Mint Mobile

Our go-to when needing to get on the Minternet (not apologising) in the US – stay connected on your J1 or internship in the States with a Mint Mobile SIM.

What Mint Mobile say Mint Mobile was created to give people an option that wasn't overpriced wireless. That meant ditching things like crazy fees, long-term contracts and overall BS. Instead, those savings are passed onto you.

With flexible data options, you can pick up a plan for the time that you're in the USA. Plus, the New Customer Offers means you'll get 3 months at the lowest possible rate – perfect for our Summer Work USA or Intern USA program.
