Mint Mobile would like to be known for two things: those ubiquitous
ads starring Ryan Reynolds that routinely pop up on the internet and
streaming services, and its low monthly rates for wireless
service. It's probably less interested in being known as the discount
carrier that's in the process of getting snapped up by T-Mobile,
particularly if that purchase puts an end to its run as one of the
better values among phone carriers.
Both Mint and T-Mobile have said that's not going to happen. When the
$1.35 billion acquisition was announced, the companies took great
pains to stress that little was changing with Mint's wireless
offerings. In fact, since Mint already used T-Mobile's network to
provide its service — Mint's a mobile virtual network operator, or
MVNO — the transition figured to be a lot smoother than the
T-Mobile-Sprint merger from a few years back.
