Mint Mobile's own plan pages and a Best Buy listing state a $15/month new-customer 3-month offer requiring a $45 upfront payment (equivalent to $15/mo), and Android Central independently reports the same $45 for three months.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

Supports. Mint Mobile's plans page states a 3-Month, 5GB plan at $15/mo with a $45 upfront payment required, and its Broadband Facts label says 'Upfront payment of $45 for 3-month plan (equiv. to $15/mo.) req'd.'[3]
Supports. A Best Buy Mint Mobile listing shows the 6GB/mo plan at $15/mo with '$45 upfront payment required' and a disclosure of 'New activation and upfront payment of: $45 for 6GB/3-month plan.'[4]
Supports. Android Central reports that Mint Mobile's plans are available for $15 per month, noting 'you'll be paying for a minimum of $45 upfront (for three months).'[5]
Context. The $15 rate is an introductory price for the first three months only, after which full-price plan options apply; this is a qualifier on the offer rather than a contradiction of the claim.[3][4]
Context. The fact-checking sources (FactCheck.org, Snopes) returned no specific finding on this offer, so there is no authoritative dismissal; the support comes from the company's own pages and retail/press coverage.[1][2][6]
