PSA: You can score a free Google Pixel 8a if you buy the Pixel 9 Pro or Pro XL

If you want to buy one Googling‘s latest flagship devices, you may want to consider purchasing these through Optus as the telco is currently a fantastic offer which gives you an additional Pixel handset at no extra cost.

Needless to say, this is a great option for those who have a parent, child or spouse to whom the free phone can be passed on.
