TL; DR

  • Mint Mobile introduces a new mobile plan made for kids.
  • The plan offers unlimited talk and text with 5GB of data for $15 per month.
  • Parents can monitor their child’s data usage and receive all communications associated with the account.

It is not unusual for children to receive special discounts at restaurants, museums and many other places. Now Mint Mobile members can also add phone plans to that list. Mobile Currency has announced that it is launching a mobile subscription for children.

Mint Mobile today revealed Mint Kids, a new wireless subscription designed especially for your ‘mini-me(s)’. This plan gives the young person unlimited calling and texting, along with 5GB of data, all for $15 per month. However, it is important to note that there is an introductory rate of $45, which will cover you for three months. After that period is over, you can change your subscription, add more data or cancel it depending on your needs.

The carrier states that Mint Kids offers all the benefits you get from a regular Mint Mobile subscription. This includes free 5G access, free roaming in Canada, free calls to Mexico and Canada, free mobile hotspot, Wi-Fi calling and more.

Not only is the plan a way to pay less for your child’s phone bill, it also offers parental controls. According to the mobile provider, parents can monitor their child’s data usage. They can also monitor all communications associated with the account, including alerts.

If you’d like to sign up for Mint Kids, it’s available starting today. You must register online to sign up. The company says you can also sign up at Target starting next month.
