Mint Mobile, the popular US prepaid carrier, has rolled out a promotion that cuts all its plans to $15 per month. The deal applies to new customers and covers 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month terms, including the unlimited plan. However, the announcement comes as Mint suddenly removed all Google Pixel phones from its online store, leaving Pixel fans without a direct purchase option.
Promotion details: all plans at a flat $15 per month
For a limited time with no specified end date, Mint Mobile is offering its entire plan lineup at $15 per month. This means a full year of service costs $180, a fraction of what major carriers charge. The prepaid requirement is the only catch: customers must pay upfront for the chosen term: $45 for 3 months, $90 for 6 months, or $180 for 12 months. The offer is exclusive to new customers for their initial term, but Mint allows renewals at the same rate for longer terms. This aggressive pricing undercuts many competitors and aims to attract budget-conscious users.

Why are Google Pixel phones missing?
Simultaneously, Mint Mobile's website no longer lists any Google Pixel devices. The section for Google phones still exists but displays no products, not even an out-of-stock notice. Mint has historically sold Pixel phones with discounts, even offering deals on the Pixel 10 series. The timing is strange, as Google is expected to launch new Pixel models within about a month. It is possible Mint is waiting for the next generation to restock. We reached out to Mint for comment but have not received a response yet.

Market implications and consumer alternatives
Mint's move could pressure other MVNOs to lower prices, intensifying competition in the prepaid market. For those wanting a Pixel, purchasing it unlocked from other retailers and using it on Mint remains a viable option. Meanwhile, similar shifts in the tech landscape are notable: Sam Altman proposes distributing OpenAI shares to Americans, and South Korean chip workers become sought-after singles due to AI bonuses. These stories, though unrelated, highlight the rapid evolution of digital services and hardware.
