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.

Google: we admit that your 4 year old had battery problems, we will give you $50. Just send us the imei...... yes just turn on the old phone who died 2 years ago and cant be turn on
Not at all. Google is releasing an update that will hurt the phone's battery life. It's very weird. Why don't they just not release the update...

In the coming days, your Pixel 4a will receive an automatic software update to Android 13 that introduces new battery management features to improve the stability of the battery. This update will reduce your battery's runtime and charging performance.

To address this, we're providing some options to consider. Please take a look and choose which one works best for you.

I got my 4a from the vertex wireless SD where you got the phone and mint service for $199. It was bonkers cheap.

Im going to ask the obvious question; if we traded in the phone already, but have the box and the IMEI still, think we can still get the money?

What about the Pixel 5? That thing overheats if you look at it.

There are two IMEI's on the 4a. Have you checked both?

Same problem here! I have an old Pixel 4a 5g that has this exact same battery problem / randomly turns off and it says the Google repair page says it is not a Pixel 4a device.

Just replaced my grandma's 4a with a 9 for $299 via mint mobile. The 4a no longer receives security updates.

It might also be found on the SIM card tray.

Pro tip: take a picture with another phone and enlarge it because those numbers are tiny!

I opted for the $100 store credit for our 2 phones. It states 3 weeks to verify/process. I'm hoping they stack, but we will see. One of our just started to have the battery swell.
