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.

Yes, I have the same question. I should've gone with the 15GB plan for an additional $30. But everything was in a rush when I tried to place the order.
Once you are in their app and line activated, there are options in there to change plans. I think it then adjusts the prices accordingly.

So ported in from Verizon. So far so good. Only issue is video streaming seems blurry vs Verizon. That normal?

It's not. When you actually go to check out, it says there's none available.

Thanks! I think it was live again for about 10 minutes after your post. I was able to grab the phone itself for 99$! I shall see if it ships. My SIL ordered two of these the other day when it was live, and she ordered one for $189 and one for $99 and both arrived! I am not sure why it showed $99 for one, but now it shows the $189 when I click ( and I cannot check out) but we will see if it ships!

Can anyone report back on porting from Mint to another provider and porting back in within the same week? Did it work?

Hold up, you were able to buy the phone without the plan?

Inventory is quite thin. Refresh occasionally if you have the patience

Yea. I saw the deal last week when it first went live, and sent it to my SIL since she needed new phones. initially it kept saying there was a billing issue (it only added the phone to her cart). So she tried paypal, and it went through (just the phone for $99). Then she did another order, and this time it forced her to add a plan and phone ($189). The order with the plan arrived two days later, and the order with just the phone arrived yesterday.

When I got the alert that it might be in stock again, I thought I would try the deal for myself. Lo and behold, when I clicked the SD link, it took me to the page with just the phone for $99. I added it, checked out with PayPal, and that is where I am at now lol. I tried the same link again a few seconds later, and now it takes me to the page with the plan and the phone.

So I guess I will wait and see what happens!

I've spent 27 hours on this deal refreshing the page constantly and have never been able to catch it. Most disappointing "deal" ever.

Finally got my phone from FedEx a few mins back.
Can you please help out on the next steps?
I already have a t-mobile postpaid plan, so I'm not thinking of using mint plan
However, how should I proceed to get 12 months one, which needs port in, or keep a 6-month plan n use a new number
Also, I want to start unlocking time to start as soon as possible so that I can use it after 1 yr of unlocking
If I use offline unlocking steps, will this or are there drawbacks like constant notifications, or can you update the latest monthly patches?
I am also interested in selling plan
I would really appreciate any inputs I get..
I have read almost all comments
Thanks in advance 🙏

For the offline unlock steps, someone mentioned before it is really risky. The explanation provided is "One mistake and it locks up again, with factory reset being the only way to try next round.". Not sure what exactly is mistake but I guess could be certain update(?) Accidentally turned off VPN(?) And another major draw back mentioned is "most Work apps won't install with an active VPN app like Netguard".

Then the question you need to ask yourself is if somehow your phone is locked, you may not notice it until you tried to make phone call (or use your phone outside your home) w/o wifi which at that time you may have missed many important calls. And if you are outside during emergency and at that time you notice your phone is locked and can't make phone call, you may be in trouble.... Best do it for secondary phone and probably don't want to give the phone to other people especially those non tech-savvy person that can't do the unlock steps themselves.
