For those with experience with these deals. this might be worth it for you guys. Walmart has several phones as low as $1 per month for 36 months. It doesn't look like bill credits either. Buy, activate, pay off, then cancel within 3 days. Phones should automatically unlock after 60 days. Some Iphone 12 plus, pros and max for $2.75 per month but out of stock. I have done this before so I will try it again.
Just wanted to verify my timeline for doing this is right.
- Buy Galaxy a14 on Monday.
- Two day shipping, arrives Wednesday. (Business Day #2)
- Pay off phone Wednesday and make a call/text. (Can I pay off phone earlier - before it arrives?)
- Cancel service Thursday (Business Day #3 - last day to avoid activation fee)
- Leave in drawer without service for 60 days, tweak apps, SD card, settings....
- Unlocked automatically
- Use on any USA network (probably US Mobile).
FYI, Moto Edge they are selling is the old 2021 version. Be aware.
Yes. So definitely not worth for these phones.

I've done this a couple of times but I am no expert. IE $1 X 36 months plus tax on $36 (at least in Illinois) plus a few dollars for pro rated monthly. As long as I cancelled within 3 days of activation, activation fees were waived. So around $40. I did the IPhone 12 at $2.78 month for 36 months. I plane to pay it off for $100.08 plus a few dollars for pro rated monthly. I did all this on Walmart's website without any issues and my phones arrive next week.
Just letting everyone know here. I thought this was replicable and went through with it.
The Verizon customer support as well as the chat has explicitly told me that the device is not eligible to be paid off until 5/16/2024. They'll definitely make you pay the activation fee ($40) and one month's prepaid bill of $60.
This is no longer worth it!

there is a direct phone line you can call to pay off device via automated system with your saved card. Dont ask the reps, they'll say cant be done.
The number was in last years iPhone 14 walmart verizon deal.

The automatic system tells you that you are ineligible to pay off this phone until mid May.
Having sold real estate when mortgage rates were OVER 14-15%, (1980's) rates have everything to do with supply, demand, values, and sales volume.

Ok, so why is rates higher now and prices even higher when compared to 2020?
I received the Galaxy A14 this morning, but my phone is not activated. I called Walmart and Verizon, they can't locate my phone by IMEI #, and Verizon asked me to activate my phone at Walmart store. Any thoughts on this? If as the previous post said I have to wait till May 16 to pay off my phone, I probably need to return it ?
That is correct. I called in to pay off and called again the next day to cancel. I think you can pay off online but I haven't tried yet. Once unlocked, pretty sure you can use on any major carrier.
The normal customer service line. This was about 2 years ago. I am an existing Verizon customer with 5 lines. I don't want to do things like this too often and bring attention to my account.

So, you are an expert!!
Logically I think yes as Verizon has roaming to Canada
