Mint Mobile offered a plan at $15 a month on 2026-08-18: its own plans page advertises premium wireless starting at $15/mo, and AP and July 2026 coverage report $15/month plans.

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.

What we found

Supports. Mint Mobile's own plans page advertises 'PREMIUM WIRELESS PLANS STARTING AT $15/MO', with a $45 upfront payment for a 3-month 6GB plan equal to $15/mo.[2]

Supports. AP reports that Mint's plans range from $15 to $30 a month, with the lowest tier at $15.[1]

Supports. Coverage from July 2026 (Android Authority, PCMag, 9to5Google) reports Mint running a promo in which all plans cost $15 per month for new customers.[3][4][5]

Context. The $15 rate depends on prepaying for a 3-, 6-, or 12-month term and applies to the introductory period for new customers; renewal pricing is higher. The sources do not show the status of the July 2026 promo on 2026-08-18.[2][3][4][5]

Context. The claim matches the post's wording that anyone can get the premium wireless plan for $15 a month, so no extraction departure is evident.
