Yes, your Mint Mobile phone plan works in Canada. Mint Mobile offers Free Canada Roaming, which gives you unlimited talk and text and 3GB of high-speed data you can use throughout Canada. Your Mint plan connects to Canada service as soon as you cross the border, with Canada Roaming automatically kicking in, just make sure data roaming is enabled in your phone's settings.
What Mint service works in Canada?
Your Mint Mobile service includes unlimited talk and text, plus 3GB of high-speed data every month with Free Canada Roaming, at no extra charge. Once you hit 3GB of high-speed data used in Canada, your speed drops to 128Kbps, which allows you to access Google Maps or browse your email while out, but not much else. Also, the 3GB of Canada roaming data doesn't use up any of your monthly data back home.
How to use Mint Mobile in Canada
To use your Mint Mobile service in Canada, you have to turn on data roaming on your phone. You don't need to pay for any add-ons or international passes to stay connected. Your service will automatically connect to local networks in Canada once you cross the border.
How to enable data roaming on Android:
- Open Settings.
- Tap on Connections.
- Choose Mobile networks.
- Find Data roaming and turn it on by toggling the switch.
How to enable data roaming on iPhone:
- Open Settings.
- Tap on Cellular.
- Choose Cellular Data options.
- Toggle on Data roaming.
Do you need to buy a pass before traveling to Canada?
No, Mint customers do not need a separate add-on or travel pass for service in Canada. All free service in Canada is included with every Mint plan for all Mint customers. In fact, Minternational Passes are built for other countries and won't even activate while you're in Canada since Free Canada Roaming already has you covered. If you plan to stop in another country on the way to Canada, you can consider a Minternational Pass for coverage in that country, but it won't work in Canada.
What happens if you run out of roaming data?
Once you use your 3GB of high-speed data, Mint still includes unlimited data but slows your Canada data to 128Kbps. That means texts and basic maps still load, even if streaming and downloads crawl. If you want your speed back, you can buy a data add-on:
- 1GB for $5
- 3GB for $10
- 10GB for $20
These add-ons only work while you're roaming in Canada, and they don't roll over once the month ends.
How to monitor your Canada data usage
You can track your Canada data usage two different ways, in the Mint Mobile app or through Mint's website.
In the Mint Mobile app, tap Account, and then Free Canada Roaming to see a graph of how much data you have left and buy an add-on if you need one. You can also check your Mint Mobile Wallet to see how many prepaid credits you have too.
On Mint's website, you can log into your Mint account and find Free Canada Roaming under the Add-Ons tab in the sidebar. You'll see the same usage graph and add-on options there.
Can Mint Family members buy their own Canada data Add-Ons?
Yes, anyone on a Mint Family plan can buy their own add-ons either through the Mint Mobile app or Mint's website. Or they can ask the primary account holder to add one for them (just like any other Mint add-on).
What if Mint Mobile isn't working in Canada?
If your Mint Mobile service isn't working in Canada, double-check that you have data roaming enabled on your phone. You won't be able to connect to local networks in Canada if you don't turn on data roaming. If service still isn't connecting, try toggling airplane mode on and off, or restart your phone. A restart fixes most connection hiccups within a minute or two.
