Mint Mobile is facing a proposed class action over how it advertised its home internet service, Law360 reported on June 18, 2026. The complaint alleges Mint baited customers into ordering home internet with advertised discounts that didn't exist, and overcharged them.
What the lawsuit alleges
The complaint says the discounts shown in Mint's home internet ads weren't actually available, and that customers who ordered were charged more than they expected. It's a proposed class action, which means a court still has to decide whether it can go ahead on behalf of other customers. None of the claims have been proven.
Not the first dispute over Mint's ads
In 2023, the National Advertising Division, an industry watchdog, found that Mint's "now just $15/mo" ads could make people think the price was long-term rather than an introductory rate. Mint appealed. The review board later recommended that Mint either stop promoting a monthly price or disclose the upfront total customers have to pay.
What to check if you have Mint home internet
- Compare your first bill with the price shown when you ordered.
- Check which term you're on: Mint prices home internet differently for 3, 6 and 12 months, and only the 3-month price is an introductory rate.
- Note your renewal date and the price it renews at, so the change doesn't surprise you.
