I mean they’re just resellers of the big guys’ network. I think Mint is a reseller of T-Mobile. Verizon has its own branded reseller labels. It all goes through the big guys’ network anyways so could they even claim that?

Mint isn't just a reseller of T-Mobile, T-Mobile owns mint.

Good point, I forgot about that news

They don't sell the data. The network they're riding still does. So the ad could technically be accurate.
