I got Pixel6a a year ago in a similar deal from Mint. Even though Mint claimed that phone is locked, I tried inserting a sim from an INTL carrier and it worked. When I called Mint after 12 months then they told me that Google phones are not locked so there is no need to unlock.
I am not sure about 7pro but mine 6a was unlocked from the day I received.
Ported my number to Google Voice many years ago, been using Mint most of those years as a "new customer" by getting a new number each time and setting GV to forward calls to the new number each time (a few quick taps in the GV app does it). This time I'll have to get my own number somewhere else to port in ($3 by setting up a new Google account & porting that out is my most likely path), but everything else is the same.

I look like a new account to Mint each time by using Gmail's "plus sign" feature whereby you insert some random text preceded by a plus sign right before the @ in your email address and that extra stuff looks like a different address to Mint, but Gmail ignores it. For example:

[email protected]

Looks unique to Mint, but still gets processed to the [email protected] address by Google. I often use the company and date for the random text to ensure it's unique, so I'd have:

[email protected]
Last year during the big Mint sale I got this phone and ported our numbers over. I'm a fan of the phone (no fingerprint issues) and Mint's pricing, but beware there are known MMS issues the Pixel 7 Pro on Mint that are not fixed after over a year.

Texting via group texts sometimes doesn't go through (or come through) and sending pictures via text just don't work. After troubleshooting for a year with support and reddit forums, there still isn't a fix. It got better after switching the APN and found one that works OK, but it's never consistent.

Just a warning to anyone considering the switch.

There is the Temporary sim unlock on XDA, not sure if it applies to pixel 7.

The trick is found on the recent $99 tracfone pixel 6a wiki. It is the best to do the trick out of the box before applying any updates.

To temp unlock it for using with other carriers: (one minor change, I can't find device setup in netguard, I disabled "carrier setup" instead)

Remove SIM card from the device. DO NOT INSERT IT UNTIL YOU FINISHED ALL THE LISTED STEPS.
Factory reset phone.
Go through OFFLINE set-up process.
Go to Settings – Apps – See All Apps.
On the three dots on the top right-hand side, tap show system.
Search – Device setup.
Tap Mobile data & Wi-Fi – deactivate Background Data.
Go back – Then "Battery" – Set to Restricted.
Go to home screen and pull screen down.
Press and hold Internet until it opens.
Select the desired Wi-Fi network and connect.
Tap on gear on the right of your connected WIFI.
Tap Network Usage – select "Treat as metered."
Go to the playstore Search "NetGuard", install it
Open NetGuard, give it unrestricted battery permissions (so it can run allways) dont worry its super safe.
Tap the three dots on netguard, settings, advanced options and enable "manage system apps"- exit netguard settings.
on netguerd main screen search "Device Setup" and disable the wifi and data communications by taping the little icons next to it
Go back to home screen and insert SIM card.
Enjoy using your unlocked device.

Could I run this in dual-SIM mode. I have Verizon now, so port over a different number (my Google Voice number??) and use this new phone with both Verizon and Mint service?
Why not just port in the Verizon number?

Feel like this thread's wiki should include something about the porting in not being strictly necessary to get the deal. Yes, you'd need it if you wanted the 12 months of service for the price of 6. But can toss the SIM out and the service, and keep the locked phone and use with Mint service if you already have it.

It'd open up the deal to existing Mint users definitely. Whereas I almost passed it up before looking more closely

Lady and gentlemen, hopefully they honor the deal, but don't be surprised your order might get cancelled. Some people got cancelled on the $400 deal
As long as they don't cancel my free bacon coupon...anyone that messes with my bacon can kiss my grits.

Too much red tape to get this phone for free. I got the deal for the Pixel 7 unlocked with the 15gb service for little more than $300 last year and I was able to sell of the phone and keep the service. This deal is only good if you want buy this phone and use it.
Wrong. The whole package will sell quite nicely on eBay. Watch the flood of sellers. The pro play is to get the unlimited plan and phone.

You just can't use the service. The phone and the 12 months service are completely separate.
Will it still be able to get unlocked since it's never been activated?
