There’s an upside to having a movie star as the face of your phone carrier — when they’ve got a movie to promote, there might be a deal in it for you. Such is the case with Ryan Reynolds, star of the upcoming motion picture IF and titular head of Mint Mobile. The May 17 release of that movie means Mint is adding a perk for new customers who sign up for the carrier’s unlimited plan.
If you sign up for a three-month trial of Mint’s unlimited data plan during the month of May, the carrier will include a six-month subscription to the Paramount Plus streaming service. Existing Mint customers who opt-in to the unlimited plan are eligible for the Paramount Plus deal, too.
This is a good time to give Mint’s unlimited data plan a try. The carrier has cut the rate on the service to $15/month for the first three months as part of yet another promotion. That means you’re paying $45 total for three months of service that normally cost $90.
After your three months are up, your rate goes back to the standard cost of unlimited data at Mint. That plan costs $30 per month, though to get that rate, you need to pay for a full year of service in advance. Mint also offers unlimited data at $35/month for six months and $40/month for three months.
Mint’s $30/month rate when you pay $360 for a year of service upfront is a very competitive monthly rate that places Mint’s plan among the best unlimited data plans out there. Because Mint uses T-Mobile‘s network for its service, you can expect good performance, particularly when it comes to 5G connectivity.
The Paramount Plus subscription included in Mint’s new offer covers the Essentials tier of the streaming service. Normally $5.99/month, Essentials doesn’t include your local CBS station or Showtime, but you are able to access the full Paramount Plus library, along with separate feeds of NFL football and UEFA Champions League soccer.
