Fyi... I bought a similar deal from Bestbuy on Oct 13 and activated it on Dec 26th without any issues and got the 3+3 month offer. So the 45 day activation is not strictly applied it seems. YMMV.

Can you port out of T-Mobile directly to Mint?
Yes. It is very simple to do. All you need is your PIN number that you use when you talk to tmobile customer service. You do not need to talk to Tmobile for the port in. Mint mobile handles everything. It took me about 10 min of my time then the port in finished in a couple of hours.

Best Buy's website says if you don't buy it instore then you have 45 days to activate.

The question isn't just being able to activate at 45 days by mail purchase from BB. But will you still get the 3+3 or will they give you only 3 months since it's after the 01-07 promo date?

A Tale of Caution:
I have nothing bad to say about the company or the service.
However I've never had this service before and I jumped on this deal last time it posted which was maybe a month ago. I bought the card off of Best Buy and there was a delay in shipping I guess because they ran out of the item but they were restocking.
Needless to say it was only a one-day delay however the packaging did not advertise the additional 3 months of service for free. When I activated the SIM I was only given 3 months of service not 3 months plus 3 Free.
I contacted their help service and their excuse was that because the packaging wasn't packaging that advertised the additional 3 months that's why I didn't get it however I explained that I've never had the service before and they're currently still advertising the free 3 months so I should be given that. After a few minutes I was told that my account was credited so that once my 3 month subscription is up it will automatically pay for another 3 months or something.

So all in all I did get the deal but I had to jump through a few hoops and I wanted to advise people to check your account and make sure that it shows 6 months of service not 3 months of service.

I've been a longtime Mint customer for the past two years, for my spouse's phone plan, a summer home where I use a T-Mobile hotspot, and sometimes my phone. I bought a MInt Sim with the BOGO plan from Best Buy in October and everything went smoothly. Be aware that if you go to the Best Buy website, they list the Mint SIMs in different web pages. If you do a search on Mint SIM, you will get plans without the BOGO deal. If you follow a link (or otherwise are smart and know about the BOGO plan), then you will be taken to a Mint SIM page where the BOGO offers are offered. I activated this Mint SIM purchased from Best Buy easily, no hassles. No $10.50 activation fee. That was in late October. I then bought another Mint BOGO SIM package for my wife's phone in late November and waited until 12-20-21 to activate it. When I opened the Mint SIM envelope, I discovered that the SIM card was missing! I had to go through 45 minutes of explanations and three levels of customer service representatives at Best Buy to argue my case. They sent me a UPS return label and they got the Mint packaging without the SIM card a week ago -- but no refund yet. I filed a dispute with Amex too. It was for $45 but who wants to spend the time and hassle to argue about something like this?! Ridiculous! Now I was in a rush, so I ordered a BOGO SIM plan from Mint directly. I was charged the $10.50 activation fee (which I believe should be illegal, no way is it a true government tax fee, just a money grab by Mint). I did get the SIM in two days so that was nice, via Fedex (not Ground, Express). The activation and BOGO plan went smoothly, but I am still smarting over being charged that extra $10.50 fee which is BS.

Just tested the service in the city today: not good! I live in the suburb and the data speed is normally as high as 500mbps. However, today I went in town and the throttle was unbearable. I got 1k up/down with 135ms latency when there was 3bars of 5G signal. Seems like the more crowded it is the worse the service is. Buyer beware!

Quote from Catalyst1990 :
I attempted to move to Mint Mobile in April. I say attempted, because it never worked. I had an account with AT&T, and wanted to move my existing number over. Mint Mobile includes the instructions on how to do this. Everytime we attempted the switch, AT&T sent us the notification that they were sad to see us go, and that they were in the process of moving the number. However, Mint Mobile immediately said it failed, citing an incorrect account number and information. Not sure how it could have been incorrect if AT&T immediately saw the request. Multiple calls to AT&T customer support, and in-store visits verified that we weren't doing anything wrong, and that Mint Mobile was incorrectly processing our information. Multiple calls to Mint Mobile ended with no help from either a robot, or an uneducated customer service representative. The customer service representatives for Mint Mobile that we encountered were completely hopeless on all sorts of topics and situations. I received no help from them, no matter how high the title the service representative held. We gave up, stuck in a never ending spiral of useless representatives. After two weeks of trying, I gave up, and just stayed with AT&T. Since my number was never transferred, it didn't affect anything.

All those YouTube ads with Ryan Reynolds mention how easy it is to switch to Mint Mobile. Considering I was never able to make the switch, I would argue for some people it will be the total opposite of easy.
You need to get a moving passcode from ATT to move your att number to mint or any other. You login to your att account, search for moving number passcode because ATT doesn't make it easy to find, at least in my case. The passcode usually expires in 24 hours. When Mint asks you to enter your passcode, enter this passcode.

Mint charges a Recovery fee (not an activation fee). Purchase from Target or Best Buy, preferably in-store to avoid a missing sim package, and avoid the fee.

Many warnings upthread but who reads that.

Quote from Cougarstang :
I have a silly logistics question and I apologize if this has been answered.

I'm on an iPhone xs running cricket via my nano sim. This iPhone has dual sim capabilities so I tried mint's 7 day trial on my eSIM and found it to be acceptable so I think I want to take this deal and port over my cricket number instead of use the new number they gave me for the eSIM. So I guess two questions:

Can I port the cricket number over to the eSIM via the mint mobile app where I signed up for the trial?

Can an iPhone XS run mobile coverage on the eSIM ONLY? Or would I have to get a physical mint mobile sim?

Thanks!
Yes, you can port your existing number to mint esim. Yes, your iPhone XS can use Esim only. No physical sim is needed

Superficial....Pathetic Return Policy on Device's....Be careful if you planning to return the device to Mint. Their shipping partner is FedEx....which needs to be renamed for their service...lost the return package at first location only.

Never buy a phone from Mint. They partner with Q1/Quality One Wireless to fulfill phone sales. Nothing but horror stories on Mint's subreddit for years. Caveat emptor.
