I'm currently using Xfinity Mobile. I'm looking to with, they are $45 for unlimited, but I haven't been overly happy with the service. I was going to try Mint mobile, but they screwed up getting me out a sim kit, so lost my confidence. I am looking to get like a 10-15gb data plan if it can be cheaper than what I am paying now.
 
I've had Mint for a while and have saved a mint!

Not exactly sure what you mean by losing your confidence after not getting a sim kit sent out to you. Mistakes are part of the human condition and are a part of life. Go ahead and ask for another SIM kit.

No harm in trying the 3 month trial which will run you $20-$25 per month for 10 or 15 GB per month. If you are not happy with the service, then towards the end of your 3 month intro rate, change to a different carrier. Mint uses the T-mobile back bone.

I am so tempted ... Mint Mobile - uses T-Mobile's network apparently and .... For 6 months I could pay almost what I pay for 1 month of Verizon Wireless. Because I work at home and rarely go out (I'm lucky if I use 1.5GB on Verizon Wireless) .... it's becoming more and more tempting.

Based on quick calculations, I'd save $1324.44 a year with my 3 lines. Dang.

You mentioned not liking your Xfinity service so I’d steer clear of other Verizon MVNOs, their service may not be strong in your area. Mint uses T-Mobile and their pricing is great If you’re ok paying 3/6/12 months upfront. You could also try ATTs prepaid service which has their highest tier on sale for new customers that port in.

The beauty of prepaid is that you can very easily hop carriers until you find something that works. Good luck!
