Been with them 6-7 years and absolutely love them. Might depend on area of service though.

Fine print says: "Not available for customers with a Mint plan within last 90 days of activation or trial customers." Does this include the 99 cent trial package from Amazon? I bought that a couple months ago to try it out.

Not sure, I recall reading hiccups with the trial. Activate the sim via the website instead of the app. Bypass any IMEI check, just select brand/device when asked.

I didn't save it but I also confirmed today via chat that if you are not "currently" a customer, you are entitled to be a new customer...

how does it check new customer, by the phone's IMEI (someone said I can bypass the phone hardware check if activate on desktop?), or by the phone number?
if by phone number, does it mean, I can't port my number, instead I need to get a new number to qualify this offer?

"Limited time offer, avail. from 10/9/22–1/6/23 for new customers only."

Does this mean that this promotion will be ongoing during this whole time? So no rush if I'm on the fence about switching to mint?

I've had straight talk since it started and switched to Mint last month after Verizon acquired everything Tracfone. (For anyone interested in straight talk, I switched because I'd been considering Mint for the price and if I already had to mess with getting a new Sim card for the Verizon update, why not try it? Service wasn't any worse). I'm on wifi like 90% of the time. But in the last month of using mint, I've noticed particularly going into warehouses like Sam's and home depot I lose all service where I didn't previously. My wife has tmobile/sprint and doesn't have a lot of the same issues, despite the expected overlap, like losing service in rural areas. In summary, definitely depends on the area, but from my experience, the reception is notably worse than straight talk. Considering switching back after the 3 month trial, even though I'll be back to 35 a month instead of 15.

YMMV:
3 month bonus appears to apply to *any* new activation, regardless of where and when you purchased pre-paid Mint Mobile card. I typically have 2 spare cards in my "go bag" and automatically qualified for bonus when activating during this promo window. I primarily use this for data, and buy new cards every 3 mos.

TIP:
Easiest way to activate is to place new SIM in your phone. Dial a number, and it will kick over to Mint Mobile activation line automatically. It usually recites your new phone number, but often drops call before you hear the rest of it. No worries, they will text you the new number.

Send back the word "DATA" and it will confirm your plan and duration of service.

Yes, this was how it worked last year with identical promo period.

You can easily qualify as new customer if you don't activate online.

Activate by putting SIM in any phone (spare phones are great for this), then try dialing a phone number. It will automatically dump you into activation line, and prompt for a ZIP Code. It then grabs an available number and you will be all set.

You can port later if you wish.
