?To set Mint as the default line on iOS:
1. From the Home screen, navigate: Settings > Cellular
2. Tap Cellular Data and select the phone number you were given with the free trial (It’s selected when a checkmark is present)
3. Tap Default Voice Line (This option is only available when both the Physical SIM card and eSIM are activated) and select the phone number you were given with the free trial (It’s selected when a checkmark is present)
To set Mint as the default line on Android:
1. Go to Settings and tap on “Network & Internet” / “Wireless Networks” to set the correct network preferences
2. Open “SIM Cards” / “Dual SIM Settings”
3. At the top of this screen, you can see the two SIMs inside your smartphone and their status. The rest of the screen displays other Dual SIM settings, which can be grouped in sections like “Preferred SIM for” and General Settings on certain Android devices.
4. Select “Calls / Default Calling Line”
5. A menu should pop up, and you can decide which SIM card you want to use as the default line when you make a call. If you don’t choose a default card for this option, Android prompts you to choose the SIM every time you initiate a phone call.
How to set the default SIM for mobile data on Android:
In the Dual SIM Android settings, you must decide on the preferred SIM for connecting to the internet. Since you can only have one active data connection, you have to set a preferred SIM for cellular data or a default mobile data SIM card. Depending on your device, press on the option to change the default SIM to Mint Mobile’s eSIM. On the next screen, tap on a SIM to select it or confirm your choice by tapping Switch.
All you need is a credit card (for if you decide to get a full plan later), an email address and an unlocked, compatible phone. To check your phone’s compatibility, enter your phone model in our compatibility checker at the top of this page. Start your free trial by tapping “Try before you buy” in the Mint Mobile app. Learn more.
The free trial includes 250 minutes, 250 texts and 250MB of data (5G • 4G LTE) to use. Learn more.
Yes, the Mint Free Trial is absolutely free because it’d be weird if it wasn’t.
Nope. You can switch back to your current service at any time. Once you see for yourself that Mint works for you, you can upgrade to a full plan and bring your current phone number over, or keep the new one we gave you.
A valid credit card is required to activate your trial plan and set up your account. Your card will not be charged at all during the trial. If Mint works for you, simply buy a full plan using the card on file.
No, you’ll get a new number to use when you activate the Mint Free Trial. When you upgrade to a full plan, you can then transfer your current number or keep the new one you have received.
No, sorry. You can have one Mint Free Trial per customer.
Your phone needs to support 5G or 4G LTE and VoLTE, but we have an easy-to-use tool that allows you to check. To check your phone’s compatibility, enter your phone model in our compatibility checker at the top of this page.
If your phone supports eSIM (Electronic or embedded SIM that allows you to activate a cellular plan from your carrier without having to use a physical SIM), the Mint Free Trial can be activated immediately. If you need a physical SIM card, no problem, we’ll ship you one. Allow up to 2 days for that to ship.
During the trial period, you can make free international calls to Mexico and Canada, using the 250 minutes included in the trial. Once you get a Mint Mobile full plan (after the trial), you can make international calls to the rest of the world (rates apply).
Your trial period is over and it’s time to upgrade into a full plan. You can upgrade to a full plan right in the app.
