Dont forget that its impossible to Unlock Bootloader in Verizon versions of phones
So here is the Deet's:

- It is locked to Total By Verizon but most Total by Verizon sim kits show both "Total by Verizon" and "Straight Talk" logos on it. So to be safe consider those networks or Tracfone direct as Network options. May be able to "rebrand" for Page Plus usage but most reps don't do that anymore.

- Some people have reported you only need to pay for one month but you MUST wait for 60 days to officially unlock the device. You can pay for 2 months if you want to be on the safe side.

- Once unlocked(after 60 day wait period) it is essentially the unlocked North American Google Edition so it will be the same as buying a normal Unlocked Pixel 6a directly from Google when they were sold through Google. Note: OEM Bootloader Unlock is permently disabled as it is from a Carrier not From Google Direct.

- Some people have noted a few things about this phone that were not great: Fingerprint unlock is not as smooth as other phones, Heating issues(I did experience this one), Poor network reception as it is using the First gen Tensor modem like the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.

- Target Employees may be able to get an additional discount on the phone, but after Target learned about the Slickdealer abuse of Team Member numbers and discount they changed the way you access the TM Discount now and it is no longer a Team Member number anymore. In Short: You must actually work for Target now and work for at least 1-3 days to use the new way to get a TM Discount. "TM's that are caught giving random people a TM discount and is using their discount in a way that is against Target's rules can be disciplined up to them losing their job". "TM's can share their discount with "select people" that Target deems eligible like Spouse's and select other people".

5% off with Redcard still applies to everyone weather a Team Member or consumer. So you might want to try and sign up for a Debit Redcard so that you can get that 5% off any time you shop at Target with No Monthly Card fee(Active Bank account required as transactions will be pulled from that account).

- Lastly: If you sign up with Total by Verizon you can get Disney+ included for either 6 months or for the life of the plan depending on which plan you Choose. Total plans that include Disney+ for the life of the plan are not subjected to rate increases.

Or

Sign up with the Straight Talk Gold or Platinum plan and get Walmart+ Included for the life of the plan. Walmart + now includes Paramount+ as well so you will get that included too.
Great deal but the complaints about the fingerprint reader are real, it's super frustrating. About half the time I have to let it fail several times and enter a pin. Currently thinking life would be easier if I just turn it off.

So about $160 to unlock. If you wanna buy for trade-in, buying used from ebay is recommended.

It's $149 now with in store activation of $30 service plan. So on BF it's 99+2*30, saving $20 basically.

Wonder if metro will get more pixel 6As in stock. Much better deal there for me as a metro customer. $49 + 1 month service if you add a line

I wonder if Total will have the same deal. Been sitting at $199.99 for awhile. With Total you can buy and then snag a cheap TracFone 30-day plan to activate. No need to renew for second month and phone is unlocked after just 60 days.

EDIT: I guess Total did match.

I'd say my experience isn't all that bad with the fingerprint sensor. Misses sometimes, even with a glass screen protector but works 90% of the time.

Metro's still a better deal. Albeit, there's a 6 month unlock period.

Is this locked to Total or Verizon since it uses the Verizon network? In other words could you still use it with a Verizon sim card in it before the 60 days to unlock?

So you could buy a Total phone, and unlock it with a cheap TracFone SIM?
I guess because both Total and Tracfone part of Verizon.

Do you think we could buy a Verizon phone and unlock it with cheap TracFone SIM too?
