  • So, old post was removed. So until I get some resolution I would like this one to stay open.
    It's probably confusing because from mintmobile.com there is no "forgot password" choice, just login and login with SMS. Source: about 2 years ago
  • So, old post was removed. So until I get some resolution I would like this one to stay open.
    Since I am unable to log into mintmobile.com and get into my account through firefox, chrome, edge, and waterfox on three separate computers, I can discount the "bad sim" theory. Which leaves the account issue. I also mentioned in the comments of my previous post that I had to setup my voicemail again. Which as a former audix Admin I recognized from the time we had a complete hardware failure. I frankly don't care... Source: about 2 years ago

  • Caps on Hotspot usage? Wtf?
    A few days ago I spent 20-30 minutes with a chat agent on mintmobile.com . Mostly on hold while they checked with technical support; but they told me all plans except the "unlimited" plan have no hotspot/tethering limit; and that with the 4GB plan after I use the 4gb 'highspeed' I will continue to be able to hotspot at 128kbps 'unlimited' the remainder of the month...

  • Google Fi drops US Cellular as an official network, but service still accessible
    Google still lists network switching as a thing on the Google Fi home page: Https://fi.google.com/about. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Why eSim only is a terrible idea!
    I know it's not as cheap as your current carrier, but have you considered moving to Google Fi? They currently don't support 5G on iPhones, and they're probably a bit more expensive than your current plan. However you could just use the Flexible plan when you're mostly using WiFi and only upgrade to Unlimited Plus when you're traveling. In my experience, Google Fi has great support internationally and they allow... Source: over 1 year ago
  • T-Mobile will start charging a $35 fee on all new activations and upgrades
    I've been using Google Fi for many years and don't plan on switching. Since I don't like using my phone or use much data, this has been a good cheap plan to use over the years. https://fi.google.com/about/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Anyone using Google Fi for phone service?
    I have US Cellular and coverage is really spotty where I live, rural Penobscot County. Google Fi looks like a solid option, but I want to hear about how it works here before I take the plunge. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Study Abroad
    I use Google Fi https://fi.google.com/about/ Internationally and Domestically, it works in 200+ countries. Check and see if your existing phone qualifies also they give you a free SIM. Source: over 1 year ago
