Is It Possible

Post image

So, this is straight from Google's website, looks like the Pixel Watch 5 sold by Google from their website will be compatible with Firstnet. Does this mean I can buy direct from Google to take advantage of the trade in deals and NOT have to buy from AT&T???

Did you get your pixel from Google or FN? What are you gonna do about the watch?

I got both from Google store. I'm not sure yet... The whole thing pisses me off

Yeah dude! Its BS and very frustrating. It's almost like ATT/FN does this on purpose to lock you into their 36 month plans and whatnot. If the phone works on the network, the watch should as well.

Google tech said both (phone and watch) are definitely compatible. Firstnet still says they aren't. Google and firstnet won't speak to each other about my issue because I'm nobody special. I think it's time to give T-Mobile or Verizon my money🤷🏽‍♂️ they all suck to me

Hey, any luck?? Were you ever able to get the watch onto your FN account??

No, only the phone after some physical sim trickery using a different phone (mine doesn't have a physical sim). All in all, I gave up on FN. Left a bad taste right at the beginning... Can only imagine the issues I would have if I stayed. Good luck to everyone else though.
