If You’re Spending More Than $20/Month on Your Mobile Phone Plan, You’re Paying Too Much

[…]I had to wait about four days for it to complete. Will My Phone Work with Mint? Mint uses the T-Mobile GSM network, so if you have T-Mobile now, your phone will work with Mint as long as it is unlocked. AT&T also uses GSM, so those phones should work when unlocked. Verizon and Sprint use a different system, CDMA. However, most modern iPhones have both GSM and CDMA chips in them. If you want to be sure, use Mint Mobile’s website and enter your phone’s model. The Activation Process I’ll admit, I was kind of nervous during the activation […]

Verizon 5G Home Internet: The Good and the Bad. My Full Review in 2024

I don’t blame the cable company for that though; it’s just the nature of physical cables that they are prone to breakage if a tree knocks down a telephone pole, or whatever. And It takes time for the cable company to find the fault, and send a truck out to fix it. A few hours of downtime is pretty good. Another thing […]
