As I recall they give you a sim card via mail and it has a temporary number associated with it and you can swap sims and use that temp number for a few days while you trial it. Then when you’re ready install the mint app on your phone and follow the prompts, it will check compatibility with your phone and then it starts the porting number and I think I might have had to go to network settings and type something in or at least verify it.
It only took a minute or two and was mostly seamless if you already know where the mobile network settings are on your phone, and if you don’t they had a few help articles and videos.
One thing I do recall was when I made my account it didn’t say there was a limit on how long the password can be and using the website it truncates your password length automatically but the mobile app does not. So for example if I choose “onehundredfive” as my password which is 14 chars and their system only has a max length of ten then when I created my account on their website it took the “onehundredfive” and truncated it to “onehundred” discarding the rest so when I login later on the website it works fine because it’s still only taking the first ten and ignoring the rest. On the mobile app it doesn’t truncate so it’s logging in with “onehundredfive” but my password is actually just “onehundred” in their system.
You were able to port your number over with no issue?
