![]() Source: Ĭontrast that with T-Mobile's deal. You have to add credit to your account for international service, in $5, $10, or $20 increments. For roaming to Portugal, they charge $0.25 per minute for calls, $0.05 per text, and $0.20 per megabyte of data. Next, I looked at Mint's website for their international terms. Mint is cheaper, but has some limits on data use. Second, does Mint have a better deal for YOUR domestic needs than T-Mobile does? I have T-Mobile's Unlimited 55+ (only available to those 55 and over), where I get two lines with unlimited talk, text, and data for $80 per month. T-Mobile has done fine for me and my mother, however, where we live and work. ![]() It costs more, but for her it's worth it to have reliable service. So, the first question you have to answer is, does T-Mobile provide good service where you live, work, etc? For instance, my sister had poor service at home and no service in her office with T-Mobile, but has done much better with Verizon. In the US, Mint uses the T-Mobile network. This option is usually buried in the Connection settings. ![]() For instance, if your phone in Portugal is connecting to MEO and you're not getting good service on it, try changing it to Vodafone. And (a tip I learned on this board), while your phone will usually auto-select a provider in Europe, sometimes you get better service if you manually change it. So, it's totally possible for Mint (or any other US carrier) to actually have better service in Portugal than they do in the US. Instead, they partner with a local Portuguese provider. No US carrier directly provides service in Portugal.
