Yeah, so I tried to purchase this since I have a Verizon monthly prepaid plan. It won't let me buy it. This is a way of sucking you into a contract. I would say caveat emptor on this one and Slickdeals needs to bury this "deal" in the dirt.

Can I use this on a grandfathered prepaid plan? How long will Samsung support this model with android updates?
yeah, tempted to try it with VZW tracfone but not worth the hassle. I have the S23 FE I got Like New from ebay for $400 unlocked. It's a little heavy with glass front and back. And recently got burned with VZW Home 5G deal, some shady stuff.

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?
Sounds pretty messed up. Now I am worried. My order will arrive tomorrow.

This is correct. The 60 day unlock clock starts once activated on VZW. Activate with a new account or upgrade if applicable and cancel within 3 days and wait until day 60 for it to automatically be unlocked.

P.S. I don't understand how OP thinks there can be an immediate unlock from VZW upon cancellation. First time I have heard that, so I would not expect that, but if true, even better.
VZW does not unlock their phones based upon them being paid off AFAIK.

Your post looks like a copypasta. This "guide" has been posted before. I'll believe it when I see proof. This advice has "trust be bro" written all over it.
last night i was shopping Dell Inspirons for my dad and there is a listing showing a $450discounted unit also getting a 10percent promo code to work for a price of like $683. I ask a question about if the 17%promo code would also work. I only found out later that the 17% code was for Dell Refurbished. When I go to return to the post, so I could let the error be known. Some slapd1ck(prob a 15year old) responded to my post with "thanks, 17% worked great"(1000% certified to be full of Sh1t). Within 60min of writing it, he already had like I dunno, about 4people, waiting on a reply from him or myself, to please share the 17% code.
Those people exist. They juggle upsetting the masses with anonymous political posts with spinning folks out on slickdeals for no reason. I don't have proof yet, but pretty sure they are the same people who devote a quarter of their week to posing as crypto whales on social media...

It's possible that such people do stuff like that to gather reputation points. Those points can then can be given or sold to other SD accounts that are controlled by marketers who engage in stealth promotional activities by posting inauthentic content in the comment sections of SD posts for the purpose of driving sales.

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
Was it $360 total? Or did they charge tax? I'm wondering because supposedly we already paid the tax when we paid walmart

not iceberg11 but i'm guessing: $360 for phone + tax + $35 activation (unless cancelled in 3 days) + prorated service for xx days phone was active.
