Pixel 3a

Wondering if O2 will get the Pixel 3a and if yes when? have to renew my contract and EE has it. 

Looks fab btw. Finally, a brand nailing the basics!

@Chris_K will know but be aware that wifi calling may not be working on O2 if they do have it.

Slightly OT , but is anyone actually interested in the 3a / XL?

£469 for such a low quality device seems excessive. ( Although that's Google business model so far. ) It's bad when even I am not considering buying one to try.:)

And it would be crazy for O2 to stock them and not offer a basic service like WiFi calling.

Apparently it's the best Google phone so far but I find they just don't have all the features or capability of Samsung or, wash my mouth out, the iPhone.

I can confirm that WiFi calling does not work on o2 on this device currently. I bought one from Argos SIM free and put my o2 SIM card in it. No WiFi calling, not even settings for it. After a few calls to CS and a conversation with Google support I can confirm it won't work until officially supported by o2. After some googling I found a code to enable the settings but even then, it didn't work.

Doesn't matter greatly to me however, phone is great and worth every penny.

Update!

I had to go into Phone test hidden menu to enable this but it now works.

1. Type *#*#4636#*#* into the call app keypad.
2. In the window that pops up select phone info.
3. At the bottom of the page enable VoLTE provisioning and WiFi calling provisioning, then close the app.
4. Go to phone app settings, under calls enable WiFi calling and set preferred to either mobile or WiFi, whatever you prefer.

I have tested this and if I get a call when at home it comes up indicating that it's a WiFi call, also if you drag the notification shade down to show all toggles it shows "O2-UK WiFi calling" at the bottom.
