It's not their cheapest plan, but it seems like a decent deal, and the renewal would cost you the same as the Unlimited plan (assuming you pay for the 12 months). eSIM or physical.

eSIM or physical SIM activation options
What's the difference? An eSIM is just a physical SIM that has gone digital. If your phone is not eSIM compatible or you prefer to hold it in your hand, choose a physical SIM. If your phone is eSIM only or eSIM compatible, choose eSIM. No matter what you decide, both options save you a ton of money.
Before you buy:
1. Make sure Mint is right for you and check coverage in your area at: mintmobile.com/coverage
2. Make sure your phone is unlocked and compatible with Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/byop What does it mean to have an unlocked phone? This means your phone is fully paid off with your former carrier, and in some cases, carriers require you to call them to unlock your phone. Don't worry, a MINTech Advisor can help you with this.
3. If choosing an eSIM, check to see if your phone is eSIM compatible: mintmobile.com/eSIM
We're here to help every step of the way.

Updated title to not get the existing customers' hopes up. That'd probably annoy me if I wanted to top up/renew.
The tip. If you are not a new customer you can still enjoy the offer, buy you must change your number. If the sacrifice is worth it, go for it. If not, keep in the lookout for future plan deals.
Don't you lose iMessage functionality for your real number?

No issues with call quality since it can go over the normal number.
people should be switching to better messaging anyways.

The texting is nice in that you can use it from multiple devices, but everything else about the experience is much worse than normal messaging apps. You can't send videos, pictures get sent as potato quality, no emotes, etc.
For call quality, so many times I had to tell the person that called me I would call them back from a different number because I could barely understand them. I'd call them back from the normal number and the sound quality was drastically improved.
I guess most people getting this don't really use its call/text services anyway. Tmobile's plan can also send/receive text, but no call.
I think the Costco plan gives you more premium data (60gb) vs their normal plan. And you can keep the basically $30 per line if buying by the year for the higher data plan
