Shopping for a prepaid phone plan usually comes down to three questions: how much data do I get, how much do I pay, and how does that price change over time? Mint Mobile has built a loyal following by answering those questions with low, predictable rates, but it isn’t the only carrier doing that well. Infimobile’s current new-customer offer puts a very direct number on the table: 12GB of monthly data on Verizon’s network for as little as $7.50 a month, with a mobile hotspot allowance included and no step-up pricing as you commit to longer terms.
Let’s compare both carriers’ plans side by side, using the actual numbers, so you can see exactly where the better value sits.
Quick Comparison: Infimobile vs. Mint Mobile
Infimobile 12GB Plan (New Customers Only, Verizon Network)
| 12 months | $90 | $7.50/month |
| 24 months | $180 | $7.50/month |
| 36 months | $270 | $7.50/month |
Mint Mobile 6GB Plan
| 6 months | $10/month | $60 |
| 12 months | $15/month | $180 |
Right away, two things stand out. First, Infimobile’s price per month doesn’t change no matter which tenure you pick: $7.50/month is $7.50/month whether you commit for one year or three. Second, when you line the two carriers up at the one-year tenure, they share 12 months. Infimobile gives you double the monthly data (12GB vs. 6GB) for exactly half the total cost ($90 vs. $180).
Infimobile’s 12GB Plan: A Closer Look
Infimobile’s current offer is built specifically for new customers, and it runs exclusively on Verizon’s network, a change from the dual-network setup Infimobile has used in the past. That’s worth noting upfront: if you’re already an Infimobile subscriber, this particular plan and pricing structure is the new-customer rate, not a renewal offer, so it’s best to confirm with Infimobile directly what applies to an existing account.
Here’s what’s included:
12GB of monthly data. This is double what Mint Mobile’s comparable tiered plan offers, giving noticeably more breathing room for maps, streaming, social media, and everyday browsing without worrying about hitting a wall partway through the month.
Unlimited talk and text. Standard nationwide coverage for calls and texting, with no caps or per-use charges.
Verizon network access. Rather than being assigned a network based on ZIP code, this plan runs on Verizon specifically, a network with a long-standing reputation for broad coverage, including many rural and suburban areas where other carriers can be spotty.
Mobile hotspot, included up to 5GB per month. This is one of the more generous inclusions on a plan at this price point. Rather than being an upsell or a feature reserved for a premium unlimited tier, the hotspot allowance comes standard with the 12GB plan, giving you a separate pool of data for tethering a laptop or tablet when needed.
Flexible tenure options. This is where Infimobile’s pricing gets genuinely interesting. Instead of a single term length, new customers can choose:
- 12 months for $90: ideal if you want to test the service before committing further out
- 24 months for $180: the same $7.50/month rate, locked in for two full years
- 36 months for $270: three years of service at that same flat rate
Because the monthly rate doesn’t increase as the term lengthens, choosing a longer tenure isn’t a “pay more to save more” trade-off; it’s simply a way to lock in today’s price for longer, without re-shopping or re-committing every 12 months.
Mint Mobile’s 6GB Plan: The Comparison Point
Mint Mobile’s 6GB plan (recently bumped up from its earlier 5GB allotment at the same price) is sold in shorter commitment windows, with 6 months or 12 months being the most common terms for this comparison:
- 6-month term: $10/month, for a $60 upfront payment
- 12-month term: $15/month, for a $180 upfront payment
Notice that Mint’s monthly rate actually increases the longer you commit: $10/month on the 6-month term versus $15/month on the 12-month term. That’s a different pricing philosophy from Infimobile’s flat-rate approach, where the per-month cost stays the same no matter how long you sign up.
Mint’s plan includes unlimited nationwide talk and text and runs on T-Mobile’s network exclusively. As with most of Mint’s tiered data plans, mobile hotspot use is generally drawn from your regular monthly data allotment rather than provided as a separate bucket, meaning any tethering you do comes directly out of that same 6GB.
Head-to-Head: Where the Value Gap Shows Up
Putting the two carriers’ 12-month options side by side makes the comparison concrete:
| Monthly Data | 12GB | 6GB |
| Total Price | $90 | $180 |
| Effective Monthly Rate | $7.50 | $15 |
| Hotspot | Included, up to 5GB/month | Drawn from main data pool |
| Network | Verizon | T-Mobile |
| Talk & Text | Unlimited | Unlimited |
For the same 12-month commitment, Infimobile customers pay half of what Mint Mobile customers pay, while receiving double the data and a dedicated hotspot allowance on top. That’s not a marginal difference; it’s a plan that’s doing meaningfully more for meaningfully less.
