I'm considering porting my main line over from Visiblr to Mint for a year. I don't use much data on it since I have a free unlimited data line on T-Mobile for my family.

Does anyone know if I can stick the Mint eSIM into my iPhone and put a $45 3 month Mint SIM card into the Pixel 9 to get it to unlock in 60 days?

did anyone get this to work with the 7 days free trial?
I just tried it. It doesn't work. You don't get an account with the trial.

Quote from Neurobomber :
I had the same situation and they told me I need to return the original order (and pay for shipping) to get a refund and then I can order it again.
They told me I couldn't even do that as cancelling would mean losing my number and you need to port one to take advantage of the promo. Super unfortunate timing.

Looks like they only have a 7 day return policy...

I'm on a grandfathered 2-line plan with Verizon. Is it possible for me to suspend 1 of the 2 lines with Verizon for couple of months, get a new number with Mint, buy the phone for 299$ and then unlock the phone and cancel plan after couple of months, and use the new phone on my original Verizon line? Thanks.

Yes - I am an existing customer and ordered on Monday, and received that message when I submitted. I got an email 24 hours later (yesterday) that they had received my order, and so I am assuming/hoping that it is going through.

It could be because I paid with PayPal, so maybe there are different checks on addresses? It doesn't help that the order doesn't show in the 'transaction history', but I remember that was also the case when I first signed up for Mint ... just the plan purchases show up.
And just got notice of shipment - on it's way shake head

I tried this approach and it worked. You can order the three month plan online with promo code "Freemonth" for 36$, however it may take 2-3 days if you order a physical sim, better option is buy it in Best Buy for $48 and activate it. Once you activate and login, then click on the pixel product link specified in several comments here. Now you would see just the phone for $299. For me it costed $299 plus $22tax plus $48 plan from Best Buy, I paid the $$321 with chase freedom using PayPal which gives 5% cashback and I paid the 3 month plan in Best Buy with gift card I bought for 7% discount from card cookie using my BofA rewards card which gives 3% for online. With all the cashback my net cost is $345. Good luck
Why didn't you purchase the same 3-month plan directly from Mint which only $30 and choose eSIM. Then activate it and log into Mint's website to purchase the phone at $300 instead of going through the loop via BestBuy at higher price ($45)?

I went the sim kit route. Target has the 20 gb 3 month plan for 30 dollars. Used a very old phone to setup and got a number issued by mint didn't port. Messed around on the website until I got it to recognize my account was logged in and it gave me the 299.99 price. The app wasn't working for me. Hopefully it ships!

It probably won't affect you but I will share with you anyway since you asked. The US version does not have the cellular bandwidth support of all 4g bands. The US version Pixel 9 (and other previous Pixels) is missing the Band39 for LTE and N79 for 5G to be specific. So it won't work for some carriers outside the US that uses primarily the Band39 and N79.

See version comparision below:

Ooooh the pro is missing it too, I thought it had all. Why do they do that? It's annoying.

Some people have had luck with the app instead of the website.

Just got 2 of them as a current customer of Mint. So what is the process? Just stick the SIM into the new phone and we're good to go?

My order from this morning (9am EST) just got marked as shipped - have a FedEx 2 day tracking number, shipping from CA.

Now time to figure out how to get it unlocked. I guess the safest thing is to move my existing Mint esim to the Pixel, let it sit in a drawer for 60 days, then check to see if it's unlocked.

I am an existing customer and I don't see the Pixel 9 listed at all if I log in - either from the website or the app.

I was able to find it using the direct link that people have posted.
