- 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.

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.)
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.

He's actually talking about phones with a locked bootloader as well. The phone doesn't have to be "subsidized" to have a locked bootloader. It should be straight up illegal for any phone manufacturer or phone carrier to lockdown a bootloader to a device. If you pay $1000 for an electronic device, you should be able to do whatever the heck you want with the software on it.
At launch, Google was selling this 6A for $150 with a trade in of old phones that weren't even worth $60, completely unlocked, and with free pixel buds lol. Two years later, this locked down bootloader variant is still more expensive AND you are stuck with whatever plans they are offering. I realize we don't have time machines, but you can certainly get unlocked variants of phones for cheaper than subsided versions
