T-Mobile is following AT&T’s playbook with Mint’s new bundled plans

Last week, AT&T announced its new OneConnect plan, giving users a way to get home Internet and mobile phone access under one unified plan. Now, T-Mobile’s sub-brand Mint is also following suit With a bundle of its own. While AT&T’s solution combines fiber home access with the AT&T mobile network, Mint’s “Unf*! Your Bills” plan combines its existing mobile service with its MINTernet 5G home internet service for just $45 per month.

While this plan is obviously a lot cheaper than the $90 per line you pay for AT&T OneConnect Individual, the big difference is that 5G home internet is nowhere near the same league as fiber. That said, the mobile service is actually quite similar. AT&T includes low-priority unlimited basic data, which is essentially the same level of service you’ll get from Mint’s unlimited plan, except it’ll obviously run on the T-Mobile network.

As you might guess, Mint’s plan has some flaws. First, you’ll have to pay for a full year upfront, which isn’t exactly a small ask at $540, though it might be perfect for those who haven’t used any leftover cash from their tax refund yet. The plan also only includes one mobile line, although you will be able to add a second line for $15. However, there is no mention of additional lines beyond this.

While we really feel like this plan would benefit from paying less quarterly, it’s still a pretty solid deal if you live in an area with excellent T-Mobile 5G coverage and you don’t mind lower priority service for mobile. The good news is that Mint’s online home internet is largely comparable to T-Mobile 5G, although there may be slight preferences from time to time.
