Mint Mobile is an offshoot of Ultra Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator. The company sells discount prepaid SIM cards and mobile phone service that works on T-Mobile’s network.
Ultra Mobile kicked off Mint Mobile in August of 2016. The company offers vastly reduced rates for service for customers who are willing to pay in advance of at least 3 months duration, rather than month to month.
Originally limited to Android phones, the company now offers service to iPhone users as well. The base rate at Mint is $15 a month for unlimited talk, text, and data, as well as 2 GB of high-speed (4 LTE) service. That is roughly half the price of the lowest competitor, MetroPCS.
In a review dated January of 2018, Forbes listed this service as a top provider which can save consumers hundreds of dollars in cell phone bills.
In 2019, actor Ryan Reynolds purchased an ownership stake in Mint Mobile.
In January 2022, the company was listed as the Most Versatile Cell Phone Plan by USNews.
In November 2023, the company offered a 6-month plan for the price of 3 months for its Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.
Company co-headquarters are currently located in Costa Mesa, California, with an additional office in New York.
