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.

I had to go to 2 stores, the first store they were initially going to allow me to pay it off, but the guy was looking for credit/debit option and after a bit of searching through the account info they saw the 2 week thing, they said they cant even do cash which is total BS, I drove to another store and they didnt have any issues at all.
I got the phone delivered but it's not activated,
Called Verizon and they aren't able to locate that new line on the account, called Walmart and they said I need to go to store, get UPC scanned which will activate it.
(Visited 2 stores and they don't have mobile activation guy :/)
Chat with CSR found that phone is active on pre-paid and there is no option of financed phones on prepaid.. so have to cancel prepaid--switch to postpaid-- CSR chat is of no help they are just routing in circles (prepaid--postpaid--sales --prepaid)...
will take to store today and if its getting to complicated, will just return phone to walmart..
what a mess !!!!

Of course you risk a possible charge back from Verizon.

In this case, we're not in Verizon's system whatsoever. One rep told me that it is most likley that Walmart did not send the SIM/IMEI to Verizon for them to activate, hence the glitch. So... we have ghosts/phantom phones. Will Walmart charge us? Plausible but maybe unlikely since the phone cost was a payment plan through Verizon. Will Verizon find out and charge us? I don't know how seeing as how we don't have an account set up.
Take this with a grain of salt. I've seen stranger things happen but with 100s (1000s?) of daily activations, I would be curious as to what audit process they have in place.
I tried calling and corporate store both and they said it can't get paid off for first 30 days (or at least 14)?
I asked them for the cash payment but they said I need to wait at least 30 days.

Out of curiousity, when you went through the Walmart check out process, did you ever get a Verizon account number? Or on the shipping label? I don't recall seeing it during check out and there are too many numbers on the shipping label to decifer what is what.
paid till now : $32 of taxes to walmart....
i m fine with verizon or walmart charging $360 price of phone (as long as they unlock it when paid in full) .. if not then a wifi only device..
