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!

- Getting this phone for $330 with a new phone number (so I don't need to port my existing number to Mint Mobile)?
- Unlocking the new Mint phone so I can use it with another carrier?
Thank you so much for your help!edit: just live chatted with Mint CS and was told there is no "black out period" after porting out of Mint for less than a month, and is able to take advantage of this deal and port back into Mint. Seems to be conflicting info after some searching SD. Can anyone comment on this? thank you.

Thank you so much for your help!1.) Purchased 3 month for $30 plan here https://www.mintmobile.
2.) Purchased Pixel for $299 from the link from this thread https://www.mintmobile.
**I had myself logged in my account on the mint website on one tab and opened this link in a separate tab to show the $299 price without adding another plan
3.) After phone received I transferred eSIM to the Pixel (probably not necessary). I chatted with Mint customer service last night advising I need phone unlocked for international trip next week and they provided a case number for the request. Received unlock notification on the phone as well as via text from them about a hour and a half later

In step 1, I activated my 3 month plan and was able to create an account password in the next step. I then proceeded to your step 2 without installing the eSIM (since my old phone does not have eSIM compatibility) and I was able to place the order for the phone for $299+tax.
I hope they don't cancel my order. I'll report back about the unlock after I get the phone and chat with customer service. Thanks again for your help, sir!

One thing to note, I was having an issue with the Pixel wanting me to add a plan even though I was activated and logged in. Turned out my ad blocker was interfering. As soon as I turned it off, got the ability to buy just the phone with no plan.
my timeline.
already had mint and been a user for 5 years so just ordered it. got the phone.
moved esim over and activated (not sure this was necessary). moved esim back to my other phone as I plan to use pixel 9 with a non mint sim for my work phone (have at&t for this)
went on the chat and asked for an unlock for my christmas overseas trip.
very nice CSR took my imei and order numbers.
took about 20 hours, but got the unlock
just tried at&t sim, works
The OEM unlocking in developer mode will be clickable from greyed out.
