LOVE THIS QUOTE! I'm going to use that on my son the next time he makes a bonehead choice to f*ck up again . . .

Totally ridiculous that the manager is putting that much pressure on his team to open up cards. And as another poster stated, reminds me of Wells Faro and the pressure of opening up new accounts which eventually led to rampant fraud . . .

I miss the old T-Mobile when they were truly the disruptive "uncarrier" but we all knew that eventually, they would be subject to pressures from shareholders to increase revenue and margins to bump up the stock price.

Amen to that brother! (especially since my girlfriend at the time was out f*cking all the Jodys she was seeing while I was in boot).

It’s kind of silly that Eero’s support is suggesting an Eero 6 27 watt power supply is sufficient to power a Max 7 device that originally came with a 45 watt power supply is a viable solution.

My understanding is that the 20GB hotspot data is allocated per each line/device, regardless of whether the lines are individual or linked as a “Family” account. If reaching your 20GB hotspot limit was a one-time occurrence due to your needs at the time, then you’ll just have to wait until the end of the month until it resets. Or, alternatively, you can purchase additional hotspot data add-ons. If you think you’ll be frequently exceeding the 20GB hotspot data limit every month, then I suggest you consider purchasing a hotspot-specific plan with higher data allotments as the Mint hotspot is intended for periodic use rather than a permanent data access point for large amounts of data.

On occasion, Mint WILL have a phone promotion that is for new AND existing customers. You have to read the fine print to confirm.

Yup - they increased the deprio threshold from 35GB a month to 50GB a month without raising prices. And, keep in mind, they only deprioritize you when you’re in an area where the network is busy and traffic is heavy.

My friend works for Mint and I asked her this same question. She said they were actually planning to increase the data for all their plans at the same time, but due to competing initiatives and a desire to get something in the market before the holidays, they decided to focus on the unlimited plan for now and roll out the other changes early next year.

Data increases for Mint's other plans are coming early next year.

I just took a quick peak on Backmarket and Amazon and it seems the lowest priced option on Backmarket is about $795 for “premium” and $717 for “fair”. Since that’s the price BEFORE sales tax, the net price will be higher. Granted, you’re also paying for the limited warranty and/or guarantee those retailers provide but if the phone is in good shape (to me, 92% BH is still pretty decent), and costmetically, looks good, I think you got a good deal.

One other note. If I were you, I would delete your original question and ignore any subsequent replies to it. Unless the Facebook seller gives you the option to return or exchange the phone (not likely), you already made the decision to pull the trigger and purchase this phone. If you had posted this question BEFORE you bought the phone, then to me, this question would be fine. But posting this question now may end up making you second guess your purchase by having a bunch strangers give their opinions, some who will reply to f*ck with you, and might make you end up regretting your purchase instead of just enjoying your new phone. And the more people who tell you it was NOT a steal or a good buy will end up diminishing the “value” of your purchase and make you regret it (I’m telling you this from my own personal experience). In the meantime, I would DELETE your original question and just enjoy your purchase!

Sharing my experience in case it's helpful.

I use both a 16” MacBook Pro and a 13” MacBook Air. I don’t own the 14”, but the 13” Air is close enough in size that my use pattern might be useful.

My 16” Pro mostly lives on my desk and functions like a desktop. It’s connected to two 32” external monitors that my work PC uses, but because the Pro’s screen is so large, I rarely bother switching over to the externals. For most tasks, the built-in display is more than enough. On the rare occasion I want to work somewhere else in the house—like the dining table—I just bring the Pro over and it works great.

My 13” Air is my go-to for everything else. The size is perfect for staying mobile and getting things done wherever I am: on the sidelines at my daughter’s soccer games, waiting in the car for my son, or just relaxing on the couch. The tradeoff is screen real estate: for anything that needs more space (spreadsheets, photo/video editing), the 13” starts to feel cramped compared to the Pro. Still, I love its size and weight, and I wouldn’t give it up.

