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.
This deal is for 6 months + 6 more months if you port-in.
The one I received is the 3 months kit!

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.

Basically your account will show 12 months until the 45 days passes then it will drop to 6. Though sometimes it stays at 12, I wouldn't rely on that glitch happening to you though.
If if you're just looking to get the phone and no service then buy it for the $407 ish and sell the 6 month SIM or give it to a family member etc. If they port in a number within 45 days of your purchase, they'll get 12 months.
Numberbarn sells numbers for a few bucks and I think they guarantee them to port. There are others out there too.

It was 18.50 when I bought my first 1 year plan 2 years ago so at least it hasn't gone up.
If you use their referral program to get credit, you do not have to pay the recovery fees on that portion of your next renewal, which is nice. Some people say that if you load your "wallet" first then use that to pay your renewal, the fee is lower or non-existent too, never tried that though.

You have 45 days to activate and port in after buying so that should give you enough time to move things around.
This deal is only slick if you wanted Mint in the first place. But Mint doesn't have the best pricing for either low usage or high usage people.
