You get a discounted device in exchange for agreeing to use a specific cellphone service for a period of time (24 months is typical in the US). None of this should be surprising to anyone. Like...they think google released the phone at a set price and then 2 days later were like "You know what? Just pay me less than half price, really slowly, and we'll call it good"? Side note - they're offering the same deal to their current subscribers $9/mo for 24mo, which I imagine helps with retention.

          web site for this deal, requires you to pick a phone plan before you can proceed. Wonder how you can continue to use your number while you are waiting for your new phone since a phone number is part of the process

          Just another example of Google trying to do more selling with less staff. I gave up after chat continued to send me to the wrong web page

            But who want a Pixel phone nowadays...

                something tells me that all subscribers to this deal will resell the phone for more bucks to another end-users ... and maybe other countries !

                  dbjungle, 19 Aug 2021The fine printThat's how these particular type of contract work. We have the same thing here in the UK for certain 12 months contracts particularly with O2 where they separate phone cost from data cost. You can also opt for paying the entire contract once you sign on so it's not really a fine print kind of contract. It's clearly stated on the website

                    With that specs the innitial price should be 216 not a discounted price.

All in I'm paying a little over $100 a month for 4 phones and the little bit of data we use.

                              Looks like call and data charges are charged separately so you still have to pay for a cell plan on their Fi network, however much that costs.
