I'm on day two and my order is stuck in limbo. No update from Mint.
Took 3 days from the initial " We are reviewing your order" to having tracking.

For anyone wondering if the phone is unlocked, It 100% is, I purchased the sky blue 256gb s26 and just got it today, it was bubble wrapped in the retail packaging and It is the Factory Unlocked U1 model with the XAA csc.

So was the pixel 10 pro xl from Mint but once you insert their sim, it gets locked.

Can also confirm the phone appears to be unlocked for me. Tried Verizon and T-Mobile sims and didn't get a message saying the phone was network locked.

Have not put in the Mint Mobile SIM yet so don't know if it will lock after that.

How much did you pay for the p10xl? Consider total cost.

The way it did was. I bought a pixel 10a from boost mobile for 160. I'm trading that in for $300.
Cost breakdown:
$630 with tax for the s26 + 160 with tax for pixel 10a = $790 - 300 (trade in value) = $490. Plus im going to try to sell the 1 year of mint. So hopefully i can save another $50 to $100 from that.

You can get a huge discount if you call them before your renewal is due.