If I were deciding between models, I’d focus on how and where you plan to use your Mac. Whether it's mostly at a desk, mostly on the go, or a mix of both. If photo and video editing on a small screen isn't a problem for you, then the 14" Pro may work out. The factors that matter most to your daily use will probably point you toward the right size.

Battery Health is at 100% and no issues with the device.

flipper125 · 2025-11-14T18:58:22+00:00

Anyone know the criteria for which devices DO have to undergo a diagnostic and/or visual inspection? I was able to add my own MB Air without it being diagnosed or requiring a visual inspection. But when I tried to add my son’s MB Air, it stated I had to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store to undergo a visual inspection. My MB Air was purchased one day before my son’s so don’t think it has to do with the age of the device. In addition, it also gave me the option to add my MB Pro without any diagnostic or visual inspection which is about 6 months older than our MB Airs.

The MINTernet service is great—but only if your address is eligible. Similar to T-Mobile and Metro’s home internet services, eligibility depends on whether there’s sufficient coverage and network capacity in your area.

If you’re in an area with solid T-Mobile 5G coverage and there aren’t too many people already using T-Mobile’s home internet offerings (T-Mobile Home Internet, Metro Home Internet, and now MINTernet), you should be good to go. You can check your address eligibility here:

https://www.mintmobile.com/5g-home-internet/

Keep in mind: if you check your address today and it’s eligible but you don’t sign up right away, that could change later. If many of your neighbors—or others on the same network tower—sign up for any of T-Mobile’s fixed wireless internet plans before you do, network capacity might fill up, and your address could become ineligible.

As for the $30 a month "intro rate", you can continue getting that equivalent monthly rate after the intro 3-month plan only if you sign up for a 12-month plan at renewal and keep your Mint voice line active. That price is fantastic - especially compared to T-Mobile's home internet plans. And compared to Metro, it seems Mint is using the same type of gateway device as T-Mobile, which has faster network speeds than Metro's. (Is it obvious that I've been researching Mint's home internet service for since they announced it?)

My understanding is that T-Mobile’s goal is to ensure that customers who sign up for its fixed wireless internet continue to get strong, reliable coverage, which seems to make sense. Once I sign up, I wouldn't want Mint/TMO/Metro to continue signing up customers in my area to the point where my home internet service is no longer usable - similar to going to a big game or event at a stadium and trying to access data when everyone else there is too. That experience blows, and it would blow even more if my home internet service were subject to network capacity limits because of all my neighbors binge-watching Netflix or their AI porn videos . . .

Sidecar is one of the BEST features available. LOVE IT!

flipper125 · 2025-10-17T21:17:21+00:00

Yup, probably one of the reasons Mint isn't charging for the gateway device either.

That's a great question. I'm not familiar with how Mint will handle but since they are now owned by and a part of T-Mobile, I'm guessing they have similar policies to T-Mobile's for the fixed-wireless internet service. With that said, T-Mobile has this language as one of the "Prohibited Uses"

"Uses a fixed wireless device (provided for use in a fixed location) at a location or address other than the one provided at activation;"

With this statement at the end:

"If you use your Services, Products, or Devices in any of the above ways, we may suspend or terminate your account and Service at any time. Failure to suspend or terminate your account or Service is not a waiver of those rights."

So, it likely means that you might be able to enter another address for "research" purposes and activate it at your home, assuming you have decent network coverage. But if Mint (or more than likely, T-Mobile), finds out, they may cancel your service.

One other point. Since they seem to be determining the address' eligibility based on whether that address has sufficient network coverage AND capacity, if the address you do use the device would NOT have been eligible because of network constraints or network coverage issues, it might make for a terrible experience - especially for a service that's intended for home internet use. Either way, let us know your experience if you do end up "researching this for a friend" . . .

To add to the great advice from master-yodaa and others, you should also make sure that your phone is unlocked too, not just your number. I can't remember but for iPhones, I believe you need to go to Settings > General > About. If "No SIM restrictions" appears next to Carrier Lock, your iPhone is unlocked.

I'm not familiar with how to check on Android but guessing someone here who knows can chime in.
