It's 2025 and I still recommend the Pixel 9 at Mint Mobile with a massive $400 discount

One of my favorite cell phone deals right now has to be on the Google Pixel 9 at Mint Mobile, where the device is just $399 (was $799) alongside a new plan.

While a plan is required, the massive $400 discount on the phone is enticing as Mint will also throw in a year of unlimited data for just $15/mo. That's under half price and a total saving of $180 – alongside the massive amount you're already saving on the phone.

Mint Mobile's current promotion on the Google Pixel 9 is one of the best prepaid phone deals you'll find anywhere right now. You can get a massive $400 discount on this excellent flagship as well as one full year of unlimited data for just $15/mo. Overall, this is a great plan and phone combo, although note that the Pixel 9 did briefly go down to just $299 over Black Friday. Still, this is an amazing deal that's hard to beat.

As previously stated, this Mint Mobile deal is a good choice if you're looking to break away from extremely pricey unlimited plans at the major carriers. While this deal's plan discount only covers a year, Mint Mobile is still one of the best prepaid plans on the market right now with an unlimited plan that costs just $30/mo when you pay for a year upfront.

As with many other cheap cell phone plans, Mint Mobile operates a buy-in-bulk payment system where the plans average out cheaper if you buy a longer-term upfront. While three and six-month plans are available, I highly recommend getting a full year at a time to get that super-cheap rate.

Of course, with today's deal, you get a full year of service at half-price so it's a fantastic way to try out Mint Mobile on the cheap (and bag a super-cheap device, too).
