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.

So Just the unlimited for me was $207 after taxes and their $25.xx recovery fee. So not $20/mo, but $17.25 out the door.... $480+tax with a Pixel 10 is slick
But after 1 year Mint will charge you double if you continue the plan, I have 4 months leftovers

Been using mint for years. If you're paying more and using another service, you're just a sucker.
After 1 year you have to wait for a month to get the same deal otherwise you will end up paying double...

The renewal + the upfront additional fees is where they get you, but all around a great deal

To all people who received their Pixel 10 from this deal, the 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? Looking to get another one if it's still factory unlocked like before.

How would you check for this once you receive it?

Same here.. That's what I liked about motorola edge plus phones. These other lowballers are giving people low space, no microSDMemory option, to pay for renting cloud service is quite the scumbag anti-consumer greed movement .

Use one of the following methods to check for factory unlocked:
  1. Use My Pixel App, look for "(Unlocked)" under "Device details."
  2. Bypass activation, connect to Wi-Fi, Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Setup and eSIM > it will show other carriers if unlocked.
  3. Try to activate other carrier eSIMs such as those free trials from T-Mobile, Verizon, Visible, Cricket, MobileX, etc.

Is it possible for current Mint customers to just buy the phone?
I did this a year ago with a pixel 9. I think I did it through the app. It never made me buy a plan.
