Google Fi Pixel 9 Pro + Pixel Watch 3 Promo – Full Breakdown (With and Without Financing)
You must keep the line active and in good standing for 24 months to get all credits
---
OPTION A – PAY UPFRONT (NO HARD CREDIT PULL)
At Checkout:
Pay $699 for Pixel 9 Pro (after $300 discount)
Pay $349 for Pixel Watch 3 (after $100 discount)
Pay sales tax upfront on both
No financing, so NO hard credit check
Each Month (for 24 months):
Plan: $35
Credit: $43.66
Result: Your plan is fully covered and you get ~$8.66 extra per month, which can be used toward taxes or other fees (but doesn't roll over or get refunded)
Best for: People avoiding a credit check and okay paying upfront
---
OPTION B – FINANCE THE DEVICES (HARD CREDIT PULL REQUIRED)
At Checkout:
Pay $0 for the devices (except taxes)
Finance Pixel 9 Pro ($29.12/mo)
Finance Pixel Watch 3 ($14.54/mo)
This triggers a HARD credit pull
Each Month (for 24 months):
Plan: $35
Devices: $43.66
Credit: $43.66
Result: You still just pay $35/month total — credits cancel out the device payments
Best for: People who prefer monthly payments and don't mind a hard inquiry
---
AFTER 24 MONTHS:
You own both devices
Bill credits stop
You continue paying for the Google Fi plan ($35/mo unless changed)
Any leftover credit in a month does not carry over or get refunded
---
TL;DR:
You can avoid a hard credit pull only if you pay for BOTH the phone and watch upfront
You'll still get $43.66/month in credits, which more than covers the $35/mo plan
Any extra credit each month can only be used that month, no rollovers or payouts
Just curious, if you take advantage of both the phone and watch offers, the up front cost (after discounts) is $1050 ($700 for the 9 Pro phone + $350 for the Pixel Watch) . ($1050 / 24 months) = $43.75. If the plan is $35 a month, are they sending you a check for $8.35 each month? I suspect hidden fees and taxes consume the remaining $8.35, but I can't imagine you would be paying much after credits. So you would be paying for the phone and watch and basically getting service for 2 years for "free". No clue if this is a deal.
For y'all that think this is overpriced, what must you think of Verizon's $80, $90 and over $100 plans?
That some people use their phones in a very different way than I do and/or some people have more money than sense.
Cell service in the US is stupid expensive compared to almost everywhere else in the world, and for no good reason. I haven't paid more than $20/month for the better part of a decade, and usually closer to $15.
I'm currently getting unlimited service through Spectrum (Verizon MVNO) for free with my $40/month 600/100 internet service. It doesn't matter that not everyone has this particular option, the point is that telecoms can offer this "deal" and still make money. Telecoms should be treated like utilities and stop getting paid by the government to do nothing.
$35 for a line not even including taxes and fees?? Why would anyone use this service outside of wanting a 'free' new phone?
$35 for priority data on T-Mobile with free international calling/roaming, plus a free watch line and a data for an additional device, plus a free 9 Pro and Pixel Watch 3. You gotta add up all the pieces before you start comparing it.
I just switched to Google Fi at the end of March. I have four lines. 2 iPhones, 2 android - all were paid off, so I choose the option to "Bring my own phones". Fi was running 1/2 off for 18 months so I made the leap after having TMobile for 7 years. Before that I had AT&T. So far, after 4 weeks of service, Fi is every bit as good as TMobile, PLUS when I tether, the performance is superior for some reason.
I had 4 lines on T-Mobile and was paying around $135 a month for unlimited everything. I noticed only one of the four lines ever used more than a few GB's per month, unless we traveled, and even then we'd use maybe 4-5 GB's per line. One my line, I can hit 300GB's as I use data constantly while on the road.
Anyways, my first Fi bill was $28 and some change. May 2nd I get another bill - curious if this will be the charge every month, as I was anticipating paying $12.50 a month per line so I'm a bit confused - perhaps 4 lines @ $50 per month is normal, and I'm getting 1/2 off of that? If so, I'm disappointed I remained a T-Mobile customer for as long as I did - was with them for 7 years and really paid a premium to stick with them. Wish I would have switched sooner.

Yes, I've always used free phone plans (Freedompop etc) and now Tello $6 per month prepaid plan (data only with Google Voice - no tax!) for the last decade, so spending $35 per month plus $7 tax & fees every month doesn't make sense to me.
I went with the financing option and the $20/month plan. A credit pull only impacts your score by about 5 points, so it's not a big deal. I paid $58 in taxes for the phone, which totals $480 over two years (20 × 24 = 480). Now, I'm waiting for the coupon for the Pixel Watch to arrive. I plan to pay an extra $50 for the 45mm version, as it offers better battery life.
