T-Mobile acquires Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile for $1.35 billion USD

Gizmodo reports that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) approved the deal last week following a pledge from T-Mobile to allow existing Mint customers to switch providers for 60 days after the acquisition.

The carrier also agreed to keep Mint’s $15/mo deal for new and existing customers, although it only committed to this “through the end of the year.”

MobileSyrup reached out to Mint Mobile to see if it still had plans for a Canadian expansion and will update this post with any additional information it provides.

Alongside the acquisition, T-Mobile did announce Mint would get expanded roaming in Mexico and Canada along with some other T-Mobile features, like a ‘Scam Likely’ warning on calls from known scammers.
