Mint Mobile

Mint Mobile, LLC is a mobile virtual network operator in the United States. It requires the purchase of a physical SIM card or eSIM online and, except for a trial period, prepayment for at least three months of service. In March of 2023, T-Mobile US agreed to acquire Mint mobile subject to regulatory approval. History The company was founded in 2015 as Mint SIM, a subsidiary of Ultra Mobile, by Ultra Mobile founder David Glickman, and Rizwan Kassim. In November 2019, the corporate spin-off of the company from Ultra Mobile was completed and Ryan Reynolds acquired 20–25% ownership in it. Reynolds and founder Glickman both served on the board of directors for The Michael J. Fox Foundation, and Glickman was impressed with Reynolds' marketing for Deadpool. In March 2023, T-Mobile US agreed to acquire Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries and brands, including Mint Mobile. It was announced that Reynolds would stay on as a spokesperson in his “creative role on behalf of Mint". T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert assured customers that Mint's current $15-per-month plan would remain in place, and that Mint's founders would remain to manage what “will generally operate as a separate business unit.”
