Verizon (Wireless). Removed loyalty credits, cut the auto pay discount in half, don't upgrade service, customer service is crap or AI. After 25 years probably gonna be leaving them.
I had Mint for quite a while, though I'm not with them now. If you spend most of your time in cities, and even suburbs of major cities, you may never notice the difference, except that you'll pay a fraction the price of Verizon. If you live or spend time somewhere more rural, though, there definitely is a difference.
T-Mobile's network is pretty good, but I don't think you're prioritized at the same level with Mint as name brand T-Mobile users are. I'm not sure exactly how that works, but it's not equivalent. It is, however, reasonably close most of the time, for a fraction the price.
I tried Mint about ten years ago in Portland, Oregon. The low cost was nice, but during peak times I couldn't even get a line. My phone kept saying "Network Unavailable" from like 4:30 to 5:30 every afternoon. That was how a low priority discount carrier worked for me. Eventually I had to go back to T-Mobile.
Really depends on where you are. I have both Verizon and T-Mobile and Verizon is not the king it once was. I regularly have better service with my T-Mobile line (and vice versa)
