Mint Mobile has once again brought back its offer of $15/month for three months on any plan. The deal replaces an offer of buy three months get three months free that Mint Mobile had running over the holiday shopping season. That offer expired January 1, 2024. The buy three get three free offer was supported with multiple TV ads as previously reported here at BestMVNO. The new offer of buy any plan for $15/month is one that Mint Mobile has offered several times before, most recently in June 2023, while it also ran in June 2022. Mint Mobile has supported previous versions of this offer with TV advertising including this "Deflating the Price" TV ad which ran in August 2023.
I'm currently unaware of any TV advertising for the latest incarnation of the deal, however I fully expect either a new TV ad to appear or for Mint Mobile to recycle some of its older ads like they have done before. T-Mobile currently has an offer to buy Mint Mobile and its related brands, pending regulatory approval, at a price of up to $1.35 billion. The purchase price is dependent on a few undisclosed incentives being met by deal close, and I'd have to assume one is subscriber count. So I'm looking for Mint to continue to push and extend its offers hard until then.
Mint Mobile's Available Discounted Plans
Mint Mobile has four publicly advertised phone plans. Its starter plan is always sold for as low as $15/month with 5GB of high-speed data and so it is not officially a part of the current sale. But these plans are a part of the sale:
- 15GB plan: Regular price $20/month
- 20GB plan: Regular price $25/month
- 40GB plan: Regular price $30/month
The regular listed price of each plan is for new customers signing up for 3-months of service and for current and new customers who elect to sign up for an annual plan. Taxes and fees are extra and vary from city to city.
All plans include unlimited talk and text, as well as unlimited calling to Mexico and Canada. Data speeds are throttled after the high-speed data limit has been reached. Hotspot is included with every plan to the plan's full data allotment with the exception of the 40GB plan. Hotspot is capped at 10GB for that plan.
Mint Mobile is a T-Mobile MVNO. In June 2023, T-Mobile disclosed in an FCC filing that Mint Mobile had roughly 2 million subscribers.
