My new Pixel 9 is now carrier unlocked and OEM/bootloader unlocked.

The discussion with Mint customer service rep yesterday resulted in a trouble ticket being assigned to the "backend office". I was told I'd "receive an e-mail within 24-48 hours".

Late this morning (less than 24 hours after the ticket was issued) the new phone had a notification that the phone was carrier unlocked.

Under Developer Options the OEM unlocking was immediately selectable--I need this for installing the after-market ROM, but this bootloader unlocking is tied to the carrier unlocking.

Soon thereafter I received another notification: "No service" and "Selected network (Mint) unavailable". That may be due to the fact that I had previously deselected "Automatically select network" in settings. So I selected the "Choose network" option and then selected "Mint" (the only option since I hadn't changed Sims) and a few seconds later I was back in business.

I never received the e-mail from the backend office, but everything seems to be working.

To answer a couple other questions folks have asked: My understanding is that this is a permanent carrier unlocking. I believe I'd told the Mint customer service rep (Kylah) that I was going to be going on international travel (as the excuse for needing it carrier unlocked right away). I had paid for a year of service along with the phone. The fact that the service is already fully paid-for is one of the requirements you need to meet for them to unlock your phone right away. I ordered Tuesday of last week and received it via FedEx on Friday. I had used an eSim for the Mint service on this phone. I'm a brand new customer of Mint, but I don't think that should matter.

If I receive an e-mail from the backend office and it contributes any additional information I'll post a follow-up message.

I'd actually ported-in a burner phone number to this service. So after I load GrapheneOS, I'm going to switch numbers (port-in) so my new phone has my main phone number. Hopefully that will take less time and I'll get less of a run-around doing that.

Good luck!

That's amazing ! I just logged into my account and went to new phones and it showed it for $299!

Below is my order breakdown:

Nice!

Wasn't expecting to upgrade my phone but at this price its a no brainer for a better finger print sensor!

Is the service the same as metro?
Cant comments about Metro, but Mint service is practically unusable in crowded areas. The deprioritizing of data is highly evident.

For existing customers, does the 60 days active service still apply? Also Mint no longer ships esim capable phones with physical sim cards correct?
Hi. I just logged into mintmobile website with my account and went to deals on top. There you can see the pixel bundle, but when you click it, the price shows 299. I put in my order 10 mins ago. Revisited again and I see the same price still to add to cart.

Why is this (and the other s24fe comment) getting downvoted so hard?

Is the P9 much better than the s24fe?

Is it because this thread is about the P9, not the s24fe?

Or some other reason?
Good question… I was merely saying how I did not like the pixel…mint was fine but disliked the pixel… you may be right

I hope to hear some answers...I was going to go with s24fe until I saw this thread, but might switch to P9 if it's a much better phone...?

Had this same thing going on with mine. Contacted customer service via chat and they gave me my order number which never showed up on my email. With this you can track it (Google "mint order status"). Now it finally says it'll arrive on Monday.
I got four emails after buying the $30/3 mo. plan but never got any email after buying the phone. And the phone still isn't showing on my account.

BUT, I got a shipping email today with a Monday delivery ETA.

Received shipping email this morning for my existing customer order placed on 11/27.
What was the total amount they charged? I see some mention it was like 525 due to fees and stuff.

Patience... I ordered on 11/26 (existing Mint user via the link I posted on page 10, which unfortunately now asks for a plan purchase). On 11/27, I received a Mint email saying "Your Mint order has been received!" 3 hours after that, I received an email saying my order shipped via FedEx from CA. Estimated delivery is Monday 12/2 to NH.

This is a good deal. Better fingerprint sensor, better screen resolution, better camera, better battery, 7 year update window over the Pixel 7. And more "enhanced" trade in value for next year!

$299 for a flagship phone, are you kidding?
How much was the total amount? I see someone mentioned it was around 525 due to fees and taxes.

Are you still able to see it for 299? If yes, where ? I don't see it in the app from buy new phone area.
In app, account-->shop new phone→on top menu "home>phone deals", click "home" then scroll down, you will see the phone. Click it the price changes to 299. Just verified.

I see they also had a deal on the 8 pro but already out of stock and only 128Gb. :./ And $550, still a bit steep I feel.

Even though I wanted a pro, and at least 256Gb, at this price it was hard to not go with it, the pro would have been 70% more. Maybe once the 10 is out I can trade in for a pro, right now Google doesn't seem to take the 9 in yet.
