Comment on T-Mobile is buying Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile for up to $1.35Bparent

Comments

I use Mint. The only reason I use it is because they are a price leader for the whole industry. They run regular promotions and I get service for about 8 bucks a month. I have been cycling through their new customer promotions for years. My actual phone number is with a voip service so all the numbers I get from Mint are burners.

$450 to acquire me when I was already paying wholesale rates to t-mobile? Wow, what a scam.

The number of people working the new customer promotions like this is probably insignificant.

That sounds like a lot of work...

It is not. Every 6 months, I type back in my credit card number tap a button to load the eSim. Literally nothing else I have to do. I also can let my service lapse when I am not in the country.
