'There's no brick-and-mortar, and it's a company that's largely pioneered the DTC online wireless category. 'That's quite literally the business model of Mint,' he said. Mint operates with far less overhead than the top three wireless providers - T-Mobile ( TMUS), AT&T ( T), and Verizon ( VZ) - and that's what makes this kind of price cut possible, said Reynolds. I've just never quite understood how, when wireless is an essential service, why you'd pay $100 a month for something when you could get the exact same thing for $15 a month.' 'Quite literally the business model of Mint' 'It's a company that thinks different and pivots when it needs to. 'This is the exact reason I became an owner of this company,' Reynolds said. Most major wireless carriers' plans start at at least $60 a month, and it's a good time to offer consumers a discount - according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation last month was at its highest since 1981. It's a ' deflation' campaign that's in direct response to both major wireless companies' rate hikes and the inflation crisis rattling consumers. From there, even an unlimited plan only costs $30 a month. Until July 5, Mint is dropping the price of all its plans to $15 a month for the first three months. In recent years, Mint's become known for its humorous, deft commercials, and counterintuitive promotions, including a current campaign. Though Mint doesn't disclose the size of its user base or Reynolds's stake, the company says it has more than doubled in size annually since it was founded five years ago. On top of his other investments and movie-star-related activities, Reynolds is an owner of Mint, a mobile virtual network operator that he first invested in back in 2019. Reynolds garnered headlines in the marketing world after he parlayed a disastrous Peloton ad as a way to promote Aviation Gin. The “Deadpool” star hired the wife-actress Monica Ruiz-to star in the spot. Similar to his Super Bowl stunt, Reynolds tweeted the video to his followers saying, “Exercise bike not included.Telecom company Mint Mobile is cutting rates, and Ryan Reynolds is here to tell you why: 'Because we don’t hate you.” Those who want to take up Reynolds on his deal must sign up for Mint Mobile after kickoff and before the final whistle in exchange for three months of service.

And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

“So we could literally give away over 300,000 months of free service and still save money. He then goes on to explain that Mint offers wireless service for just $15 a month. “As the new owner of Mint Mobile, that’s a HARD no.” “On Sunday, some companies will spend over $5 million dollars to advertise in a game so expensive I can’t even mention its name lest we summon its army of lawyers,” the copy in The Times read. He also included an image of Mint’s New York Times’ ad, which essentially describes the $5 million price tag to advertise in the Super Bowl as ridiculous ( though it didn’t seem like a bad idea to Mint last year). Reynolds’ tweet drew 1,300 retweets and about 14,000 likes within the first two hours it posted, bringing plenty of attention to a relatively unknown brand.
