With the stress of the coronavirus, many people are looking to cut costs on everything from groceries to phone bills. Best Buy hopes to help with a special one-day sale on a three-month prepaid Mint Mobile SIM card kit that allows you to ditch that high phone bill and still receive cell phone service for three months. For today only, this regularly priced $60 SIM card kit is half off at only $30. This is a one-size-fits-all deal that you must act fast to take advantage of as this deal expires at the end of the day.
The Mint Mobile SIM card kit provides you with unlimited calls and texts and 8GB of 4G LTE data for three months. Mint Mobile uses T-Mobile towers for its service, so the signal and upload/download speed is fantastic. The setup is simple and online account management makes the switch from your previous carrier to Mint seamless.
One of the best parts of this deal is that you can bring your own phone and phone number to Mint Mobile. The SIM card kit is compatible with most unlocked GSM devices. The 8GB of 4G LTE internet is redeemable nationwide so you can browse the internet from anywhere. The SIM card itself is a three-in-one SIM card which means that it fits any phone. The three sizes are standard, micro, and nano, which covers all of the sizes for smartphones. The plan also includes unlimited calling to Mexico and Canada, so you don’t have to worry about international calling fees for anyone in North America.
There are no Mint Mobile stores, so the money it saves on overhead is passed on to the customer in the form of cheaper wireless plans. There are no contracts with Mint Mobile which is great news for people who have had bad experiences with long-term wireless contracts. Also, the company offers plans in three-, six-, and 12-month options so if you have fear of commitment you can choose a short-term plan. There are no overage charges and you also get to choose how much data you want each month. If you’re still a bit skeptical, Mint Mobile offers a seven-day trial period — if you try the service and aren’t happy with it you can get a full refund.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
