Hi, all. I called into Sprint today to pay off the remainder of my lease and buy out my phone. While doing so, I asked about the remainder of my coverage contract and was surprised to find out that I didn't have a contract. I feel silly because I could've been shopping this entire time, but haven't been. But, it's time to do that now, all the same.

​

Both Mint Mobile and Ultra Mobile are running deals right now. Mint is going $15/mo for 3 months (12gb) and I can re-up at 8gb for $20/mo with a 12-month contract. Ultra is giving 3gb for 6 months at $11/mo and I can re-up after that for $22/mo (I'd likely just switch to Mint Mobile at this point). Plus, Ultra has free international calling which could be advantageous since I'll be traveling for a couple weeks in early February.

​

Do any of you have experience with these carriers? What are your experiences? What frills would I be missing out on that allow for such discounted prices? Would you recommend other carriers?
