![]() People that already own unlocked, 5G-capable phones may be able to bring their phones to Mint. As of December 1, 2020, Mint offers 16 devices in its online store: Apple Phones compatible with Mint’s 5GĪ handful of phones are compatible with Mint Mobile’s 5G service. I expect Mint will update its map to offer more details about 5G coverage once T-Mobile is further along in its 5G deployments. For the time being, the vast majority of Mint Mobile subscribers shouldn’t expect millimeter wave coverage regularly.Ĭurrently, Mint does not distinguish between different 5G technologies on its coverage map. In the cities where millimeter wave 5G is offered, only tiny portions of the cities have coverage. T-Mobile only offers millimeter wave 5G in seven cities. As a result, I expect mid-band 5G coverage from Mint will be available to at least 100 million Americans by the end of 2020. T-Mobile is quickly scaling up mid-band 5G. While low-band 5G doesn’t deliver exceptional speeds, Mint’s low-band 5G coverage is available to well over 200 million Americans. ![]() While Mint Mobile’s host network, T-Mobile, is deploying all three types of 5G, T-Mobile has relied primarily on low-band 5G so far. Millimeter wave signals don’t travel far and struggle to penetrate objects like trees and walls. Millimeter wave 5G delivers outstanding speeds, but it is horrible from a coverage perspective. Millimeter wave 5G: Millimeter-wave 5G uses extremely high-frequency signals.Mid-band 5G offers a combination of solid speeds and decent coverage potential. Mid-band 5G: Mid-band 5G uses medium-frequency signals.Low-band 5G is not much faster than traditional 4G service. Low-band 5G: Low-band 5G uses low-frequency signals that are great at covering large areas.Mint’s 5G services can be split into three buckets: After entering a location, you can see which cellular technologies are available: You can check whether Mint Mobile offers 5G service at your location with the help of Mint Mobile’s interactive coverage tool. More than a dozen 5G phones are available in Mint’s online store. To take advantage of Mint Mobile’s 5G coverage, a Mint subscriber must have a 5G-capable phone. Mint’s 5G service runs over T-Mobile’s 5G network, which currently leads the nation in availability. Mint Mobile offers 5G service to its subscribers at no extra cost.
