Soon, Mint will be rolling out a new roaming price plan where, instead of putting any amount you want in your roaming wallet, now anytime you use your line while abroad it will charge minimim $10 for the day. On Twitter they told me in a DM that 80% of their customers prefer the following roaming pricing. According to their email:
1-day for $10 60 min / 60 SMS 1GB of high speed data
3-day for $20 200 min / 200 SMS Unlimited Data with 3GB of high speed data
7-day for $40 500 min / 500 SMS Unlimited Data with 10GB of high speed data
If you’re like me, and turn your US line on then off just to receive 2FA every once in a while, then this sucks. I just paid for a year of service and my roaming wallet with them just needed $10 top up every several months. Luckily, there are other options according to this recent post.
Just switched to Mint a month ago and I was already having some regrets while traveling. Looks like I’ll be making another switch in December. Google Fi maybe?
I heard Google Fi kicks you off after 6 months, iirc. I switched to Tello and am happy with it. Exactly what I needed and just 5 bucks/mo
