This is just such a bizarre deal. I mean it's stellar in every sense of the word and to think they reloaded it AFTER selling out of it the first time so quickly is a testament to how much they believe in this.

I think this is going to be a learning lesson for Mint that people will abuse the port-in requirements if you give them this steep of a discount off a brand new release. And, I think they'll end up taking a loss on this deal overall as the service loyalty simply won't pay off. To cover the $400 (let's call it $350 wholesale) device loss for each purchase, they would need someone to stick with Mint at the 4gb plan for 3 years total (1 free, 2 paid) on average. And that's just back of the napkin breakeven cost. Not easy as an MVNO in a highly competitive market/industry.

I mean I applaud them but wow, I genuinely think they've priced this like $150 too cheap.

Got the deal this time for my wife and I! Changing from T-Mobile and the terrible Samsung S20 FE. We both had the Pixel 1-3 with Verizon and switched to T-Mobile and got these phones... We couldn't have regretted switching out our Pixels for the S20 FEs more. One of the worst phones we've had in years. Can't wait to get back on track with the Pixel 7 Pro!

They're not losing anywhere near $400. Each retailer offered a $200 GC. Google themselves offered about $400 when you consider the fact that they were also increasing trade-in value by over $200 (my Pixel 3 XL was valued at 275, when was previously valued at 30). Instead, it is likely very close to at cost for them.

That said, I think you overestimate how often people are willing to change service, especially when the service is as cheap as Mint Mobile. It has little to do with loyalty (loyalty to a brand/company is insane as a concept to me, lol) - for most, it is simply what is easiest. That's how the majority of subscription services work.

Promotions like this is great to attract those who would normally not bother switching services to save a few dollars, but for many dollars? Hmmmm. I've been with Google Fi for longer than I'd care to admit. Odds are, unless another deal draws me away, I'll probably be at Mint Mobile for a while if the service is adequate. I was already paying $30 a month on Google Fi for voice/chat and scrupulously managing my data to keep it under 1GB. Instead, it's $30 for unlimited? I feel stupid for not looking into it sooner now, lol - but that's the point, it's easy to just stay with what you got.

Fair enough, good post.

And by the way, it's relatively easy to find a simply unlimited Fi group to join for $20/mo. Dm me if you want, though I know you're with mint now.

People are selling brand new pixel 7 pro on ebay as low as 729 now because of these deals. Strange if people did like they did with iPhones the pixels would still be at 889 or so like a few days ago. This is a great deal and I am in for 1 as I like mint service alot get about 400 Mbps where I'm at never had deprioritization issues with them even my friend on T-Mobile magenta was shocked to see on mint I was getting faster speeds then him.

If anyone doesn't want the service, I'd be willing to buy it from you. PM me. I got the 6a deal from Mint la few months ago when they had a similar offer. I don't think there would be any issues reselling it. The SIM card contains an activation code, which is used when you sign up on their website. I have a number available that I can port in as well.
