Does Mint Mobile allow you to upgrade to the Unlimited plan?

Best answer: Yes! You can upgrade your Mint Mobile account to the Unlimited plan (or any other higher-data plan) by paying the price difference. All you need to do is log into your account and follow the prompts. You can also set your subscription so the upgrade occurs when your current plan ends.

How to change your Mint Mobile plan

Is your current Mint Mobile plan just not enough anymore? It's a good thing that Mint Mobile makes it easy to upgrade to a higher-tier plan whenever you want, as long as you're okay with paying the difference in cost. You can get the needed data and sign up for the plan that best fits your needs.

Log into your Mint Mobile website or app account, open Account Management, or select Manage Plan at Mint Mobile's portal. Follow the prompts to make the change immediately effective. Mint Mobile will direct you to a Checkout page where you can pay for the difference between your old and upgraded plans. 

Unfortunately, you can't downgrade to a smaller plan mid-cycle, so if you need less data than you thought, you'll need to wait until your current term is up. If you need more data or months, switching immediately at the end of your current plan is possible. As mentioned above, Mint Mobile's plans come in three, six, and 12-month increments. 

Starting with a shorter term might be wise if you aren't sure how much data you'll use in a given month. It's important to know that you can't change the duration of your plan once it starts. If you need to choose another one, you'll need to wait until your current plan ends to do so. You can also set up a new plan duration to automatically renew when your current plan ends by logging into your account.

It's also worth noting that Mint's Unlimited plan slows after 40GB but doesn't end. If you think you'll use more than 40GB in a month, you might want to consider one of the other best MVNO carriers out there. What do you get with the Mint Mobile unlimited plan? You get unlimited talk and text (5G), Free calling to Canada and Mexico, a 10GB mobile hotspot, Wi-Fi calling, and instant plan activation.