The Multi-Year Angle: Locking In a Rate
One area where Infimobile’s current structure stands apart from Mint’s is the option to commit for 24 or 36 months at the same $7.50/month rate.
If you project this out:
- Infimobile, 36 months: $270 total, or $7.50/month averaged across three full years
- Mint Mobile, 12-month renewals over 3 years (at current 12-month pricing): approximately $540 total, assuming the $15/month rate holds steady at each renewal, which isn’t guaranteed, since promotional and standard pricing can shift between terms
That’s a meaningful gap over a multi-year horizon, and it comes with the added benefit of not having to re-shop, re-apply for promotions, or risk a renewal price increase every 12 months. For someone who already knows they’re happy with Verizon’s coverage in their area and wants to stop thinking about their phone plan for a few years, the 24- or 36-month Infimobile option is built almost exactly for that use case.
Why the Verizon-Only Network Matters
Previously, Infimobile offered coverage on either Verizon or T-Mobile depending on a customer’s ZIP code. The current new-customer plan simplifies that by running exclusively on Verizon. For shoppers comparing this directly to Mint Mobile, which runs exclusively on T-Mobile, this actually makes the comparison cleaner: it’s one single, well-established network against another, rather than a variable assignment.
Verizon has traditionally built out especially strong coverage in rural and semi-rural areas, which can matter a lot if you’ve had spotty experiences with T-Mobile outside of major metro areas. As always, actual performance depends on your specific location, so it’s worth checking Verizon’s coverage map for your area before switching.
Who This Plan Makes the Most Sense For
Based on the numbers, Infimobile’s 12GB plan is especially well-suited to:
- New customers who are data-conscious but don’t need unlimited. 12GB comfortably covers typical daily use for most smartphone owners.
- Anyone who wants a mobile hotspot without paying extra for it. The included 5GB/month hotspot allowance removes a common pain point on budget plans.
- People who live or work in areas where Verizon outperforms T-Mobile. Single-network clarity makes it easier to check expected coverage ahead of time.
- Long-term planners who’d rather lock in a rate than shop around annually. The 24- and 36-month options hold the exact same $7.50/month price, with no step-up cost for committing longer.
It’s worth remembering this plan and pricing structure is specifically for new customers, so if you’re already with Infimobile, confirm current renewal terms and network details with their support team rather than assuming this exact offer applies to your account.
How to Sign Up
- Confirm you qualify as a new Infimobile customer, since this plan and pricing are structured specifically for new sign-ups.
- Check Verizon’s coverage in your area before switching, since the plan runs exclusively on Verizon’s network.
- Choose your tenure: 12, 24, or 36 months based on how long you’re comfortable committing, keeping in mind the monthly rate stays the same across all three.
- Select SIM or eSIM activation, depending on your device.
- Port in your existing number or activate a new one, depending on whether you’re switching carriers.
- Confirm your hotspot allowance is active in your account once service starts, since it’s included automatically with this plan.
As always, double-check current pricing and terms directly on Infimobile’s site at checkout, since promotional details can be updated.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The $7.50/month rate on the 12GB plan, across the 12-, 24-, and 36-month tenures, is structured as a new-customer offer. Existing Infimobile subscribers should check with the company directly for applicable renewal pricing and network details on their account.
No, this is one of the plan’s standout features. Whether you choose 12 months ($90 total), 24 months ($180 total), or 36 months ($270 total), the effective rate stays at $7.50/month throughout. Longer terms simply let you lock that rate in for longer, without any price increase.
This plan runs exclusively on Verizon’s network. It’s a change from Infimobile’s previous setup, which assigned customers to either Verizon or T-Mobile based on ZIP code.
No. The hotspot allowance up to 5GB per month is included as a separate amount, distinct from your primary 12GB of phone data. This differs from Mint Mobile’s tiered plans, where hotspot use typically draws directly from your regular monthly data.
On a 12-month term, Infimobile’s 12GB plan costs $90 total ($7.50/month), while Mint Mobile’s 6GB plan costs $180 total ($15/month) on the same 12-month term. That means Infimobile offers double the monthly data for half the total price over the same commitment period.
Final Thoughts
When you line up the actual numbers, the comparison isn’t close. Infimobile’s new-customer 12GB plan delivers double the data of Mint Mobile’s comparable 6GB plan, at half the 12-month cost, with a mobile hotspot allowance included standard rather than drawn from your main data pool. Add in the option to lock that same $7.50/month rate in for two or three years without any price increase, and it becomes a genuinely strong option for anyone willing to commit to Verizon’s network as a new customer.
Mint Mobile remains a dependable, well-known carrier, but on a pure cost-and-data basis, Infimobile’s current plan structure is hard to beat.
