I believe last year they ran this deal with the regular 10.... Then closer to BF you could get the pro for the same price. I got the pro last year with mint.

Recovery fees and taxes can push this deal from good to average depending on your state

This Pixel 11 and 12 month Mint Unlimited bundle stands out for the low upfront price on a 256GB phone and service, with the 256GB tier looking especially strong versus the higher storage option. The main appeal is that the phone unlocks after 60 days of activation, and the bootloader can be unlocked once carrier unlock is complete. Taxes and recovery fees can raise the total, Mint uses the T Mobile network, and activation must happen within 45 days. The trade in offer is also far below Best Buy or Google, so the value depends on how much you want Mint service and the Pixel itself.

  • The unlock countdown for the Pixel eSIM reportedly starts after activation and can begin transferring service afterward.

  • The phone can reportedly unlock after about 60 days without additional steps for prior Mint deal Pixels.

    hyhnos13goferv

  • The 256GB pricing tier is described as more attractive than higher storage options in the same deal context.

    4SKZ8

  • The deal can reportedly be timed to qualify as a new Mint customer by letting service lapse and avoiding number porting.

    VincentN

  • The phone may be locked to Mint for about 60 days, which can affect plans for selling the device or plan immediately.

    TokarLionell

  • Recovery fees and taxes can increase the total cost and reduce the deal's attractiveness depending on the buyer's state.

    Obeezy_87

  • Activation timing constraints can limit when the deal can be used, including a 45-day activation window.

    jms209

  • GrapheneOS is reportedly not supported on the Pixel 11 and may not be supported in the future.

This is a good deal. The question everyone isn't asking is how long do you have to stay with Mint to have the phone unlocked? This is a no go if it is locked to Mint Mobile or you have to stay for an additional year to get it unlocked
Their help page says it's 60 days, unless I missed some fine print in their detailed policy,

How to unlock the phone? Can I use plan in my. IPhone and get pixel as kids phone?
Once you activate the eSIM on the Pixel, the unlock countdown begins. Then, you can transfer the eSIM to the iPhone.

I think Mint allows you to unlock after a few months.

This is a Troy Horse: you. buy the deal for the phone and then stick to the service because is very good for the money.
Seriously, don't do it!
(I have been using Mint from 2017,occasionally hopping out to profit of phone deals and quickly coming back as soon as I could)

Mine too. Around 58 days it seemed. This P10 I'm using was only $365 with tax and a year unlimited back in July. I don't feel like the p11 deal is better.

Same question, but mine expires on Dec 22.
Was hoping to port over around Dec 18, but don't think that will work with this?
