Really sad to see the got Mint.. Cheers for the people that profited, but I feel this is a more serious blow than the sprint takeover.

Check out US Mobile. They follow a similar ethos of prepaid plan, but you don't necessarily even need to sign up for months at a time like Mint.

I just switched to US Mobile and so far it looks very good. You can even choose between Verizon and GSM networks.

+1 for US Mobile. Very happy with them.

I don't know how long it will last, but Mint advised their rates were staying the same.

T-Mobile was the worst, most incompetent company I have had the displeasure of working with in recent years. I fled to Mint. To say I’m chuffed by that acquisition is an understatement.

Wait so are you really happy they got acquired? Or does chuffed mean something else in the states?

I think it was sarcasm...or just the word being misused.

I'm confused by this. You don't like T-Mobile, but you're happy you'll be returning?

Long ago I had a T-mobile prepaid plan that had the wrong caller ID info. They claimed it couldn't be fixed because it was prepaid and they were unable to properly manage those accounts. Mint has been much better and will remain cheaper for now.
