Doesn't look like my store has much in the way of phones.

They also have a deal where if you get on Google Fi as your carrier, the phone, even the pro , is almost free. Google fi has a $35 plan so I would pay $4/mo for the pro with 256 gb. That deal also includes a Google watch for almost free

Only for new plans, right?

Yes but if you haven't been with Google fi for 6 Mos then it's a new plan. I just got the Pro w/ 256 gigs with the $35 service plan and I'll be paying $38 + taxes and fees/ month which is about what I pay on Consumer Cellular now. I've been on Google fi before and it's a solid service.

ETA: just looked at my invoice and technically I am financing the phone but they credit your account the monthly payment for the phone. I had to let them do a credit check and they charged me $74 for financing fees , which I did not see divulged although I'm sure it was on the fine print. They also charges the sales tax on the total amount of the phone, so I paid $90 today and will pay the monthly amount stated above. It's a bit of a gotcha on the financing fee but still I am getting a Pro for about $100.

That's a hell of a deal. Any experience with Google Fi and how it compares to national carriers?

I've been on Google Fi for almost 9 years. It's great if you're in the Google Ecosystem and a regular carrier if you're not. T-mobile/Sprint network.

Lots of free/cheap international calling and data with the right plan. I ran 5g my entire honeymoon on Saint Lucia and had $0 extra fees.

That's why I was on Fi , switched to them when we went to europe 2 years ago and stayed with them for a few months back home. I want to say at that time I was paying $50/ mo for Fi and that's why I went back to Consumer Cellular.
