History
The company was founded in 2015 as Mint SIM, a subsidiary of Ultra Mobile, by Ultra Mobile founder David Glickman, and Rizwan Kassim.
In November 2019, the corporate spin-off of the company from Ultra Mobile was completed and Ryan Reynolds acquired 20–25% ownership in it. Reynolds and founder Glickman both served on the board of directors for The Michael J. Fox Foundation, and Glickman was impressed with Reynolds' marketing for Deadpool.
In March 2023, T-Mobile US agreed to acquire Ka’ena Corporation and its subsidiaries and brands, including Mint Mobile. It was announced that Reynolds would stay on as a spokesperson in his “creative role on behalf of Mint". T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert assured customers that Mint's current $15-per-month plan would remain in place, and that Mint's founders would remain to manage what “will generally operate as a separate business unit.”
Awards and recognition
In 2021, it was named "the fastest growing company in America", and listed among the best places to work by American City Business Journals.
It was ranked by U.S. News & World Report 2nd for Best Cell Phone Plans of 2022, behind Tello Mobile, and "best for overall value" by TechRadar.
