Transcript

Hey. It's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for twelve month plan required. $15 per month equivalent. Taxes and fees extra. After 50 gigabytes, data speeds may slow when the network is busy.
