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."

Another option is to buy a $1 Tracfone kit (with 3 SIMs, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon). This will give you 3 activations (Verizon requires phone IMEI) if you need more for future phone purchases/ports. Each activation will cost you $9.99+tax for a basic plan. You'll have a phone # (assigned or ported), Zip code and PIN (setup when creating an account) for port. The account number could be the last 15-digit of SIM #. If not sure, send FOUR to 611611 to see if the four digits match IMEI or SIM. You can also chat or call TF to ask for your account #.
Placed the order of pixel pro with the Ting SIM card after. The phone arrived the next day, and was activated without problem. the Ting number was ported to visible. The earbuds code arrived very soon after.
BTW, A few minutes after I got a message that someone tried to crack my password. My visible account was locked safely. I reset the password and placed the order for earbuds immediately. So be careful with your visible account.
"Before we can review this situation, it would greatly assist us if you could provide a copy of your bill or something that shows the carrier you ported from is your previous carrier."
If not, they want to remove the Pixel buds and $200GC promo from my order.
