FYI I tried to do this exact deal in December as an existing customer. I checked thoroughly for any sort of new customer requirements, but I found none. I couldn't activate the 1 year of service and customer service insisted it is only when bringing in an outside number. I had to switch to Tello for 2 days, then I could activate the mint year and port my number back in.

The carriers that overcharge you for service often give the best "deals" on new phones. You wouldn't believe how many people think they're saving money.

I just went through this with the last P10 deal back in Nov with 2 of them. You have to activate it on the Mint network to start the 60 day unlock countdown. Once its active you don't have to keep the phone active* on Mint (more to come on this). You can move the eSIM to another phone (We used iPhones) and toss the P10 in a drawer to check on it in 60 days. At the 60 day mark to get the unlock "code or signal" the P10 has to be active on the Mint network again. So you will have to move the eSIM back to the P10 and wait for the unlock code. You might have to chat or call the Mint CS for them to send the unlock code and it can take 12-24hrs to get. With mine it took 6 hours and I got the text on the P10 that it was unlocked. I then moved the eSIM back to the iPhone and activated the P10 on a different network.

One of the huge problems you may run into. Mint is real restrictive on how many eSIMs you request in a 30 day period. If you go over 5 you account will be locked and you cannot get another eSIM for 30 days. If you try to request another eSIM in that 30 days it starts the 30 day wait/ban over. One of the lines had this happen and we couldn't move the Mint line off the now unlocked P10 back to the iPhone for 30 days. Not a big deal unless its for a teen and you are ruining their life by making them use an andriod for 30+ days.

Extra slick if you can find a trade in device. My 4a is not eligible.

How's the camera on the newer ones? Last one I compared to the iPhone was not even close. However, with Apple's recent political stuff, I am thinking of switching.

If you buy the phone, how long can you delay activating the phone?

Guessing they mean FCC henchman Carr's absurd claim about Apple news.

How trustworthy are Mint's coverage maps? They claim to have good coverage in the nearby town, and that I'll have good 4G coverage at home via "Partner", but the only carrier with good coverage is a regional carrier using Verizon tech.

Last time I bought Pixel10 from Mint and US Mobile, they came factory unlocked out of the box, despite both providers stating they were locked. Is it still the case right now? Anyone who bought Pixel 10 recently, please share your experience.

After the $25 recovery fee and tax, it's more like $20 a month for service. Decent deal still.
US mobile rates are inclusive of taxes and fees. I love them for this and their impeccable customer service. Mint mobile deals pale in comparison in isolation, but mint gives better overall phone bundle deals

Not to mention the locked status of the phones for that entire whacked out contract.

Not a bad deal I was able to do a trick w/ 3 month and P10PXL for a bit more and it was unlocked after 60 days. I had to contact them, they did not unlock immediately. The service was good I would have kept it but they wanted like $300 to renew and I just took my biz to visible for under $200 for the pro+ with much better international coverage.
can you explain this trick in more detail?

The website also says $500 off the Pixel 10 Pro, but the pricing on the site does not seem to reflect this:
