Google Fi is currently offering Simply Unlimited Plans at $20/month per line for 4 to 6 lines. They are also offering the Pixel 7a for FREE after 24 months of bill credits ($499 total) for new customers, with a limit of one free phone per line. Effectively, you can either buy the phone at MSRP and get two years of unlimited 5G service for free (minus taxes/fees), or pay $20/month for the service and get the phone for free. 0% financing is available for those that would rather not pay for the phones upfront and instead have the full monthly service charge.

Simply Unlimited comes with unlimited calls, texts, and 5G data (35 GB/month per line, then falls back) within the US, Mexico, and Canada. 5GB/month of hotspot tethering included per line. Google FI runs on the TMO network and reportedly shares the same top prioritization mode as native unlimited contract TMO customers.

I activated two of these in July. Waited for status to change to "activated device". Swapped SIM to my main phones and gifted the other two to my in-laws. Still getting bill credits to this day. You just have to read the terms. Sometimes it says just to activate and sometimes it says you have to use the phone for 120 days.
Proceed with caution. Google Fi stated that they would perform a soft pull to check your device financing options - but they ended up with a HARD PULL - even if you opt not to buy anything or establish a new line. Others (and myself) got dinged with this.
I called google fi about swapping a phone for another deal, the agent said that will invalidate the deal. So you have to keep the sims in the pixel 7a for 24 months to get the deal.

Do you know if we have to keep the Google Pixel 7a for the 24 months? Or can we switch back to an iPhone and still only pay the monthly $20?

The terms of the deal are somewhat ambiguous on that front, but I've seen posts online from people who were charged for doing a device swap while having a Google FI promotion active.

They realize the potential for profitably selling the bundled phone and block it for the promotional period. Google's argument seems to be that an IMEI change involves a temporary deactivation of service, which means you violated the terms about having 24 months of unbroken activation.

Given that logic I'm not sure what they do if your phone malfunctions or gets lost/stolen during the promo period, but I'd hope they'd give you a waiver.

So I found this when I clicked on "see details."

The credit will be applied toward monthly service costs, such as data, calls, texts and device financing, over 24 months. The credit is tied to the person that activated the device. The device activator may switch phones during the 24 month period, but must keep their Fi service active in order to continue to receive the promotion bill credits.

From reading the last sentence it makes it seem like you can switch to another phone as long as you just keep the monthly service.

If you don't get the phones - you don't get the credits.

You either pay for the phones or for the lines - your choice.

How long does it take to show the status as "activated device?"
