This Mint Mobile bundle pairs a 256GB Pixel 11 with 12 months of unlimited service, and the strongest draw is the low upfront price for a new-customer phone and plan combo. The phone is described as factory unlocked or automatically unlockable after 60 days of Mint service, with eSIM activation starting that countdown. The main cautions are extra taxes and recovery fees, plus the need to meet Mint's new-customer rules. It is a better fit if you want the bundled service and can live with Mint's activation and unlock timing.
Common Questions (5)
The phone unlocks after 60 days of service or 60 days after eSIM activation. Once that period passes, it can be used on other carriers, and the unlock can be requested without extra cost.
Yes. After the 60-day unlock period, the phone can be used anywhere, and the eSIM can be transferred to another device or carrier. One report also says the phone arrived unlocked out of the box and could transfer an eSIM immediately.
Yes, if Mint treats you as a new customer again after a service lapse. A reported workaround is to let service lapse, use a different browser, email, and credit card, and avoid porting your old number.
Recovery fees and taxes can raise the total cost, and the final price can vary by state. One buyer said the deal came to about $627 after taxes and fees.
Yes, a Pixel bought through Mint can reportedly have its bootloader unlocked once the phone is carrier-unlocked. That matters for users who want custom ROMs or other advanced modifications.

So whatever that total price is, you get the Google Pixel 11 and 12 months unlimited mint mobile for $640 or so?
How much would it cost if you buy the Google Pixel 11 yourself? It's $899 and tax so about $990? If that's the case, isn't this a good deal if you want this phone? Because normally when they give you a free phone, you have to sign up for a year or two with some ridiculous high monthly fee? Even if you buy this phone yourself unlocked and sign up for 12 months of mint mobile unlimited if they have that promotion of $180 and tax, isn't this deal going to be much better? Because buying this phone costs $990 already... then another $180 and tax so say $200 at least. That would be $1190 compared to $640 here?
I'm confused why people are asking how long is it locked with Mint Mobile for and people say 2 months. Why would that matter since you are getting the Mint Mobile plan for a year so during that year, well your phone already is unlocked after 2 months? So when the 1 year plan ends, you can choose any other carrier to change if you want right? Or after your 1 year plan ends, you need to pay another 2 months more with Mint Mobile before it unlocks?
So this is a locked Mint Mobile phone. But you are going to use their Mine Mobile service for a year right since that is included? So essentially you are getting this phone as a huge discount compared to the retail price? Or is there something missing here? So if it costs total around $640, even if you were to sign up for the 12 month $180 plan when Mint Mobile has that deal again and say it costs $200, well you are essentially paying $440 for this phone compared to $990? Is that correct?
Comparing the price with last year is like apples and oranges. The overall prices of all phones has gone up. To me it's not worth an upgrade but for someone new, definitely yes. Of course there might be some better deal slightly later. But not by a lot. FYI last year the original deal from Mint was the best from Mint; the phones were all sold out after some time; there were similar deals from other carriers but there was no further deal after that from Mint. But this year, I think there might be a better deal as there's going to be lots of phones left unsold.
Just a note that I was able to unlock it by talking to them soon after getting it. I needed to activate a foreign eSIM for travel.
The one year with Mint is due some month. I am going with Tello or US mobile as I do not need more than 3GB per month.

Given the RAM shitshow we are having, it is a good deal.

does that also mean I have 45 days to return the phone or only 45 days to return the sim ?
this was the answer I received the the mint Ai assistant
If you buy a phone from Mint Mobile and don't activate it, you have up to 45 days from your purchase date to activate it or start a return. If you do activate, you have 7 days from activation for a return.
For full details, check the Mint Mobile Return Policy. Would you like help with anything else about buying a phone?

this is what I got from google search

You have 45 days from the date of purchase or from when you receive your SIM card/eSIM to activate your Mint Mobile plan. [1, 2]
