    Only time I've ever had a problem receiving messages is when a Verizon user sent them and even then it is really rare. I'm an AT&T user, FWIW.

    My wife has issues with this on Fi after coming from an iPhone. I've not had issues on Fi, but I've had an Android forever.

    This is more of an iMessage issue than a Fi issue. She probably still has text conversations that originated in iMessage and the sender's phone is probably still trying to send texts to her phone via iMessage. In order to get texts from those conversations on Android she just has to have the other person in that conversation delete the conversation and start a new one.

    Yeah. The best friend had the same thing happen to her when she switched.

    Best to purchase Pixel3 from Google, not Verizon, so it's unlocked I presume

    Yes and their insurance plan is great as well. Also they'll usually send you free shit for preordering.

    I haven't tried it either but my girlfriend went to London, Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos in June and it was flawless. Her bill was only $4 higher thanks to WiFi calling.

    Anyone doing a trade in make sure you get plenty of pictures and videos of your phone before you send it in. Google screwed alot of people with trade ins last year

    I still owe 500 bucks on my pixel XL 2 payment plan. I just can't justify trading that in for a new 1000 dollar phone and still owe 150 on the other

    Traded my Pixel in last year and it was fine. Took awhile to get the credit but no issue other than that. I did hear alot of people go screwed on the value.

    Love my 2XL. But I also Loved my original Pixel. Just decided I will stay current and pay Google $40 a month till I die.

    How much do you think the Pixel 2 will be? I'm not gonna pay $800 for a new phone, nor will I pay $30-40 a month for eternity.

    JFC, $800 for the 64GB Pixel 3? Fuck that. If I'm paying that much I might as well switch to iPhone.

    Slow as fucking hell OS updates is why I just can't go with a Samsung again. Plus my battery life after less than 2 years on the S8 is really starting to go to shit.

    You noticed any dropoff in battery performance on your 2xl? I feel like mine is as good as the day I got it a year later.

    they increased the warranty to 2 years on the Pixel 2/ 2XL IIRC. That should help cover some battery issues that might show up.

    This happens on every phone, it's a battery issue and they all get the same batteries. My Pixel was the worst I've seen with this, though the insurance/warranty is great for it and easily swaps for a new one.

    I received the email after I pre-ordered, contacted pixel help, and they're crediting me the $50. If you get google emails the $50 off was in there.

    just got a $50 offer email from Google. Didn't read, but sounds like its for play store after you've bought your Pixel 3 ,e.g. helpful for other cheaper items, accessories, cases etc.
