Mint Mobile
Value Carrier (MVNO)Overview
Mint Mobile is the king of budget unlimited plans. The catch: you prepay 3, 6, or 12 months upfront. The longer you commit, the cheaper it gets — as low as $15/mo for unlimited. Runs on T-Mobile's full network. It's the best deal in wireless if you're comfortable with the prepay model and don't need premium data priority.
Budget-conscious individuals, light to moderate data users, anyone comfortable prepaying
You need multi-line family plans, can't prepay in bulk, or need guaranteed speeds during congestion
