Not sure who downvoted this or why, but i am concerned with this fine print

To qualify for the offer, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number cannot have been associated with a Mint Mobile plan within 90 days of activation.

So, if someone was on Mint, and left for less than 3 months, they cannot enroll for this sim.

For those asking, they're not checking IMEI's. If you're already on Mint you will need to get a new number though which is perfect for the Google Voice folks. Just use your head, when you register on their website choose to do so by brand and model of your phone, not your IMEI.

Got super lucky on this... bought a $30/ 3 month 10gb card at Best Buy just around 45 days ago. Held off activating it while running down another plan I was on, activated that sim 2 days ago. They gave me 6 months on the 3 month card!! Couldn't figure out what was going on, now that I see this new deal I know.

$45 for 6 months or per month? I'm confused
$45 for 3 months. Plus 3 free months. So $45 for 6 months of service. Which equates to $7.50/month.

Quote from jayeskreezy :
But doesn't a dual sim phone still have one IMEI? If that's the case this still wouldn't make a difference.
Each sim slot has its own IMEI. It is tied to the slot, not the phone per se.

My mint plan ends Nov 6 2021. Guess I can't buy this now and on the 7th put it in to activate new number. I use the google voice work around, but with this "To qualify for the offer, International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number cannot have been associated with a Mint Mobile plan within 90 days of activation." I suppose they put an end to the google voice work around. Sadface.
They did this last year too. This restriction is only applied to the deals where they add on additional service on top of what comes with the card, like this 3+3. You can still buy the off-the-shelf 3mo deals (like the $20 for 3mo) if you are using the same IMEI.

Question about Mint. If you exhaust your data allotment, is it throttled to 128 kbps or something, so you can still get emails and basic stuff or does it just shut off until your next cycle? Thanks.
Yes, it still works for emails or WhatsApp. Slow for most of other things.

Guys, I bought one of these like 5 months ago and never used it. Has a limit of 45 days to use. Could I buy this new one and return the old one?
The old one must have out of the return window now. BB usually has 15 days return policy.

Quote from SudeshS90 :
Can we get esim with this offer instead of physical ?
I don't think so. From what I have observed, eSim option is only available if you were to buy this directly from MintMobile.com. But the other retailers only carry a physical sim.

$45 for 3 Months ($15 per Month for 4GB) + 3 Free Months = 6 Months in total for $45

Normal Months you get for $45 is 3 Months w/ 4GB per Month. This deal is adding 3 extra Months for same price. Plus the movie.

I have the Mint unlimited plan I'm not sure bout when throttled, but I'm a very data heavy user and have not come close to the 35 gig limit. Most I remember hitting has been 25-28 gigs or less... and I even generally stream YouTube while I drive. Those stream at 480p, which is more than perfectly fine on a phone screen.

Started with their January 3+3 deal and am really happy with it...

Have Tello now. The switch over to T-Mobile resulted in a lot of dropped calls. Seems fine now. Anyone used both? Is Mint similar, I know it is on a different network. Thanks for posting OP.
