How To Switch To Mint Mobile
With our step-by-step guide, it's super simple...as in you'll be saving huge on wireless in no time.
Let the easy-peasy begin
Switch to Mint in a few easy steps.
1. Check coverage in your area
We run on the nation’s largest 5G network, so you’re most likely in the clear…but check out our coverage map to make sure.
2. Bring your phone to Mint
As long as your phone is compatible and unlocked, you can totally bring it over to Mint. Just use our compatibility checker to find out.
3. Keep your current number
Your number is more than welcome at Mint. Just be sure to have your billing zip code, account number and pin or number transfer pin from your current carrier. Learn more about bringing your number to Mint.
Important:
Don’t cancel with your current carrier until after Mint activation is complete.
4. Select the right Mint plan for you
Choose from our 5GB, 15GB, 20GB, or UNLTD data plans. You’ll start for 3 months at our lowest price, then renew for 3, 6, or 12 months (the more months you buy, the more you save). Not sure which plan to pick? Take our quiz to find out.
5. Choose your preferred SIM option
It’s between a physical SIM card we send you, or instant activation with eSIM. Physical SIM cards work on most phones, but eSIM only works on certain models. Check eSIM compatibility.
6. Activate your phone plan
Hop onto the Mint Mobile app or website and use our step-by-step instructions to quickly activate your physical SIM or eSIM. This is also where you’ll transfer your phone number, or get a new one.
FYI:
When transferring multiple lines to Mint, activate them one by one and make sure to activate the primary account holder’s line last to avoid any disruptions to your account or service.
