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.
Can you give us a bit of info on that deal ? I looked at it and its wayyyyyy more money and your stuck with them for 2 years....not much better than the other big wigs in town !
how's the Pixel 10A?? I have Pixel 7, want to jump on those Mint Mobile deal for a better phone.
Agreed, skip the A models unless you plan on using it without a glass screen protector. I have the Pixel 7 too, gotta rock it bare front glass along fake face ID on to unlock consistently.

`Bought the 9 Pro XL 128 / 16 GB last year for $400 unlocked. 128 / 12 GB isn't enough for apps, new AI photo video and I'm only a light user 2 GB data per month. YMMV but for the same money or less I'd replace w another 9PXL before buying 10 standard w 12 MB RAM for multi-tasking and premium hardware despite the 10 having a G5 chip. 9PXL - larger higher resolution screen. Faster 37 watt 18 volt charging.
Better cameras on the P9PXL.
Choose P10 if the faster GPU and next gen AI are more important but you still have the older UFS 3.1 storage in the 128 GB variant.
If faster UFS 4.0 storage is more important then you want the P10 256 GB variant.
Has anyone had touch issue with new phone? I have to tap multiple times at the trip 1/8 and bottom 1/8th of the screen.
Not on the Pixel 10 Pro, but there might be differences in the screen between the P10 and P10P (I haven't really paid attention to anything other than the cameras being different that enough was a reason to go Pro for me).

Looks like you still haven't activated that plan you ordered on March 6, 2026. You only have 36 days until your SIM expires
