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?

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

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