Xfinity Mobile Customers: 128GB Google Pixel 4a 5G Smartphone (Just Black) EXPIRED

Quote from nitgul : 250$ off on Google Pixel 4a (5G) Instant off, No bill credits. New as well as existing Xfinity mobile customers are eligible. Option to pay one time 249.99 or in 24 equal installments of 10.41 pm. https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/sh...p_pixel250

Is this a good deal? Seems to be with no bill credits to deal with, etc.

So we would be able to port over a number to this if we wanted to?

Also do you know if you have to have a 5g XM plan? I'm grandfathered in on the old plan. Not sure if I could keep that plan with this phone or not? I thought I read that this isn't any faster than 4G as it's not the UW 5G?

Thanks,

I think you should be able keep the existing plan with the 5G phone. My wife upgraded to iphone 12 pro max and is still on 4G plan with no issues at all.

Any commitments to get the pay-in-full price?

Ok thanks for the info. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway and rarely use data so I might as well save the $3.00 per month, lol. I'm still rocking the LG phone I got for $1.00 from XM going on (4) years ago when they first launched. It hasn't gotten updates in quite sometime so this will be a bit of an upgrade for me.

Thinking I might port over an elderly relatives number too from Cricket and just put her on my acct. She uses no data and is spending $30 per month at Cricket.

Does anyone know how it would work if I ordered this phone and wanted to port over a number from Cricket? I would be adding the number from Cricket to my existing XM account. It looks like when I log into my XM account it will ask me about transferring over a number. If I enter that info online does that process start happening immediately or will I initiate the port once I receive the phone? This would be for an elderly relative and I would have to go to her to switch out the phones, etc?

Just wondering how the XM port process works?

Thanks,

Is this a better deal than Google Fi's deal?

Slick price for the Pixel 4a 5G. No port required, no waiting for a GC, and no monthly bill credits. This is a no brainer if u already have XM service! You must have Xfinity Internet service to use Xfinity Mobile.

to open new acc needs a credit pull? also is it unlocked?

Is this locked? What's the catch?

You have to pay in full before XM will unlock.

Here's their policy, you have to be an Xfinity home internet customer in case you didn't know. I'm here because it set off my alert for Pixel and I wanted to check it out.

So I assume you need to pay for two months service.
