Carrier offers often sound great at first, only to surprise you with a ton of hidden fees later, especially when (free) devices are involved. And even if you do manage to find a solid deal, the eligibility requirements are typically so restrictive that you’d rather just pay full price than deal with the hassle.

Mint Mobile changes all of that, and it’s offering a bunch of jaw-dropping discounts that can save hundreds off your internet plan when you pick up a new smartphone with select device bundles. New customers who want to go this route can get an entire year of Mint’s Unlimited data plan for $180, which breaks down to just $15 a month. That’s a straightforward 50% discount, and the same price you’d normally pay for the entry-level 5GB internet plan.

That, however, is not it. You also get a chance to treat yourself to the Samsung A16 smartphone at a $169 discount, which drops its price to just $1 – you read it right, one single dollar. The latest A17 is down to $20, after the carrier shaved $180 off it. These offers are live now and run through April 8. If you’ve been thinking of making the jump, now is a great time to do it without overthinking.

Wider Coverage

Samsung A16 gets you a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display for brighter, crisp visuals. There’s a 50MP main sensor supported by an additional lens, paired with a 13MP front camera for stunning selfies. It runs on the Exynos 1330 Octa-core processor and features a 5,000mAh battery for reliable, all-day usage.

Its successor – the A17 – builds on that with a few nice upgrades. You still get the 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display, but with a better refresh rate and higher brightness levels. It also runs on the Exynos 1330 Octa-core processor that’s ideal for everyday tasks, and gets you a 128GB storage capacity to house all your important files and media content.

The Unlimited plan makes it easy to make countless calls and send as many texts as you want, the entire month, or in this case, a full year. Mint Mobile offers 5G coverage to 98% of Americans and 4G LTE coverage to 99%, promising reliable, high-speed internet wherever you go. It also offers free calling to Mexico, Canada, and the UK, so you won’t have to spend extra to stay connected with friends there.

The current offer lets you subscribe to the Unlimited data plan at a 50% discount, for just $180/year. It also takes up to $180 off select Samsung smartphones, dropping the starting price to literally $1. Snag it now to avoid paying the full price later.
