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.

Do you need to have the phone active with service for 60 days or the first 30 days of active service is enough?

That's not what the Black Friday add says.

How can an existing Total By Verizon customer do this deal?
It's not an activation offer during BF week. Go into Target, buy the device and change switch your current device.

Trash deal and a trash phone
I got the 7pro last year unlocked with a trade of a broken iPhone XR for $350
And still feel like I got ripped off
Google is only offering $300btrade in for the 512GB model
Even Google knows not to pay anything for Google trash phones
Tensor 2 sucks arse so I can just imagine how bad a tensor 1 and the budget model 6a is
My 7 pro is a piece of garbage and not even worth $200
Full of bugs z overheats and does not even come close to achieving 2 hours of SOT from a full charge
The phone will be dead by lunch if you never even use it.
The screen is dim AF at full brightness and can not see ln out of doors on the cloudiest of days even at dusk
Camera app is buggy AF and the phone complains it's too hot to activate the macro focus (which is trash anyways) or the zoom.
This phone is just as bad if not worse than my old Nexus 6p was.
My dad has the 7 and his phone drains at a rate of over 1% per minute, my probl is only slightly better.
Reverse charging not only does not work but if you try to charge one phone from another both phones end up with less power and drain at 3 times the normal rate which is already atrocious.
Google should be sied for tensor
This absolutely garbage abomination should never have been released.
This SOC has the WORST TDP out of any chip ever created.
And the rest of the components are garbage too.
Can't believe Google gets away with charging you $900 for $150 budget phone just because it has stock Android and a "G" on it

I own one and I haven't had a single issue with the fingerprint reader. I did read about it before I bought it. Myabe it was fixed with a software update or hardware vision. But it's works great.

60 day rule is applicable for the devices bought since the verizon takeover
Technically, first activated, on the Verizon network, after the Verizon purchase. (Older phones purchased before the takeover, but never previously activated, also follow the 60-day unlocking policy)

Can't unlock bootloader to install custom roms like graphene OS is a hard deal breaker.

Once Verizon stops rolling their bloated updates to this phone in 1-2 years. You'll be stuck on the old OS with all its security flaws while Pixels with unlocked bootloaders can then install a custom ROM and stay updated.

This is a good deal if you do not care to truly own what you pay for.

HARD pass.
THIS 100%

People need to stop being sheep and allowing these companies to rule your lives. You paid for the device, you should OWN it.

Would you buy a Windows or Apple computer that the manufacturer holds the only Administrator account on it?
Would you buy a car that the manufacturer controls where you can have your vehicle repaired, purchase fuel, or get an oil change?
No, of course you would not.

Help us stand up and push back against this garbage forced upon everyone by over-controlling tech corporations.
One day you will not own anything you pay for if we do not fight against this.

(fyi: This is uniquely a USA problem. The rest of the world has not had these artificially imposed lockdown restrictions for years now. Time we put an end to this nonsense.)

It's $149 now with in store activation of $30 service plan. So on BF it's 99+2*30, saving $20 basically.
It will be $99 with no requirements from 11/19 to 11/25. The post is incorrect.

Okay I see it. Terms states "one promotion per Total by Verizon account". I already have an active Total by Verizon account, so don't know if I can just upgrade the current line without buying a new service plan.
