Special Pricing Initiative
Mint Mobile has significantly reduced the price of its Mint Unlimited plan from $30 to $15 per month as a response to rising costs in the wireless industry. This move comes after Ryan Reynolds consulted with the company's legal team regarding pricing practices in the context of inflation and two-year contracts. The discounted price is available for new customers signing up for the first three-month plan, with a $45 upfront payment required. This initiative seeks to attract new customers while challenging the pricing strategies of larger wireless companies.
