## 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.

"If I'm a current Mint Mobile subscriber, can I trade in a phone that's locked to Mint Mobile?
If the phone is fully paid off, you can still trade it in"

Although, I think that may indicate a different feature - whether the bootloader can be, or is, unlocked - not whether the device is Carrier Unlocked.
If I use the "My Pixel" app:
My Pixel app > Support > Google Pixel 10 View More > Device details > Device
=> "Pixel 10 Obsidian 128GB (T-Mobile)"
I also have a Pixel 6a, that I got from Xfinity Mobile, which eventually unlocked it, and it currently does not contain a SIM.
My Pixel app > Support > Google Pixel 6a > Device details > Device
=> "Pixel 6a 128GB Charcoal (Unlocked)"
I don't know what the difference of "T-Mobile" for my Pixel 10 vs. "Unlocked" for my Pixel 16a indicates, if anything.
What does your "My Pixel" app say about your Pixel 10?

If someone else has got their Pixel 10 unlocked already by Mint, and is running regular Android, I would be interested in what your My Pixel app reports for your device. Especially if you have installed another non-Mint/non-T-Mobile eSIM, but also if you are still using Mint on the Pixel 10.

And there's this from google: If you need to check for a carrier SIM lock instead, manually disable "Automatically select network" under Settings > Network & internet > SIMs to see if multiple carrier networks appear.
I tried this and it never fully turned off and only shows mint as a network. I guess the my pixel app report means nothing. Like you said, maybe someone with a fully unlocked Mint P10 can chime in. I will find out in 5 more weeks.
