Mobile got larger today as it completed its acquisition of Mint Mobile, the cellular network best known for being partly owned by Canadian Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds.
This acquisition also handed over the ownership of the Ka'ena Corporation, Mint Mobile's parent company, which means that its sibling networks, Ultra Mobile and Plum, also joined Big Tech.
While this is an acquisition, it does not mean that Mint and Ultra are losing their names and services; they will continue with their current operations.

This focuses on T-Mobile's Ka'ena Corporation acquisition, the parent company of Mint, centering on its brands like direct-to-consumer prepaid wireless brands, the international Ultra Mobile, and wholesale wireless network provider Plum.
We are excited to maintain the unique style and entrepreneurial spirit that make Mint and Ultra truly special, while also finding ways to supercharge their growth and leverage some of the secrets of that success into other areas of our business.

T-Mobile and Mint Mobile
T-Mobile is still the best-known cellular network company for 5G speeds, giving the top numbers compared to the two other companies that are part of the Big Three of cell connections.
While rivals like Verizon are catching up, T-Mobile still holds the record for offering users the highest 5G speeds, remaining on top for its impeccable service.
The T-Mobile and Mint Mobile acquisition first caught wind back in January 2023, with the Big Tech company interested in acquiring the cell service partly owned by Reynolds.
Reports claim that T-Mobile is willing to buy the company for as much as $1.35 billion, centered on owning the budget-option telecom to the larger company after its long interest in a sale.
Mint Mobile's sales interest is finally answered by T-Mobile, which offers comprehensive services in the country alongside its fast internet and cellular communication offers.
It was not revealed how much T-Mobile acquired Mint and the Ka'ena Corporation, with Ultra Mobile and Plum also part of this acquisition, with plans already revealed for its operations moving forward.
