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.

Weird. I received the Iphone, activate, set up account with verizon for new phone but it asks for my zipcode and PIN . This is new account, so I haven't set up PIN yet. Tried SSN or 4 digit phone number but it doesn't work
It asks you to set a pin on the walmart checkout flow.

Edited to note that my Iphone 12 was unlocked the same day that it was paid off. Payoff was $99 for the IPhone 12 with no tax. We'll have to see what the monthly bill looks like next month.
How did your iPhone 12 get unlocked? After it got unlocked, did you need to use the Verizon sim (that came with the phone) to activate the phone or for anything?

I tried an XFinity Mobile SIM after I paid off the phone and it worked. I didn't have a GSM SIM to check. I activated the phone with the included Verizon SIM and made a phone call. I cancelled with CS as soon as I confirmed it was unlocked.

Thanks, did your phone come as unlocked automatically or did you use the att sim trick to unlock it first (before you tried the Xfinity sim)?

Xfinity mobile is Verizon network so it would work even locked still.

Look at

iPhone is locked by going to Settings > General > About. If "No SIM restrictions" appears next to Carrier Lock, your iPhone is unlocked

can also look up IMEI on sickw.com free service will says if iphone is unlocked.

Seems like you got an unlocked iPhone which is amazing…

How did you payoff the phone (online or in a corporate store)? Did you ever put the Verizon sim (that came with the iPhone from Walmart) into the iPhone?

Phone was activated during setup. I made a call just in case. Added credit card using My Verizon app. Called 800-922-0204 and said "pay off device" came up with $36 payoff (Sam. A42) and processed directly without an agent. Hung up and called back and said "disconnect my service" got transferred to agent (Angel) and she was able to disconnect service immediately (took about 10 min, asked several questions etc.) She said it would take 1 week to re-calculate the bill. Immediately after hanging up I tried making a call and it said I didn't have any service. If I log into my Verizon acct it says my service is disconnected, but still shows $122 due. I expect that'll change within the week.
Saying "pay off device" is sending me a text message instead of paying off.

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!

Phone was paid off in corporate store. There is one near my house so I just went to not have any problems. It took the agent a couple minutes but he was able to get the phone paid off. I turned the phone on with the included Verizon SIM in the phone. I don't think the phone came unlocked. I paid off the phone before it arrived because I received an email that it was already activated the day I purchased it and it took 5 days from Cali to Chicago.

I called again and I was able to pay off. It looks like you have to wait a day after activation. If you try to pay off immediately after activation it may not allow. Next step is to cancel the service

One more update: I called again and was able to disconnect service. Please do not use the Verizon app to disconnect service. It doesn't disconnect immediately. Call the 611 and request for disconnect.
