Do you want to save money on
your phone plan?
I'm going to show you exactly
how you can reduce your phone
bill to only $15 per month.
The average American spends
$127 per month on just their
cell phone bill.
So if you were able to reduce
your phone bill to only $15,
that means you would be saving
an extra $112 per month,
which equals $1344 per year
that you would be saving.
Do you know how nice a
vacation you could go on with
$1,300?
It would be pretty nice.

And we're going to dive right
in.
A little while ago,
I switched over to mint mobile
for my phone service provider,
and I have been enjoying their
service.
I haven't had any problems
whatsoever.
They offer plans that are
unlimited texts,
unlimited talk.
Plus you get a free hotspot
that's on all of their plans,
and then you can choose a plan
for your data amount.
I went with their smallest
plan,
which is four gigabytes.
That is plenty of data for me.
And that is $15 a month.
They have one for 10 gigabytes
a month at only $20.
So if you wanted to spend a
little bit extra,
just $5 more,
you could get a lot more data
and they have other plans
besides those two.
But I want to talk about the
$15 plan,
which is the one that I signed
up for.
And like I said,
I haven't had any problems
with their service and I am in
the greater salt lake area in
Utah,
and I wanted to test it out
one night.
So I went to a fireworks show
and there were a lot of people
there.
So I got on my phone to see
how quickly it would load any
type of data.
I did a search on the
internet.
I loaded it immediately.
I didn't see any difference
from my phone plan before to
this new phone plan.
I also shazamed a few songs
because they had a band
playing and that worked just
fine.
So far I haven't seen any
difference between the Verizon
plan that I had before and the
new mint mobile plan that I
have now.
So I am planning on sticking
with them for the longterm and
saving a lot of money on my
phone plan.
And I was not paying $127 for
my phone before,
but I was paying $40.
I was on a family plan with
some of my friends and my
friend's family.
And she had sent me a message
saying that the rate was going
to go up because Verizon was
increasing their fees.
And I thought,
you know what,
now's the time to switch to
mint mobile and see if I like
it.
And that's exactly what I did.
And it was pretty simple to
switch over.
Another YouTuber that I follow
actually uses mint mobile.
So that's where I got the idea
from.
And I used a referral link.
So that will give me a credit
on the phone plan once I
signed up and gives the person
that referred me a credit on
their phone plan as well.
So if you are interested,
I will leave my referral link
below and you can click on
that to get set up with mint
mobile.
Once I clicked on the referral
link,
it took me to their website
and I entered my zip code to
make sure that they have
coverage in my area,
which they did.
And it looked great.
So make sure you have coverage
in your area and then you can
sign up for it.
But if they don't,
of course,
don't sign up for it.
Next you'll check to make sure
that your current phone is
compatible with mint mobile.
And I feel like most of them
are.
Mine is an iPhone,
which is totally compatible
with mint mobile.
You want to make sure that
your phone is unlocked,
or if you've had it over 60
days,
it most likely is going to be
unlocked.
Mine was,
I clicked on their three month
plan,
which is a trial.
So you try it out for three
months and then you can decide
if you want to renew and then
select a 12 month plan and
continue with $15 per month,
which is what I plan to do.
Or you can select a different
plan.
They have 3 months,
6 month,
or 12 month options.
I selected to have a physical
SIM card sent to my house
instead of doing the E-sim
card.
I don't know which one is
better,
but I just thought it would be
good to have that physical
card.
I signed up on a Sunday and
then received my physical card
that Thursday.
And I did make one mistake
when I was signing up.
So I don't want you to make
this mistake.
I thought that the pin that
they needed when I was signing
up in order to switch from
Verizon to mint mobile,
which is just the pin on the
account,
but it's actually a pin to
transfer your phone over.
So before you start trying to
transfer over your service,
make sure and call your
current phone service provider
and ask them to give you a
transfer code or a transfer
pin,
to be able to transfer your
phone over to a different
service provider.
And you can keep your same
phone number.
So once you have that,
and you have the account
number for your current
service provider,
and you'll want to make sure
with that pin code,
that you have the account
number for your current phone
service provider and the
billing zip code.
So if you were like me and
you're on some type of family
plan,
you're not the owner of the
account,
make sure and figure out those
details before you start
switching over your phone.
And since I did mess up,
when signing up for mint
mobile and entering the wrong
pin,
I ended up having to call mint
mobile while I was in the
process of switching my phone
over because of course the pin
didn't work.
And then when I got the
transfer pin and tried again,
it gave me an error message.
So I called mint mobile back
and they did it manually over
the phone.
So make sure you have all of
your information beforehand so
that you can enter it
correctly the first time and
not have any problems.
But the nice thing is when I
did call mint mobile,
they came on with a message
saying that they were going to
be pretty busy and it might
take awhile.
