Mint Mobile ’ s prepaid mobile service is among the best value for money offerings on the market , with access to its network ( which is hosted by T-Mobile ) for as little as $ 15 per month .
Unlike other prepaid carrier models , Mint reduces customer costs when they buy in bulk , selling data plans for three to 12 month blocks , which are paid for in advance . The company also offers a starter kit for $ 5 that allows customers to test the service with 100MB of LTE data , 100 text messages and 60 minutes of talk time , with the $ 5 returned as bill credit if they sign up for the service . Researchers at Forbes found recently that “ Mint … offers the best value cellular plans of all the other nationwide providers .”
Mint is also widely known as one of actor Ryan Reynolds ’ high-profile investments . Reynolds purchased roughly 25 % stake in the company in 2019 and continues to serve as the face of the growing brand .
