First month is free (you just pay the 20 and taxes/fees) and then you pay for your usage the next month.
Not really "free", just delayed billing. Data used in 1st month is billed in 2nd month.

I got a Pixel 7 but I decided not to keep it so I am just going to sell it. Would it be possible to remove eSim after activation or that would basically disqualify the promotion? I am thinking if I sell it with eSim on it (turned off), the new owner might just turn it on and use data, which will charge me. Alternatively, I can buy a $10 Fi sim card to physically activate it and then just take it out before selling. Any ideas which one makes more sense? I haven't used eSim before so pretty new to this.

Bought an iPhone 11 from Metro just to do this deal.

Someone else mentioned it's ~$91 out the door after trade in. I bought the iPhone 11 for ~$120, so the total out of pocket for me on this Pixel 7 Pro will be ~$210. Scorching hot deal!
I'm a huge android fan (never had an iPhone) but I watched 7 Pro camera review videos and it isn't anywhere close to iPhone 14 still. And iPhone 11 is very close to 14 in many ways including portrait.

I'm new to eSIM as well. If I were in your shoes, I'd activate the phone using a physical SIM but I'd check with Fi support first that Fi system will recognize that that particular physical SIM was activated with that phone. With my previous Fi deals when they shipped the phones with a SIM, you have to activate the phone with the shipped SIM because it was paired with that phone's IMEI in Fi system.

Both PIXEL2022 and P1XE12022 give the message:

Oops, code requires a Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro purchase. I have a Pixel 7 in my cart.

Is the deal dead? Any new code?

Which review did you watch? The camera blind test at MKBHD and other sources, put Pixel on top. And iPhone is in 3rd position. Even the cheaper Pixels: Pixel 6a for instance rate higher on camera than the iPhone's.

I also have both the iPhone 11 and Pixel 7. The camera aren't even comparable with the Pixel being far superior.

Half the time I just see people thrashing Pixel/Android devices and extolling the iPhones without any sound logic.

Just got the Pixel 7 delivered today. No physical SIM included in the box nor in the phone itself. I was able to use the eSIM to start the plan and also able to transfer a phone number from Tello (took about 15 minutes).

According to "fi.google.com", I now have 2 devices (technically 3 if you include the trade-in iPhone). One has the physical IMEI number. The 2nd device has the eSIM's IMEI number with the newly transferred phone number attached.

"Fi Savings" ($200 and $250) still says the phone is not activated nor a number transferred. Looks like the whole system doesn't seem to see activation of eSIM correctly.

I am going to wait for couple days to see if it eventually updates. The good news is that the "trade-in" box is on its way.
Similar situation here, except it's approaching 48 hours since I received the "Service activated" email. I did contact Fi support yesterday, and they said all looked good on their end and to wait 24-48 hours.
I'm not worried; I, too, suspect that their system may only be watching for the IMEI associated with the physical SIM slot.

See data point from MaroonLake in post #401. He activated the eSIM and it was reflected the next day.

Again, I'm not worried about it. My port-in is complete and it would be easy to confirm that the phone was activated in accordance with the promotion.

Anyone have success with this deal using a Google Voice number? Also did you have to pay the $3 to unlock the GV number? Thanks.

They don't care. I've traded in several phones still locked to Tracfone without problems. The recycler/refurbisher that process the trade-in phones probably has software to unlock any phones.
