Mint Mobile slashes all plans to $15/month after Google Pixel phones disappear
▼ Summary
– Mint Mobile is offering a limited-time deal that reduces all its plans to $15 per month, with no specified end date.
– The discount applies to 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month plans, requiring upfront payments of $45, $90, or $180 respectively.
– The offer is only available to new customers for their initial plan term, though renewal at the same rate is possible for longer terms.
– Mint Mobile has unexpectedly run out of Google Pixel phones to sell, with no stock or “out of stock” notice on its website.
– The Pixel shortage may be due to upcoming new device releases, and customers can still use a Pixel bought elsewhere on Mint.
Mint Mobile has brought back one of its most aggressive promotions, slashing every plan to just $15 per month. The timing, however, is a bit awkward: the carrier has suddenly removed all Google Pixel phones from its online store.
Prepaid carriers like Mint already offer significant savings over traditional postpaid plans, but this deal makes the value even harder to ignore. For a “limited time” (no specific end date has been announced), new customers can grab any plan, including Unlimited data, for the equivalent of $15 per month. That works out to $180 for a full year of service, a fraction of what you would pay on major networks.
The main catch is that this is a new customer offer. You do not have to commit to a full year upfront, though. The discount applies to the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month plan options. After your initial term ends, Mint allows you to renew with a longer plan at the same promotional rate, keeping the savings alive.
Here is the fine print: you must pay upfront, with costs of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for 12 months (all averaging $15 per month). Taxes and fees are extra, and full-price plans apply after the initial term.
The awkward twist comes for Pixel fans. Mint has been selling Google Pixel devices for several years, even offering aggressive deals on models like the Pixel 10. But now, the “Google phones” section on Mint’s website is completely empty. There is not even an “out of stock” notice.
With Google expected to launch new Pixel models within the next month, it is plausible that Mint is simply clearing inventory ahead of a fresh release. We have reached out to Mint for clarification.
In the meantime, you can still buy a Pixel from another retailer and bring it to Mint. The $15/month plan deal remains a strong option regardless of which phone you choose.
