Our takeEditorialRegular 3-month rate is $25/mo for 20 GB — good value on T-Mobile. The $20 intro is 3 months only; the $45 standard rate is the one to avoid.

Our review
Mint Mobile's 20 GB plan leads with a $20/mo intro rate for new customers' first 3 months ($60 upfront).
The Broadband Facts label shows intro $25/mo and regular $45/mo — the $20 is a new-customer teaser, not the ongoing price. After the intro period, the regular 3-month rate is $25/mo and the standard monthly rate is $45/mo. The plan runs on T-Mobile's 5G and LTE network, includes 20 GB of high-speed data with hotspot from the same bucket, drops to 128 kbps after the cap, and includes free calling to Mexico, Canada, and the UK.
Taxes and fees are not included. Single-line only, prepaid multi-month upfront billing. At $25/mo for the regular 3-month rate, this is one of Mint's more price-efficient tiers for the data you get.
What we love
- Strong intro price at $20/mo for new customers' first 3 months. Regular 3-month rate of $25/mo is reasonable for 20 GB. Hotspot included from the 20 GB pool. Free calling to Mexico, Canada, and the UK. T-Mobile 5G and LTE access. No contract, no AutoPay required.
What we don't
- Intro $20/mo is for new customers only, first 3 months. Standard rate is $45/mo. After 20 GB, data drops to 128 kbps — a severe floor. Hotspot shares the 20 GB pool. Taxes and fees not included. Single-line only. Prepaid upfront billing model.
