    Mint Mobile International Calling

    I have used Mint for years. I live in the US, but when I was in France in 2019 I bought extra "international credits" (not the correct term) on Mint mobile to send texts as well as access internet data. You add them to your Mint "wallet" i believe. I did run out, so next time I got to a wifi...
