Looking for a cheap (but good) phone with an unbeatable value plan? One of the best options this week is Mint Mobile's excellent deal on the Google Pixel 9.

Right now, this well-known prepaid carrier is offering the latest device from Google for just $399 (was $799) when you pick it up alongside a new plan. That's a massive $400 discount that doesn't need the usual trade-in criteria, unlike some cell phone deals at major carriers.

In addition to the discount on the device, Mint is also throwing in one full year of unlimited data for just $180, which is half the usual price for this particular plan. Averaging out at just $15/mo, this is easily one of the cheapest cell phone plans on the market right now for those who want a nice chunk of unlimited data. Combined, this deal includes a superb device and plan for just $580 in total.

Today's best Google Pixel 9 deal

Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $399, plus one year of unlimited data for $180 at Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile's current promotion on the Google Pixel 9 is one of the best prepaid phone deals you'll find anywhere right now. For a limited time only, 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 and one that's hard to beat.

It's a good time to consider Mint's unlimited data plan right now since the carrier has just lifted the 45GB 'hard cap' on its 5G data in favor of a more friendly 'soft cap'.

In short, your 5G data speeds will only be interrupted when you exceed 35GB of data and the local area is busy. Otherwise, it's 5G all the way for the entire month without even having to worry about your overall usage.

In addition to the featured promotion on the Google Pixel 9, this week's best Mint Mobile deals also include some great options for other devices. I've included a few more for you to check out below.
