Mint Mobile's own plan page lists a minimum upfront payment of $45 for a 3-month plan (6GB, equivalent to $15/month), and AP's 2025 report that Mint plans run from $15 to $30 a month is consistent with that.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. Mint Mobile's 3-month plans page states a minimum upfront payment of $45 for a 3-month 6GB plan (equivalent to $15/month).[2]

Supports. AP reports that Mint advertises plans ranging from $15 to $30 a month, consistent with a $45 three-month minimum for the entry plan.[1]

Context. The same Mint page lists a $90 upfront payment for a 3-month Unlimited plan, so the $45 figure applies to the 6GB plan rather than every plan.[2]
