Get the phone via Walmart
Activate it
Make a call
Pay off the phone (either within 3 days to avoid activation or after 14 days)
Cancel the line.
Phone will be automatically unlocked.

S23+ will get one(?) more year of updates I think. But seeing as it is a back up and you may not touch it, I would get the S22+. People poo poo on the S22+ battery life but again, its a back up. I am getting the S22+ for $200 for my work phone.

Make a call to CS. If they say no, try another agent. Alternatively, you can get a Tello SIM on Amazon for $2 and port your number out. It'll cancel your line.

If you do need to do 60 days of service, it looks like you are out another $80+taxes minimum. Is that right?

I am not sure if this question has already been answered. Per Verizon website, they will unlock the device automatically in 60 days. What is not clear to me is, do I have to be in an active paid service within this 60-day period? Or can I cancel my line earlier and still have the phone automatically unlocked in 60 days?

Said I was "unelgible" for some reason but I think that may be because I have my credit locked....

Can I use this on a grandfathered prepaid plan? How long will Samsung support this model with android updates?

It's asking for a data plan to set up the Verizon account. Is there any way we can avoid adding a data plan?

So your bottom line price was $440, or $240 after the trade in discounts?
Bottom line price was $440. Could be less depending on trade in. For example they offered $150 trade-in on OnePlus Nord 10 but on other new phones they only offer $10 for same trade-in.

You do not recall correctly

There is nothing tricky or illegal about a device payment contract.
This is a device payment plan. The deal is that Verizon will let you pay off your phone interest free over 3 years, as long as you have service with them. The real deal here is that you can pay off the phone immediately and go to any provider that you want.

You can if you want to pay the full retail price, it's the 3 year hook is what they want.

I went to two corporate store to try to pay off the phone with cash. The first one couldn't do it and told me I have to wait for two weeks to pay off regardless what myVerizon account says. The second store initially told me the same thing and I showed them what the website says, another guy came over and told the lady to check cash payment option and there is such option indeed so I just paid off. I received the phone this morning, activated it, made one call, sent one text, then headed to the stores to pay it off.
I will cancel the service shortly

So for new customers, total cost is $360, + tax $36 + upgrade / activation fee $35 + Verizon 1 month prepaid $35.
Total = $466?

So ask "cash payment option" when payoff in store? No way to do this online?

After my iPhone 12 deal was completed. I placed a new order.
The 2 x S22+ and 1 x S23+ I received from Walmart weren't activated. Seems like Walmart just scanned the UPC and shipped it to me.
Calling Verizon and giving them the number generated at the time of checkout wasn't helpful. Verizon said it comes back as a "business line" and that my SSN didn't pull up any active account.
Tested the phones with non VZW SIM's and they were locked.

So basically I'm stuck with these locked devices since they'll never be able to be "activated".
Not sure how the bill is going to look like. Do they just bill me for the phone or they bill me activation and service? Or is it like the "free" iphones from last year.

Does anybody know if I activate these locked phones from a new account that's setup independently of the phone purchase, would that start the 60 day unlock timer?
