Mint Mobile payment FAQ
What taxes and fees does Mint Mobile add to a plan?
Your total is the plan price plus a Recovery Fee, which Mint charges to cover the cost of federal and state programs, and the telecom taxes for your ZIP code. A physical SIM adds shipping, which an eSIM avoids. New York customers also pay a Public Safety Communications Surcharge.
How do I renew my Mint Mobile plan?
Renew in the Mint Mobile app under My Plan, or on the website under Manage Plan, after checking a card is saved under Payment Method. Mint texts and emails your renewal date 30 days ahead. Renew or turn on Auto Renewal before the plan period ends, or service pauses.
Can I finance a phone from Mint Mobile?
Yes. Eligible customers can split the cost of a new phone into monthly payments through Affirm by choosing it at checkout. Paying the full price upfront is always an option.
What is the Mint Mobile Wallet?
It stores credit for your Mint service. You load $5, $10 or $20 in the app under Menu, then Payment, or on the website under Load Wallet, and the balance does not expire. Wallet funds pay for data add-ons, Minternational Passes, Device Protection, MinTech Advisor and international calls.
Where can I see my Mint Mobile payments?
