Carrier availability

Several Canadian carriers have listed pre-order details for the Pixel 6a. Vancouver-based telecommunications giant Telus is also allowing its customers to pre-order the device. Customers can pay $0 up front with no interest and pay off the device over 24 payments using the company’s payment plan. Telus is also offering customers free A-Series Pixel Buds. However, customers should be registered for at least two years. Telus flanker brand Koodo also has the Pixel 6a available for pre-order with the free Buds A series. Shaw’s Freedom Mobile also has the Pixel 6a available for pre-order, though the site doesn’t mention the free Buds A series. At the time of writing, Bell, Rogers and their brands did not have the device available for pre-order on their respective websites.
