If you’re looking to save a few dollars each month, switching to a new cell phone plan can help. Nowadays, many major carriers are offering perks to people who switch that can help you cut your monthly expenses. However, you can save even more by opting to prepaid cell phone plans. Though these require an upfront payment, they can slash your cell phone bill by hundreds a year — a boon to your budget, now that everything else seems to be going up in price these days. We’ve spotted this Mint Mobile deal that offers its unlimited plan for just $15 per month for 12 months. This deal is live until Sept. 13 until 11:59 p.m. PT.
This deal provides 5G and 4G LTE coverage and saves you 50% over the regular price of $30 per month for this cell phone plan.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
To switch to this Mint Mobile plan, all you need to do is is choose Mint’s Unlimited Plan, decide whether or not you want a regular SIM card or an eSIM. If you already have an eSIM on your phone, you can get coverage from Mint Mobile if your phone is compatible.
Finally, you’ll have to pay for the entire 12 months of service upfront, which amounts to $180. This plan’s $15 per month price is only for the initial period and it will renew at the regular price of $30 per month. Taxes and other fees are extra, but even then you’ll still save hundreds over other competing plans. Note, however, that those who use over 35GB of data per month might experience lower speeds, and video streams are 480p resolution.
