Multiple sources confirm that Mint Mobile offers wireless plans equivalent to $15 per month, though the discount is an introductory, prepaid rate for new customers. The claim departs from the passage only in dropping the ad's phrasing, which is a faithful paraphrase, so it is graded normally. Ryan Reynolds's ad copy in the post makes the same $15/month offer.

An ad makes this claim. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
