FAQ’s
Why and How to Become a Mint Mobile Customer?
Mint Mobile is an American mobile network operator company that attracts many customers with affordable prepaid phone plans, amazing cell phone deals, nationwide coverage, a convenient Bring Your Own Phone program that enables customers to bring their own unlocked compatible devices, reliable customer support services, and much more.
To enjoy all of these benefits and more, you must become a Mint customer. To do so, you can visit the company’s store in your area or their website at mintmobile.com. Purchase a new Mint phone or bring your own device and sign up for a plan that best fits your needs.
Once you do so, you will get an active account and the provider will send you the ordered phone or BYOP SIM card kit to your address. Make sure to charge the phone and turn it off. Locate the phone’s SIM card slot and carefully insert the Mint SIM card into the device. Close the SIM slot and turn on the phone.
To activate the device, go to my.mintmobile.com/activation, enter the 11-digit ACT code located on the back of your SIM card (or in your email if you have an eSIM), and press ‘Get Started’. Follow the on-screen prompts and when the device is successfully activated, expect to receive a text confirmation.
Then, make sure to test your network and connection. If you have a good signal, smooth picture messaging, and high data speeds, you’re all set. If not, you may want to configure your Mint APN settings.
What are APN Settings?
Access Point Names (or APN) are configuration settings needed by every mobile device to connect to a carrier’s network and towers. Having the right APN settings is vital, as it can improve your internet or data speeds, signal strength, connection quality, picture messaging, etc.
Every wireless provider (including Mint Mobile) has its own APN settings that enable the company’s phone to connect to the company’s networks and services. Most phones, especially if purchased directly from your service provider already have the best APN settings that enable customers to get the best connection. However, some BYOP devices may have different settings and may not automatically detect the network settings needed to get the most out of the provider’s service. Therefore, you must check your phone’s APN settings and configure them, if necessary.
