Verizon might be the best place to get a Google Pixel 9a

With the Pixel 9a finally hitting the shelves in the United States, it’s a great time for national carrier to gain either new customers or new lines. We expect each carrier in the country, no matter its size, to have some kind of Pixel 9a revealed today.

Verizon happens to be one of the first US carriers to reveal its Pixel 9a deal, which might or might not be in line with everyone’s expectations. Before we go into details, it’s worth mentioning that Verizon claims it is the best place to get a Google Pixel 9a, but that’s for each and everyone to judge for themselves.

Pre-order the Pixel 9a at Amazon

Google's latest mid-range option, the Pixel 9a, is here! You can pre-order your handset with advanced Gemini features at its standard price. This is the 128GB model. The unit will be released on June 1, according to Amazon.

Customers who switch to Verizon can get plans as low as $30 a line per month with four lines on Unlimited Welcome and Auto Pay. The carrier offers a 3-year price lock on all myPlan and myHome network plans, as well as free satellite texting. Keep in mind that the price guarantee only applies to the base monthly rate.

Since the Pixel 9a comes with Gemini AI right out of the box, Verizon offers customers the option to choose Google One AI Premium as a perk on their myPlan (mobile) or myHome (internet) plan for just $10 a month (half the price of the usual $19.99. The perk unlocks access to Gemini Advanced, 2 TB of storage, and other benefits across Google.
