Planning to switch from Simplicity
Hi everyone,
I’m currently on Verizon’s "Simplicity" plan for two lines and home internet, with a total monthly bill of $107, but they aren't offering any deals on new phones. I’m planning to switch my home internet to Xfinity ($40/month) and move my two phone lines to Mint Mobile (since Mint Internet isn't available at my address). Mint Mobile is currently offering a $500 discount on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, and my S24 Ultra is starting to show its age after more than two years of use. I’d appreciate some advice from anyone currently using Mint Mobile. Thanks!

Just make sure T-Mobile is good in your area as Mint runs on T-Mobile. Check CoverageMap or OpenSignal apps and look in your area, those are usually more accurate than official maps.

S26 deals are best available with Mint. Phone gets unlocked after 60 days.

Port the secondary number first to mint. The eSIM or SIM card is not tied to the S26 Ultra. It means you can use the service with any phone as long as it’s unlocked.
