T-Mobile announces completion of acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation

T-Mobile US announced the completion of its acquisition of Ka’ena Corporation, which includes direct-to-consumer prepaid wireless brands Mint Mobile, internationally-focused value brand Ultra Mobile, and wholesale wireless solutions provider Plum. “And, as it does, the Un-carrier is letting Mint and Ultra customers know it’s great to have them here by giving them magenta goodness right out of the gate – a few freebies and new offers just for being a part of Team T-Mobile… Ka’ena leadership, including Mint founders David Glickman and Rizwan Kassim, are joining T-Mobile alongside their teams and will continue to drive these brands. The brands will continue to operate autonomously but closely aligned to the broader T-Mobile brand and business, similar to T-Mobile’s successful acquisition of MetroPCS in 2013. Ryan Reynolds will continue in his creative role on behalf of Mint. Their focus will be to deliver amazing products, value and digital-first experiences for more prepaid customers in more places… Now and over the next few months, T-Mobile is rolling out upgraded perks for current and future Mint and Ultra customers in the form of some of the Un-carrier’s favorite benefits, and a few new ones,” the company stated.