But honestly it was only a
couple of minutes maybe that I
had to wait.
And then I was able to talk to
a person and they were very
friendly and very helpful.
So for me,
that is really good to know
that they have good customer
service.
And when I told her the exact
situation,
she knew exactly how to handle
it.
And she told me that it might
take a little while for the
phone to transfer over to mint
mobile.
So they gave me a temporary
phone number,
but honestly,
while I was talking to her at
the very end of our phone
call,
before I hung up,
the phone ended up hanging up
on her because it had
transferred over so quickly.
So I did not get to tell her,
thank you for her help,
but I was glad that it
switched over so quickly.
And if you are able to sign up
online,
since you have all of the
information beforehand,
they're going to ask you for
your name and your zip code
and your phone number.
And if you want to keep your
current phone number or get a
new phone number,
and I definitely chose to keep
my current phone number,
they will also ask you if it
is a Verizon account or a
different phone provider.
And another thing they will
ask you is if it is a prepaid
plan that you are on or a
postpaid plan.
So make sure and figure out
that information beforehand as
well.
And the way mint mobile is
able to give such a discounted
rate on their phone plans is
because they utilize someone
else's cell phone towers.
I've heard that they utilize
T-Mobile's cell phone towers.
So if you currently have
T-Mobile and you like the
coverage that you get,
then you're most likely going
to like mint mobile as well.
I have heard that they are
expanding to use other cell
phone towers as well.
So I am assuming the coverage
will just get better and
better as it goes,
since they are partnering with
a major cell phone provider.
That means that mint mobile
will not take precedence over
the people that are going
directly with T-Mobile.
But apparently they have
enough bandwidth because it's
been completely fine for me,
but just be aware if you are
at a large gathering and a
concert or something,
and you want to use your data,
that your phone may be loading
a little bit slower than other
people's.
For me,
that's not really a big deal
because usually I'm enjoying
the concert or whatever
activity I'm at anyway.
So I don't want to be on my
phone.
And another great thing about
mint mobile is that when they
give you the four gigabytes of
data,
they're not going to charge
you for going over that
amount.
They will just slow down your
service.
And I really liked that.
I don't like seeing an extra
charge on my phone bill.
And like I said,
they do offer other plans.
So if you think four gigabytes
is not enough for you,
you can sign up for their $20
plan at that 10 gigabyte.
Or you can even go to $25 for
15 gigabytes,
or if you want to max out,
you can do $30 a month for
unlimited data.
And I bet you were paying more
than $30 right now for your
phone plan.
So you might as well try it
out.
You could start with the $15
and if you think you're going
to go over,
you could change to the
unlimited,
if you want to,
and still only be paying $30
instead of $127 for your phone
plan.
And if you are hesitant and
switching over to mint mobile,
then think about a different
way that you could reduce your
phone bill.
Could you get a few friends to
go in on a family plan and pay
less that way?
Could you get on a family plan
with your parents,
perhaps your parents are old
enough to get a senior
discount,
so you could sign up under
their plan,
or maybe you are on a plan
where you are not even using
everything that you are being
offered.
So you don't really need to
pay that high of an amount.
You could switch to a lower
plan.
And honestly,
a lot of people may not even
know about this,
but when you go into the
library or to the mall or
certain stores or certain
restaurants,
they have wifi that you can
connect to.
So you wouldn't even be using
data when you're at certain
places because you aren't
using data when you are
connected to wifi.
Comment below,
and tell me if you're going to
switch over to mint mobile,
I am curious to know and make
sure and use my referral link
in the description below,
because you'll be able to get
a discount on your phone plan
by doing so.
And yes,
of course,
I will get a kickback.
So you can use someone else's
referral link if you would
like to,
but just to make sure and
use one.
And when you sign up for mint
mobile,
they have you do a three month
trial.
So you will pay for the three
months all at once.
So you'll pay that $45 and
actually they'll add taxes and
fees like every single phone
service provider.
So mine came out to $51 and
45 cents,
which would be $17 and
15 cents a month for my phone
plan,
which is still way better than
what I was paying before.
But once you sign up for that
three month trial,
then you can decide which
phone plan you want to choose.
And if you sign up for a year
at a time,
then they give you that
discount of $15 per month.
If you want to go with that
lowest plan.
With inflation and the cost of
everything going up,
it's important that we take a
look at what we can control,
which are our expenses.
And especially those expenses
that we are paying the same
price for every single month.
So if we can lower just one of
those expenses,
our phone plan,
for example,
that is going to make a big
difference over the long term.
And speaking of reducing our
expenses,
I just did a video on how I
spend a hundred dollars a
month on food.
So I will leave a link above
and below,
make sure and check that one
out because we'll be able to
save money and then we can
invest that money and become
financially free,
even sooner.
