Mint Mobile: Check Your Balance on iPhone: How It Works
By Muhammad Shahid · · 3 min read
Quick answer
Text BALANCE to 6700 for your account balance. 6700 is Mint's self-service SMS short code. Texting BALANCE to it returns a message with your account balance information, without waiting for a Care agent or opening the app. The reply is generated by Mint's billing system, so it reflects your prepaid plan status rather than a postpaid bill.
