Doesn't seem to work for Pixel 4a 5G. I just tried now thinking they were the same, but I recall not - Google had released a 4a and a 4a 5G separately.

It gives a message, "The IMEI you entered is not for a Pixel 4a device."
My past experience of google discount code (toward the purchase of new products) does not stack with sale price.
IMEI could be on the back of the device or on the box.

Didn't work for my Pixel 4A, which I have not used in over 3 years. I wouldn't mind some credit toward a new pixel.

Anybody chime in why some 4As don't qualify for the rebate but some do? If your phone is still working do they reject you or what?

Does anyone know if the 4a will continue to work after the battery completely dies, as long as it on a charger?

I would like to keep mine working for photo backups, and wouldn't mind if I needed to leave it on the charger. But if that would not work, I would probably get the battery replaced.

As long as the phone is plugged in, it will work even if the battery no longer holds a charge.

Four Pixel 4a phones (non-5G).
Two fully unlocked - Applied for $50 on each. Smilie
Two Verizon branded (locked bootloader) - "The IMEI you entered is not for a Pixel device" Frown

I have a 4a 5g and my battery is absolute shit. I was told by an authorized repair place that during battery replacement the board can get fried and brick the phone. He said it was a common problem on the 4 series Pixels, including the 4a 5g and would recommend against replacing the battery. I am not eligible for this trade in unfortunately. YMMV. I imagine if they fry the unit they'll just give you a new one, but I don't know.

You don't need the box or the SIM tray, the IMEI is findable in the phone settings. Settings -> About Phone.

Mine worked for the offer but it is also in active use.

You need the IMEI from the tray or the box if your battery is toast my friend. That's why they are even giving this offer to some people. You can't access the phone settings with a dead phone.

Obviously in that case, but no one had mentioned using the IMEI from the phone itself in the thread so far.

when i typed my IMEI, it said not a pixel IMEI...
So it looks like we're SOL if the phone came from Verizon originally.
Two of my phones said that also "not a pixel IMEI". (not 5G) They are regular Pixel 4a but Verizon branded.
On two other Pixel 4a phones I have, both IMEIs were accepted. They're unlocked, non-Verizon.
