Another merger with the potential to greatly affect the telecom industry, let’s see where this goes. Also, good for Reynolds’ pockets!

Get rich VancityReynolds , you deserve it!

Good for them.

UGH! Why do these perfectly good small companies keep selling out to bug companies tat are going to change everything that made them unique? This has happened to so many Cosmetics and skincare companies bought by Coty and Estee Lauder and now the products just aren't the same.

They pulled off the old Micheal Scott Paper Company trick.

Mint mobile was already t-mobile without the name They used t-mobile networks to run service So it isn't that big of a deal All these companies use one of the big 3 networks So this is t-mobile putting already existing customers under the t-mobile banner

Looks like funding for future Deadpool movies is secured.

Oh, .. and 2 other brands......

T mobile already owns metro pcs. Sad our antitrust laws are almost never enforced

New Wrexham stadium incoming…..

This bums me out.

Holy shit. Ryan Reynolds about to get paiddddd

T-Mobile SUCKS..... don't ask me how I know.

Go Sens Go! Telecommunications giant T-Mobile announced buying the budget cell service provider Mint Mobile — best known for its ads with actor part-owner Ryan Reynolds. The cash-and-stock deal, which includes two other brands, is worth $1.35 billion.

Great for Ryan. Probably Not so Great for all the mint mobile customers about to see their costs go up, up, up.

More concentration. You'd think we'd have laws to prevent this kind of stuff. We could call it anti-trust.

Hey FTC. What's the legality of this whole thing?

1.3 billion is a very small company. Probably walked away a very rich man.

Pour one out for Waseem Iqnaibi

as a mint customer, this is annoying... Prices inevitably are going to go up in the next year or so.

Will Mint’s price go up?

MarlonJBlake I hate T-mobile already and gobbling up the competition makes me hate them even more!

Rich white guy gets richer.

Good to see him get some success.

Mistake. T-Mobile can't manage what it has. It's data security is non-existent. Not happy w their mgt if that's what is what.

Dude can make all the Deadpool movies he wants to now.

Things like this being allowed are a problem

Deadpool is the man

Looks like Ryan has the money needed to buy the Senators now💯💯💯❤️

I love less competition. This benefits the market so well for consumers

'Only millionaires wear chains.'

Consumer “choice” and free markets are an illusion

Capital for buying a hockey team.

Intelligent play on Reynolds' part.

'Famous Movie Actor Does Good' -- Variety

Let me guess. Warren will piss and moan about the deal.

Ah, TMobile, that noble enterprise that secures customers' data. And that's obviously meant to be dripping sarcasm about corporate managers of customers' privacy. They are terrible at it.

The American Dream is reduced to selling out to giant, monopolistic corporations

mint mobile is the best.. the cheapest rates easy to setup and run on t-mobiles network hopefully the price will stay down

You must have really searched for such a bad picture of Ryan Reynolds. Did you take a still from a video of him in mid sentence?

That's usually the reason these companies are started.

T-Mobile bought a smaller phone company?!?!?! No way!!!!

Good for him.

Wonder how much it’ll cost now.

Meanwhile I’m worth $1.35

Nice money grab 😂✊
