To anyone doing this deal and using Mint service - ignore the APN instructions they text you. The default "T-Mobile US" APN that is automatically installed with the SIM card is the right one to use. I've seen some reports that the Pixel 7 with newer SIM cards may get more than 1 APN installed. Personally I'd delete all but the locked T-Mobile one, but you can leave the others if you want and just select the T-Mobile one, that should be sufficient.
I don't typically like having extras in there as sometimes it can switch on its own or one setting might override another even if it isn't selected.
Also try using a referral link, they don't always work on the phone deals but since this one is direct from Mint (and not through their 3rd party phone reseller) it theoretically should. They do give you a place to put in the phone number that referred you and I think that will definitely work, but if you grab a random referral link off the web, that person isn't going to give you their phone number probably. See if you know someone with mint and use their referral link AND phone number during the order. That way if you don't get the credit ($15 for you, variable amount for the friend) you have their info to submit to support to try and get it manually applied.
=========================
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the SIM kit that you received.

Note you need to add some to the price for 12 months worth of the regulatory fees that they will charge at checkout. Probably $20 to $30 depending where you are.
Can probably resell the SIM but be cautious to tell the person they must port in a number within 45 days to get the 6 months free.

"If you want to get the Pixel 7 bundle, you just need got o to our website, to the section "deals" > https://mintmobile.com/deals/ and you will be able to check all our deals. Those deals are for new customers that the requirement is port a number form another carrier and they receive a discount. You can purchase this deals too, and receive the phone discount, but please kindly keep in mind that you wont be able to use the the 12 months plan that came with the phone, as you are going to keep your same number. And we are unable to transfer a Mint number to another Mint SIM card."
So if you just want the phone for under $400, seems like a deal anyway, moreso if you can port a number in for the service.
Activation is needed but a new line is not required ($399).
In essence paying$400 for a brand new pixel 7??
Anyway, Mint is in talks to be acquired by TMo.
