Frequently asked questions.
What is an unlocked phone?
An unlocked phone is a phone that isn't tied to a specific operator. When you purchase an unlocked Pixel phone, you get to choose which operator or plan works best for you. Most phones in the Google Store come unlocked.
Important: Pixel phones work with all major operators. But not all Pixel 4a (5G) and later phones have 5G functionality on all 5G networks. See a list of certified operators to make sure that your phone works on its 5G network.
To use a SIM-unlocked phone:
1. Buy an unlocked Pixel phone from the Google Store.
2. Contact a mobile operator.
3. Follow their instructions to set up your phone with their service plan.
What is eSIM?
eSIM technology allows you to add a cellular plan to your Pixel 8a, without using a physical SIM card. Pixel 8a will arrive ready to activate with eSIM. You will need a Wi-Fi connection for setup.
If you choose to connect to an operator after you buy your Pixel 8a, you will need to contact your operator to activate with an eSIM.
Does Pixel 8a have 5G network compatibility?
Yes, Pixel 8a works with 5G networks. The type of 5G service depends on both the phone model and the operator network. Learn more about 5G.
What is included in the Pixel 8a box?
Your Pixel 8a purchase comes with a 1 m USB-C® to USB-C® cable (USB® 2.0), quick start guide, Quick Switch adaptor (for data transfer) and SIM tool. Pixel 8a does not come with a 30W USB-C power charger, but that can be purchased separately.
How does the Google Store trade-in programme work?
You can trade in Google Pixel phones and phones from most other manufacturers. How much you will get for your trade-in depends on the phone, model, manufacturer, and condition. During your purchase of a new Pixel phone, answer a few questions accurately, and once we receive the phone within the specified time frame and verify its condition, you’ll most likely receive the full amount of the estimated refund. Keep in mind that our trade-in partner needs to receive your phone within 14 days of receiving your new phone, and the condition needs to match what you told us. Learn more about Google Store trade-in.
How do I switch from an Android phone or an iPhone to Pixel?
Switching to Pixel is easy. You can transfer your stuff, like photos or messages, from your old phone to your Pixel in a few simple steps. Learn more about switching to Pixel.
Where can I find setup instructions and tips?
Move your stuff over, personalize your settings, and explore Pixel features to get the most out of your phone. Get to know Google Pixel.
Who should I contact if I have questions about my Pixel purchase?
