The A36 was $230 for the phone and plan. Pixel 9 was also a great deal. The A16 is trash.

It's like getting their new customers unlimited plan for $180 and paying $15 extra for the phone.
Great price point.

Am I seeing correctly that this device only gets two 5G bands? Is that a big drawback?

Mint's website shows $330 for A36 with one year of service. Was yours an old deal?

Recovery fee is charged by carrier to pay for federal and local fees. It is paid by carrier to external entities. Some people report $25 recovery fee on the Mint Mobile 12m plan, but it depends on location. The amount will show up on the final checkout page.

Can you switch phones on the plan? I just want the trash phone as a trade in and don't care about it being unlocked.

Anyone ordered this or know the amount of RAM on the phone? The Mint site doesn't say whether it's the 4GB, 6 GB, or 8GB model.

You can always switch phones by moving the SIM card to another phone.
