What's the catch with these deals?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking at the Mint Mobile device deals (https://www.mintmobile.com/devices/), specifically bundling a new phone like the Galaxy S26/S26 Ultra with the 12-month Unlimited plan to get the instant savings.
Before I pull the trigger, I wanted to ask those who have bought a phone through Mint:
• What's the catch? Are there any hidden fees or strings attached to getting the advertised discount?
• Has anyone bought a device through them recently? Did you have any issues with activation or billing?
• What happens after 60 days? I know Mint's policy says phones are locked to their network initially. Do they reliably unlock the phone after the 60-day mark?
Would appreciate any warnings or real-world experiences. Thanks!
