    Is T-Mobile considering an acquisition of Mint Mobile, the
    budget-focused MVNO backed by actor Ryan Reynolds?

    Bloomberg reported that T-Mobile is considering an acquisition of Mint
    Mobile, the MVNO backed by actor Ryan Reynolds.

    * I was under the impression that Mint was already part of T-Mobile -
    * that it was T-Mobile’s low-end brand, made to compete with Consumer
    * Cellular for Senior users.

    * Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

    No, Mint Mobile is an independent MVNO, which operates off of both
    T-Mobile's network. I think it was split from Ultra Mobile, which is
    also an independent MVNO, running from T-Mobile towers.

    T-Mobile owns Metro PCS; perhaps that's what you are thinking of?
