An add-on to the Mint line
The pass is purchased for an eligible Mint account. It uses the existing number and does not create a second line.
Current pass sizes and destinations should be checked in the account rather than copied from an old article.
Voice, text and data
A pass can include defined data, voice and text allowances. Hotspot and reduced-speed behavior should be checked separately.
Enable and test Wi-Fi Calling before leaving the United States.
Dual-SIM alternative
A travel eSIM can provide a larger data allowance while Mint remains active for calls and authentication.
Disable automatic data switching and understand voice charges on the Mint line.

Purchase, setup and support checklist
Before relying on Mint Mobile international roaming, sign in to the actual carrier account and verify the exact line, plan family, destination and add-on status. Carrier international benefits are attached to an account and line; they are not guaranteed merely because the phone displays the carrier name. Save the current rate or pass screen showing Product: Minternational Pass; Number: Existing Mint number; Data: Pass allowance; Calls & SMS: Pass-specific.
- Confirm the account is active and the exact destination is supported.
- Record the pass start time, end time, data allowance and overage behavior.
- Verify whether hotspot is included or uses a separate limit.
- Keep the carrier support number and account PIN available offline.
When this product setup makes sense
Keeping the US number
A Minternational Pass uses the existing Mint line rather than creating a destination number.
Wi-Fi Calling
Enable and test Wi-Fi Calling before departure because account setup can be harder after leaving the US.
Travel eSIM pairing
Use Mint for the number and a separate eSIM for data only after confirming the phone is unlocked and data switching is disabled.
