my question is more of how people find mints data harvesting to be. from my limited research i found cape which seems to be the most private phone company and then others that are a lil less, but a lil less pricy as well. from a surface level mint seems to be very good considering the prices but of course, those who have used it would know best.

im basically in the process of de-googling and getting some semblance of privacy back largely in part because of the major push for "Real-ID" and this is my way of fighting it. i got the computer stuff down as well as one can have private internet but the phone is new to me so any input would be helpful

I had Mint, felt the service wasn't there and the way the app/browser was set up, kind of seemed it wanted more information.

After looking around, I jumped on US Mobile. Registered under an alias within my city through a physical sim. I pay monthly using a privacy card.

So far, so good. knock on wood
