FYI, in the US at least, there are two Pixel 6 "standard (aka not Pro)" models; one with and one without mmWave.
Based on the specs on the Visible site and the price, it appears that they are selling the one without mmWave. (The mmWave is typically $100 more.)
The Pixel 6 from Verizon (or from Google for Verizon) has mmWave, as well as the Pixel 6 from AT&T.
The Pixel 6 from T-Mobile (or sold from Google as unlocked) does NOT have mmWave.
"Although mmWave 5G offers exponentially faster speeds than Sub-6GHz 5G, it's more limited in terms of range. That means a phone with mmWave 5G support will need to be located somewhat close to a 5G tower to truly enjoy those faster speeds. This may work in major metropolitan areas where there are multiple towers spread throughout the city, but it's less of a possibility in rural areas. Because of that, mmWave 5G rollout has been slow and it's available only in select cities."

I'm an existing customer so I figured I could port out my current number to Google Voice and then port in a different number to Visible and then just forward the GV number to the Visible number. But I need a number...

I used an eBay seller offering Boost Mobile portable numbers, was around $13-14.

No more pixel for me, use them as my personal backup since the first one came out --Terrible experience!
Not a question of if but when based on the huge number of Pixel owners affected across the board and Globally!

I am not technical but assuming it's a HD or software update issue, knowing the devastating effect that this has on customers -at least google could have tried to offer any upgrade with "FS" LOL :-) But no, the entire P3 customers base is being left behind w/o options -and that's why is such a disaster!

This is not what's advertised (at least which seems to say). Cos, from the ads it looks like 3 months wait applies to the $200 GC. I pointed that out but the CS said that's what the system backend says and the ads do not specify when the buds will be 'shipped'.
And then the CS chat just disconnected!
Not sure if it's the specific CS agent or what's actually going to happen. But anyone interested might want to check.
In any case, not at all a positive vibe as a new customer. I know I know, I was warned about Visible's CS :-|
Mine arrives tomorrow, great deal

Also, the offer started from today AM, how did you managed to receive the device on the same day? Am i missing something here.
