Different retailers, so it's not a repost. But this thread sucks as much as the Walmart one: There are no clear instructions on how to get the phone unlocked via a Tracfone plan for those of us who aren't familiar with the process.

Bought from Walmart online yesterday and picked up today. Also bought the TracFone 10$ 30min plan from TracFone ebay store.
Failed activation today after pickup and TracFone CS said take it back to Walmart and ask them to tie the purchase to the receipt. They didn't scan it correctly and hence it's not showing in their system.
So I went back to the store and the guy at CS desk had no idea. But the guy at electronic desk knew the problem. But he said he cannot fix it and CS needs to fix it.
Tried to return the phone and the CS said they don't accept phone reruns at that particular store because they had one explode and I can go to some other Walmart.
I then called the store next closest to me and the lady at the electronic desk knew exactly the problem and solution. I went to that store and she was able to do the return without receipt and rebuy and scan the codes correctly.
Then I tried online activation on TracFone website and thst still didn't work.
So I chatted with TracFone CS and they were able to confirm the phone is now good and then help me activate the plan I bought online.
The online plan gives you a PIN that I gave to CS.
They didn't mention anything about rebrand and neither did I.

You are stronger and tougher than I am.
I congratulate you on getting this done. But I couldn't do it, at this point in life don't have the patience and might not be able to find the one aware, competent person you did.

no one can confirm that, why risk it? so far i see no one here reporting they are scanned correctly. if i were you, i would just cancel the order and buy from straight talk website?
Lets hope buying from straight talk does not give same issue. Read in previous posts that they are bad with shipping but that will probably be less risky then being stuck with a non unlocked phone

well they are cell phone service plan company, unlike Wal-Mart. so i believe they are better at this, if they are not, they prob don't deserve your business.

You need to activate using original sim that comes with phone - you can activate keeping current number/plan until it unlocks - otherwise you need to buy a plan. Using different sim will not qualify for unlocking.
What if one moves existing TF service to GP 6A with new sim?

That's what you're supposed to do, you activate Pixel sim as a TF choose to keep current TF number/plan & wait until it unlocks.

Thanks! In for one.. will see if it ships though. Tried to get one from Walmart recently and their inventory system is a mess. Went to two stores where it was supposedly in stock and they had non. Tried two other stores for delivery and it was canceled. Tried a conventional order and was also canceled

You can't use different sim till phone actually unlocks - 60 days. By trying Canadian sim before 60 days you may have messed things up since original sim is linked to phone IMEI. You might have to add another plan and start the 60 days over. Unusual situation.
A lot of assumptions here. I recommend waiting the 60 days and confirming unlock happened before attempting any other SIM.

It's not even a non unlockable phone. It's unusable all together. Can't even use it with intended network.

Will this work with a current Verizon plan straight out the box? Will I need to unlock this with Verizon being the parent company?

I have the 6a, a friend has the 7, we both are happy with our choigift.

cause we have different criteria. If you want to decide which is best for you, here's one comparison [androidauthority.com] (of many).

Biggest picture on the Q, one of the main things that might make the 6a "better" than the 7 is value/price, and this deal only magnifies the differential.

Another comment, I have not actively shopped to upgrade from my 6a (when 8 came out I looked a little, but didn't perceive enough change to make it worth it), but in searching for that link, I see a bunch of other links where people supposedly claim the 6a is better than than the 7a
Will pixel 6a be an upgrade over Galaxy s10? Still runs good, just on lookout for backup and gifts.

Only thing bother is, OS support ends next year on 6a, while 8 gets 5 more till 2028.

I too have the G S10 and am thinking that since the S10 is at end of updates that I would go for a G A54 which will receive more updates. What do you think?
