"I see, yeah that promo needs to include porting in a number from old service provider to mint, the only thing that will happen if you will not going to port in is you cannot received the free six months the only thing you will going to received is the normal 6 months of plan."
1 - Pick a Google account you own that doesn't have a GV number linked to it (or create a new Google acct)
2 - Go to voice.google.com and log in to that Google acct. I prefer an Incognito window here to make sure I'm only engaging with the preferred account.
3 - Select a GV number... I used my home area code and perused the list of available numbers, settling on one that looked good.
4 - Select it, verify it by using a mobile or landline. (see note on this below)
5 - Really important.... set up a PIN!!! Settings > Voicemail > Enable Call to Listen > Enter a PIN
6 - Unlock the GV number so it can be ported: Settings > Account > GV Number > click UNLOCK
7 - Pay Google three bucks
8 - Wait for confirmation that the number is unlocked
Then at Mint:
Phone # is the GV number
Account # is also the GV number
PIN is the PIN you set up in Step 5 above.
It took me 10 minutes AFTER Mint asked me for a PIN to find where in GV the PIN is set up. No need for anyone else to waste their time like I did mine.
The important note from Step 4.... the phone you use to verify here (via text message if you're using a mobile or via a phonecall if using a landline) will be DISCONNECTED from any other GV number you may be using and will be linked to the GV number you're creating here. When you finish up all of this and have successfully ported in to Mint, you'll want to go back to whatever prior GV number you have an re-link that mobile/landline back where it belongs.
And to think I was going to go to eBay and pay someone $10-15 for a ported out Boost #, that would undoubtedly come with tons of text messages and phone calls from Collection Agencies. Lol.
Edited to add: In Step 3, if there's a particular number or phrase that you might want your GV number to spell out, you can enter it in the search window. For example, if you're a Saints fan and want WHODAT as a part of your number, enter 946328 and you'll get several numbers to choose from, like Oregon's (541) WHO-DAT-6 or New Jersey's (856) 4-WHO-DAT. The longer the phrase, the harder to find a hit, but there are a lot of options for those who want to get clever.

Catch 22
The T-Mobile Network Test Drive eSIM in my Pixel 7 doesn't have this issue.
