Great price if you can do the time, a four month sentence now...

Eventually they're going to be paying us a little something to take their phone, in exchange for a lifetime commitment to Fi.

I have 5a 5G and I wouldn't buy this phone again. The battery life is good but the phone is physically heavy. Most annoying is that it often refuses to respond to screen taps or the power button push. Sometimes I will have to poke at something on screen 4, 5 or 6 times until it finally responds, which gets frustrating.
According to GSMArena, the pixel 5a 5g weighs only 6.46 ounces. It is lighter than my larger screen Samsung and Motorola phones. Apple iPhone 11 with a 6.1" screen weighs 6.84 ounces.

Can I create and then port in a Google voice number to Fi under the same Google account to qualify for the $250 off?

Using the Pixel 5a right now - absolutely love it. IMO, it's the best phone available from Google right now.

I've got my Pixel 6 sitting unused on my desk. The P6 is just too big/heavy, and it's in-display fingerprint sensor absolutely sucks.

Fi deals aren't good any more..
Have the service for 6 months or port-in required or both.
I would rather buy a like new oneplus n200 for 100-120 on ebay.
4gb of RAM and a snapdragon 480 are laughable specs. Plus n200 has an LCD instead of OLED on the 5a, terrible camera, side instead of rear fingerprint, and definitely won't get Android 13.

Missing of on the extra year of warranty through credit cards also hurts the value of buying used phones.

Btw 120 days isn't 6 months and when they ran this promo for $299 it was only 90 days. I did that one and an happy with the phone.

I don't have any of these problems. You should warranty it

So if somebody wanted to get this just for the promo and to port back away ASAP then how much is the cheapest Google Fi plan add up to for 4 months of mandatory service?

I had a deal alert for this set for some time now and was not expecting a deal with "strings attached"

Is the screen issue a common thing? I haven't noticed it on mine, nor have I heard of others having that issue

$20/month x 4 + $200 = $280

Still not bad (anyone know what's the cheapest this phone has been outright btw?). If you're doing the above, any work around not having to bring your own number? I don't want to risk losing my current plan, before coming back to it.

Thanks for that math. The deal stinks. In fact the price of smartphones in the past year is unacceptable. I dont know what games Google is playing because I remember this got discounted to like 350 or so and then bumped right back up for several months. I guess they must be selling plenty of units at the MSRP

Thanks for the perspective. Must be. Yeah guess it's only good if you really want fi and for some reason don't happen to have it yet. The above user was the second I've heard regretting upgrading from a 5a to 6, seems the one to get. Guess I'll keep plugging along with my 4a until I'm overdue for an upgrade, instead of getting ahead of it.
