This Mint Mobile bundle pairs a Pixel 9 with a year of unlimited talk, text, and data, and the strongest appeal is getting a new phone and service for under $400. The Pixel can be resold after the unlock period, which can make the service cost feel nearly free, and the phone also brings Satellite SOS and physical SIM support. The main catches are the 128 gigabyte storage, the one year Mint lock, and reports that activation may be limited to new lines with a 45 day activation window. It is a practical value play if the storage and carrier lock are acceptable.

  • The deal can effectively reduce service cost when reselling the Pixel after a short trial period.

  • Mint ordering reportedly gives a 45-day window to activate the service and phone.

  • The purchase flow reportedly may allow completing the deal without entering a phone number or having a Mint account.

  • The phone can fit tight budgets when Satellite SOS is needed for driving in areas without cell signal.

  • The 128GB storage can feel too small after data migration and loading, which can limit practical use.

  • The Pixel 9 can remain locked to Mint for an extended period, with bootloader unlock reportedly occurring about 60 days after activation.

  • The Pixel 9 camera can struggle in low-light, with over-sharpening and weaker portrait edge detection.

  • The deal may be limited to new lines, since existing accounts can show the phone at full price.

Seems Mint has really turned their back on deals for existing customers this year.

Is there any time frame to activate the line or does it need to be done right after the order?
I believe it needs to be activated within 45 days

Nice find. Might be only for new lines, because when I log into my existing account, the phone is full price 799.
Thanks for letting us know.

As existing custome , could you order this deal without logging in then use the sim card to renew your plan and flip the phone?
I'm not sure. But I don't have a mint mobile account. I was able to do this deal without even entering a phone number.

Quote from Ashwani-KumarA View quoted comment :
This is last year's deal. Get Pixel 10 pro xl deal instead
I agree. 🤗 The Pixel 10 Pro is a better deal, if you can afford the price difference. I looked into the GP 10's, but we just couldn't swing the money for any of those right now. We are on a really tight budget. My daughter is a firm Android user. This was the cheapest way I was able to get her a phone that has Satellite SOS. She often drives and works in areas with no cell signal. My Mama Heart was very grateful to able to find something we could afford, so I can have some piece of mind.

I will avoid pixel phone especially pixel 9. Bought it seeing overhyped reviews. At night time and low light situations the camera struggles. It over sharpens everything. Edges of portrait is worse. It struggles to detect edges of the subject. Pictures are heavily software dependent and too much of processing happens after picture is taken. Get a samsung or iphone for decent pics.
say what? The 9a, 9, 10 on up crush anything except the much more expensive Samsung S cameras. DXO proves the point. That and the OS system on the Pixels are much more desirable.

Sorry but obligory gripe 128 gigs That probably ends up being less than 100 after a conservative load and completely full after a data migration.... Granted Google's got it scheme like Apple to sell the monthly cloud storage subscription as well but still more on board storage is required in 25, Even 256 gig is marginal...
Buy the original Pixel. transfer pics and upload to google photos. It's been a year or so since I have needed to offload my oneplus 9, so I am assuming that Google hasn't closed this loophole. but who knows.

Is it possible to switch to a different provider and then switch back to Mint and activate with this deal?

I am planning Pixel 10XL , will it come with any bloatware or just plain vanilla. I had iPhones and Pixel 3a from Google and they both dont have any bloat ware.

Mint Experts, please assist. If the phone contains bloatware, I will definitely pass it..

Not the current model, low capacity, not a very good phone but locked for one year.

This has been a deal I've been waiting for for a few months. I'd like a few more gigglebytes so I may wait to see what else comes up next week.
