T-Mobile US Inc. (NasdaqGS:TMUS) is considering a takeover of local budget mobile wireless provider Mint Mobile, LLC, which counts as a shareholder Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, Bloomberg reported, citing knowledgeable sources. Talks have already started but no deal is certain at this point, the insiders quoted by the media have said. Mint was launched on August 1, 2016 in Costa Mesa, California with the idea to deliver affordable wireless direct-to-consumer.

Its service costs as little as USD 15 (EUR 13.9) a month. Reynolds acquired an ownership stake in the business in November 2019. Financial details of the deal were not provided.

The actor holds one-fourth of the company, according to one of the news agency's sources.
