“What the f**k AT&T?”- Ryan Reynolds Slams Telecom Company Rivaling Mint Mobile, Launches Special Offer

Published 08/23/2024, 12:40 AM EDT

Ryan Reynolds dons many hats, but the one that stands out is his marketing expertise. Among his diverse ventures, one that showcases his promotional prowess is Mint Mobile. Reynolds acquired a 20-25% stake in Mint Mobile in 2019, but in March of the previous year, T-Mobile purchased the company for an impressive $1.35 billion. Despite this change in hands, Reynolds continues to play a significant role, with his latest F-bombed Deadpool & Wolverine film driving dynamic, edgy, and most importantly, R-rated promotions for Mint Mobile.

In a recent promotional push, Reynolds took a colorful swipe at rival telecom giant AT&T, a shift from his usual focus on box office news.

Ryan Reynolds goes the extra mile for his projects, and Mint Mobile is no exception, whether it calls for a Santa Claus makeover or dropping F-bombs. Recently, Reynolds took to Instagram stories, using a background voiceover to exclaim, “What the f**k AT&T,” in response to their price hike, while promoting Mint Mobile’s special offer. The story also features a pop-up saying, “We interupt Ryan’s regularly scheduled box office updates for a special message,” with a link directing viewers to the website.

Mint Mobile is offering a special deal where users can bring their entire family for free with their “Buy a Plan, Get Up to 4 Free” plan. The newly introduced 3-month plan features 5 GB of data for $15, compared to AT&T’s prepaid-one-month $30 plan, which is double the cost. Mint Mobile’s 15 GB, 20 GB, and unlimited plans are all available for $15 each, whereas AT&T’s 15 GB and unlimited plans are priced at $40 and $65, respectively

The prepaid carrier Mint Mobile has given the perfect plan for customers to switch and trade with not one or two but up to four lines for free. The offer is valid till September 5. To qualify, the primary line and up to four additional lines must switch from AT&T or Verizon to Mint Mobile. The free lines will be on the same 3-month introductory rate plan as the purchased line and must be activated within 45 days. 

After the introductory period, all lines will be available at full-price plan options. Mint Mobile is currently known for offering some of the best-prepaid plans in the telecom market, making it an excellent choice for those looking to switch. And with Ryan Reynolds backing the company, there is no stronger endorsement than the man now called the Marvel Jesus.
