Seems like it's a pretty good deal since the $299 sale on Amazon a while ago was popular. Colors currently in stock are Black, White & Purpleish.

Mine came out to $309 (tax included) with free shipping.

    Good to see a nice durable plastic bodied phone again. The all glass trend looks nice but is ridiculous.

    I have a oneplus 6T that on paper is way faster than this, I bought it anyways and between the 2, I find myself using the 3a XL much more.

    Pretty close to costco's recent sale price, but limited to activating only on Sprint/ AT&T/ and Verizon to get the cheapest price:

    Do you know if this is the cheapest unlocked (without activation) sale price though? It's the best I've seen, but I only started searching this week.

    Looks like for me it would be addtl $20/mo with ATT. $250 after tax, plus that $20/mo.

    If it can be canceled I'm at $270.. Might be easier to just pay 280 and activate later.

    Got the Pixel 3a unlocked activated on Sprint black Friday for 199.99. ( seems now it is 179.99 with this deal ) When you buy an unlocked phone you get half off mint 3 month 8gb plan ( they don't carry 12gb in store ) Put the phone on a Sprint Kickstart plan and when I got home just ported out to mint. Sprint has a guarantee with service and wasn't charged anything. ( But did have a hard credit pull since I brought my number from Verizon )

    Is there a downside in purchasing it as an upgrade to a Sprint line
