Mint Mobile’s annual unlimited plan is now 50% off for the first year

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-18 19:55:32

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR For a limited time, you can get Mint Mobile’s Unlimited plan for 50% off. You’ll have to pay $180 upfront, but that works out to just $15 a month. Overall, this is a solid deal, but there are a few drawbacks, like lower network priority and no in-store customer service. Mint Mobile is known for its annual plans that offer access to T-Mobile’s network at a fraction of the price of postpaid, but its latest promotion is on a whole other level. The T-Mo

The T-Mobile Essentials Saver plan offers unlimited data usage and includes 50GB of "Premium" data, which is the fastest-capable 5G rate available in your area. After 50GB, speeds are reduced to 3G levels for the remainder of the month. However, that Premium may not always be so premium: T-Mobile notes in the fine print that "Essentials customers may notice speeds lower than other customers and further reduction if using >50GB/month, due to data prioritization."

Don’t be duped: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s cheapest plans aren’t worth it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Recently, my cousin asked me whether Verizon’s myPlan Unlimited Welcome was better than his legacy plan, prompted by a promotional email he received. At first glance, the new plan looked cheaper and similar in features. But upon closer examination, his legacy plan had notable advantages, especially higher-priority data and a few other perks.

Could 5G Home Internet Be Your Household Broadband Solution?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-24 04:00:00

For most Americans, internet service providers are a constant source of stress and notoriously one of the country's lowest-rated industries. ISPs rank lower than social media, the US Postal Service and even airlines. It's not hard to see why. A recent CNET survey found 63% of Americans paid more for internet service last year than they had the year before.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Celero5G Tab is available for as low as $100 for existing customers, with a data line costing $20 a month. This is a simple, no-frills Android tablet that you can take anywhere with you for light work and entertainment, whether there's Wi-Fi or not.

T-Mobile’s US Cellular acquistion has been approved: What happened, and what’s next?

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The DOJ and FCC have both approved T-Mobile’s $4.4 billion acquisition of most of US Cellular, with no major conditions or safeguards imposed. T-Mobile will gain US Cellular’s customers, stores, and spectrum, while US Cellular will keep its towers and focus on leasing them out. Critics worry the merger could reduce competition, especially in rural areas, but US Cellular customers shouldn’t see immediate changes at least. Last year, T-Mobile announced plan

Both providers offer extensive wireless coverage in places where fiber and cable can't reach, making them a top option for rural communities.
