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."

The above is what I got. No bud code in that email. Interesting..

You got it. (Your Google Pixel Buds A Series.)

Congrats, you've qualified!
Hi XXXXX – Thanks for signing up for Visible. Ready to redeem your Google Pixel Buds A Series?
Do this in the next 30 days, before your code expires:
For those that bought the Pixel 6 or 6 pro with this promotion, the system was essentially broken. There was a 13 digit code being sent that would NOT work on the fulfillment site. Visible eventually fixed this and began sending out 10 digit codes but, evidently, the codes would only be sent IF the system could detect the carrier you were transferring from.
In my case, the only option in the dropdown (select menu) was 'Other' under which carrier I was transferring from. If you choose 'Other', the system does NOT send out the Buds code. In fact, based on my chats with Visible, they didn't seem to know which carrier I had ported in from and they required me to prove it by sending a screenshot of my bill from the former carrier.
It seems that enough people were asking about their buds codes now that the Visible reps are aware of the issue and will, hopefully, provide you a code for the buds after you send them proof of former carrier.
It was a pain for sure! I'm guessing... we're gonna need to do the same for the $200 gift card after the 3 payments.

Pixel 6 5G Unlocked for $549 with no hoops to go through.
I've been chatting with Visible agents both online and on Twitter since October 29 and still there is no resolution. They simply keep on re-sending the same wrong 13-alphanumeric code! Each agent pretends that they are escalating the case with high priority (standard corporate line for bad handling of complaints) and yet nothing ever happens with these so-called high priority escalations.

Have you received your Bud code in email yet? I am in the same boat, activated the phone & completed the port-in 3 days ago but still no email with the Buds code. ( That promotional offer is listed in my Visible account, just no email from them yet)
