Let the easy-peasy begin

Switch to Mint in a few easy steps.

  1. 1. Check coverage in your area

    We run on the nation's largest 5G network, covering 98% of Americans with 5G and 99% with 4G LTE—so you're likely in the clear. Check out our coverage map.

  2. 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. 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 Number Transfer PIN or PIN (varies by carrier) 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. 4. Select the right Mint plan for you

    Pick a 6GB, 17GB, 23GB, or Unlimited plan. Start with 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 is right for you? You can take our quiz to find out. Have 2 or more lines? Check out our Family Plan.

  5. 5. Choose your preferred SIM option

    Get instant activation with digital eSIM delivery or a physical SIM card mailed to you. Some new phone models are eSIM-only, so check eSIM compatibility.

  6. 6. Activate your phone plan

    Hop onto the Mint Mobile app or website and use our step-by-step instructions to quickly activate your eSIM or physical SIM. This is also where you'll transfer your phone number, or get a new one.

    FYI:

    Activating a family plan? Start by activating the Primary account holder first, then do the rest. You can always update this later.

  7. 7. Welcome to Mint Mobile

    Cue the confetti – you've officially switched to Mint…Time to put your feet up and watch the savings roll in.
