A:AnswerI received the $100 e-gift certificate after I picked up the phone. I did not have to activate the phone to get it, just pick up the phone. I ordered unlocked online and the e-gift certificate came to my email within 30 minutes after picking it up.
A:AnswerI visited the local Best Buy as well as T-Mobile today to check the model # on their Pixel 3A display phone (Settings/AboutPhone/...). It is Model G020G at both. I called Google Pixel tech support earlier and was astonished that they were quite clueless about there being 4 models in their own specs (under Network) or which specific model was on US retail shelves! GA00655 appears to be the Manufacturer's # rather than the Model # according to another online site (B&H).
A:AnswerHi nique, the unlocked US SKU is compatible with many carriers (Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, and Google Fi as well as supported on AT&T). If you are using another carrier, we recommend contacting them directly for the most accurate information regarding device compatibility.
A:AnswerUnfortunately no MicroSD slot on the 3a (nor the 3 or the 4). Unbelievably very few smartphones now have them. I agonized over this. I finally decided to get a 3XL with 128 GB memory to have as much on board memory as possible. The Pixels do support OTG so you can plug in a microSD card reader. I got a 512 GB SDHC card for $64. But that's a hassle and in the long run stresses the type C port. The other partial solutions that works are cloud drives when you have an internet connection, or a RavPower filehub that provides local wireless storage and also is a battery power bank (which is also needed as while the 3a has more power than the 4's it is still abysmal)l. when you have an internet connection I think you get 2 years of Google picture storage. And there are streaming services for music and video. The black Friday $399 price for a 3a was a good deal.
A:AnswerIf you buy an unlocked Pixel, it will work in India. Keep in mind that this has only 1 physical SIM card slot + 1 E-SIM card slot. You can use it with Airtel in India. no worries.
A:AnswerYes, Total Wireless, owned by TracFone, which is a subsidiary of the MVNO, which runs on the Verizon Network. This means the phone need to be compatible with.. CDMA & 3G/4G bands; 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 13 & frequencies; 700, 850, 1700, 1900, 2100.
If we have a look here..

We see that indeed the device supports these specs.
