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!
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!

When I get the new phone, I can transfer the eSim to the new phone, but can I also port my current number to it? Or am I stuck with the new number for 60 days?
It seems the phone is currently OOS now.....
Anyone else who is trying to do this as a current customer, click this link, add to cart, click menu in upper left and login. It will take you to your account page. Click menu again and select "Shop New Phones" you should see the item in your cart, and check out.
Thanks for your help!
Ideally, I would like to take the SIM card out of my Pixel 3 XL, put it in my Pixel 9, and then use that for the next month - the last month of my AT&T yearlong plan. My understanding is the this Pixel 9 needs to be unlocked for that to happen, no? Can I wait till my AT&T plan is finished to begin my one year plan that I purchased through MM? Or does the MM Pixel 9 need to be on an active MM plan in order to do the unlock?
The 60 day unlock timer will not start until the the day the phone has been first activated on mint.
Keep in mind there is a time restriction on activating paid for mint mobile plans, after which the paid for plan becomes invalid and they will not issue you a refund.

Can anyone share steps to activate it.
I think it would be helpful for a lot of people.
