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.

Man if cricket worked in my area I would get one.
I'm very confused by your comment. Mint runs on the T-Mobile network.

Gotcha..... Cricket on the other hand runs on At&t. So are you saying only Verizon and US Cellular work in your area?

unfortunately Verizon is dominant here, as for US cellular, not too sure.

The website also says $500 off the Pixel 10 Pro, but the pricing on the site does not seem to reflect this:
https://www.mintmobile.com/device.../10709451/
Saw that too.
I think the $500 off the 10 Pro is from that last promotion they had and someone was too lazy to update it. The $275 off from the main phone page does reflect the current pricing.
I am hoping that the 10Pro promoting do come back as I want to get the 10 Pro instead of the 10.

Is it possible to use this phone on wifi and use mint mobile service on another phone and still get it unlocked after 60 days?

Been with Mint for over 2 years now and nothing but a positive experience here. I get gigabit speeds on the tower near my home. I'm paying for the $20 per month plan (15 GB). Previously, I was with Verizon and was paying $90 per month and only got 1 or 2 bars of signal at my home.
There are so many better deals than $20 for 15GB

Can someone please tell me if this would work for me:
My kid has an unlocked iPhone but will need a new plan in a few days.
I'm currently with Mint and my $15/mo contract is for another 8 months but I'm happy and want to stay.
Can I buy this and put my kid on this plan and keep the Pixel on my account? Or does it need to be activated with the new phone and used with this phone all year?
Can I activate the new plan on the new phone and then basically transfer that newly activated phone to my line?
Would that work?

Shhhh. Let him keep believing that he got a better deal. We need some people to take one for the team to upkeep the economy.
There's a lot of people that don't understand this. But don't be so quick to judge. There's also some that are grandfathered or got in on some nice offers in last 2 years. I don't have the best, but definitely not the worse. 10 lines+home internet+credit card fee =$215. +$25 eip for 8 iPhones and 1 pixel upgrade i got for cheap/free in the last few months with trading in old/broken phones.

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.
how can i do this now?
