill life is, well, chill, we totally get that paying a lump sum upfront instead of incremental amounts over time can be challenging for some. But with the ability to buy wireless in bulk, the more you buy, the more you save. For example, you could enjoy 12 months of 5GB for an upfront payment of $180*. 

Or, as Mint subscriber Robert W. puts it: “Saving to pay 12 months at a time requires some startup planning, but then it is literally ‘no bill and chill.’ Highly recommended.”
