Have you tried reading your wireless bill lately? It kind of feels like deciphering some ancient document in a long-forgotten language. Surcharges, taxes, fees, and other costs add up to a big chunk taken out of your wallet each month. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Mint Mobile was founded in 2015 as a low-cost alternative to the big cellular providers, and with Ryan Reynolds becoming a co-owner in 2019, it established itself as a solid contender, with reliable coverage, good speeds, and bargain-priced billing. A sale to T-Mobile in 2023 brought it under the corporate umbrella.
Right now, the company is offering a special half-price deal for new customers: service for $15 a month with a commitment as short as three months. This is one of the absolute best bargains in the smartphone space, delivering unlimited 4G and 5G data, talk, and text for the price of much lesser plans. The only caveat? You need to pay up front.

Want to know more about Mint? Check our rundown of the best cheap phone plans to see how it stacks up, but in general we like how it gives you access to T-Mobile’s massive network for a very low cost with very few restrictions. Activation is a breeze and customer service is reliable, although unlike larger carriers they don’t have physical stores that you can visit for service. Typically their basic plan runs you $30 a month, but this sale cuts that in half for the length of your initial commitment, up to one year.
