Placed order Tuesday and still no shipping notice but no cancellation.

I see from other threads this isn't uncommon from Mint, but is anyone else having this issue?

After sitting "In Processing" for ten business days, I finally gave up and cancelled the order.

Mint support admitted just because you can order the phone doesn't mean they actually have the device in one of their warehouses.

I hope everyone else had better luck with their order.

Bought one and traded in my pixel 10 pro. They gave me 519 for my old phone which I bought for 499 last year from mint
do these phones usually have good resale value a year or two later?

Anyone knows if the 12 months serive is tied to the device. I want to keep the phone, but if possible would like to pass the 12 month mint mobile service to a buddy who is willing to pay $100 for it. Tia.

Would anyone be willing to help? I am currently with Mint and my plan renews in 2 days(!). Is there any possible way I could take advantage of this deal? The porting in and out, Google voice, and churning prepaid posts are overwhelming. 😅 Should I sign up with Visible for 3 months then come back and see if Mint has new customer deals then? Or just suck it up and renew my Unnecessary plan with Mint for $480 and try harder/do more research next year?
I'd love a new phone (I have an s21+) but I don't need a new phone right now, this one still works fine. TIA!!

If he doesn't have Tmobile network service, port-in his #.

Placed an order for s26 256gb + unlimited 12 month plan on Friday, phone shipped on Monday and got delivered on Wednesday. Came out like $632. 400 phone + 180 service + 27 taxes + 25 mint mobile "recovery fee".

Spent maybe 10mins transfering number and activating, had some hiccup with setting up a password, but got thru. Seems good so far

Similar thing happened to me. It's been a few weeks and they haven't sent my phone back.

I'm going to do this in a few days, just curious what provider did you transfer to?

I've used AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Ultra, Mint and Tello. Of these, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile had by far the worst pricing and service, which, for me, was no different from Mint, Tello, and Ultra. Comparable coverage in my areas. YMMV. I pay less for 12 months of service with Ultra than I paid for 2 months of service with T-Mobile.
