Finding a Mint Mobile deal or Mint Mobile coupon has never really been a hard task. The MVNO carrier loves to have some fun with promotions, and we like to keep track of them. There are quite a few options when it comes to carriers for your smartphone, and odds are you're shopping around for the best deal. Postpaid plans are a good option for some, but prepaid plans get you the lowest price, as long as you're willing to put your money down first.

Mint Mobile is an alternative carrier that uses T-Mobile's 5G and 4G LTE network to bring you great coverage at an even more affordable price. In the past, going prepaid with an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) often meant that you sacrificed a lot when it came to your plan, but that isn't the case anymore. With Mint Mobile you can pick data allotments of 2GB, 5GB, or even 10GB, depending on your usage habits, and all of the plans come with unlimited talk and text as well.

3 months free with any 3-month plan | from $15 per month

Mint Mobile's holiday sale is making it even more affordable to become a customer there. Through January 2, you can score three whole months of service there for free when you purchase any 3-month plan. Mint Mobile's plans start at just $15 per month for its 3GB data plan with unlimited talk and text, though the best plan costs just $30 monthly for unlimited data, talk, and text on 5G or 4G LTE — whichever is strongest in your area at the time.

With these 3-month plans, you do need to pay for the entire three months up-front. After your six months of service have passed (including the three months you'll score for free), Mint Mobile gives you the option to renew again for 3, 6, or 12 months. Choosing a 12-month renewal plan will be the most affordable way to renew, so you'll want to keep that in mind when the time comes.
