## Important:
This deal includes a **locked, eSIM-only Pixel 10, a new Mint Mobile line, and 12 consecutive months of service**. It is a phone-and-service bundle, not a collection of separate promotions that can be rearranged however you want.
The included eSIM must be activated **within 45 days of purchase**. You cannot store it indefinitely and activate it years later.
You may activate the included Mint eSIM on another compatible phone and use the new Mint number there. However, you **cannot use the 12 months to extend or "top off" an existing Mint plan while keeping your current Mint number**. This offer creates a new line unless you port in an eligible number from another carrier.
The Pixel itself must be activated on Mint before its 60-day unlock period begins. The safest option is to activate the eSIM on the Pixel and keep it active there for the full 60 days. If you activate the service only on another phone, the Pixel may remain locked because it never completed the required activation period.
For example, you should not expect to:
* Move your existing Mint number onto this promotion as a renewal
* Transfer the new number to an old phone or landline and still have the Pixel automatically unlock
* Divide the 12-month plan into twelve one-month plans and sell them separately
* Wait beyond the 45-day activation deadline
* Save the activation for years or decades
* Combine the deal with every other Mint discount, referral or promotion
If you move the eSIM away from the Pixel before it completes the unlock process, the phone may remain locked until it has been activated on Mint for the required period.
While locked, the Pixel should work with Mint and may also work with T-Mobile, although that is not guaranteed. It can also be used as a Wi-Fi-only device for Google Voice, other VoIP services, messaging, music, video, email and Android apps.
**Bottom line:** If you think there's some sneaky way to extend an existing Mint like, or immediately unlock the phone, or resell it for more then it might work - but it's not really part of this pretty good deal.

So, I'm not saying it won't unlock at 60 days automatically, but they might make the argument that you have to wait for the 1 year service agreement/finance plan to be fulfilled.

Maybe we have someone that's been through a similar situation to chime in.

Financing implies you owe money on the product and you're slowly paying it off by making monthly payments.
So if you pick Affirm? Yes it's probably not going to unlock after 60 days. However if you're paying the $375 total upfront. It's unlocked in 60 days. Though I have no idea how this eSim stuff works concerning transferring service to new device.
1) how long is this deal good for?
2) once you use up the 20GB of hotspot, does it cut you off or throttle it down to 3G speeds? how much extra is it to buy additional GB of hotspot?

As all deals. Could last theoretically forever or be gone in 10 minutes. Apparently though this was available last week and they restocked it.
Hotspot full stops. On the unlimited plan (which if getting this deal obviously should pick) it's $15 for 5gb or $20 for 10gb extra Hotspot data. The other plans is 1gb for $10 or 3gb for $20.
