You have to select it and go to next step to select ATT
== Do I get a new number from ATT for which I need to go to store?
If you don't have/get a number of port then you can. However, the appointment in store does not guarantee the phone is reserved though so they might run out. So if you do a porting instead ship best buy will ship it from another store if your local store runs out.
== Does SSN required for creating a new ATT account
Yes, it is
== Is it a soft pull or hard?
ATT says it's soft pull and that's what many reported. You will need to unfreeze your credit of course
== How do I use a google voice number for port
See https://support.google.
== What to do if I keep getting error about account is not created /application is denied?
Check the poring status att.com/portstatus. Call BB to see if they can help with porting.
== When do I cancel the account?
Preferrably after getting the phone in hand but technically you can cancel it once it's created.
== Do I need to create the ATT account as I will be canceling it anyway.
You want a clean cancellation so that you can dispute any bills in future so do create the account so that you can do all that.
== Do I need to open the phone and put the SIM in.
NO, it's recommended that you don't do it.
== What is the ATT cancellation policy?
From https://www.att.com/wireless/return-policy/
Service Cancellations within 14 Days. You may call us at 800-331-0500 to cancel wireless service. You are responsible for all applicable fees, prorated access charges, taxes, surcharges, or other charges through the termination date. AT&T will refund your activation fee, if any, if service is terminated within 3 days of activation. The charges for service used on the account before the service termination date may be applied against any down payment.
== Do I need to unlock the phone?
The phone is unlocked and will remain so.
== Is ATT going to send me a bill later?
They might but you can quote the policy above to get rid of charges. There is an automated way to get rid of activation (even if the line was active for more than 3 days). When you the bill in app/websote there will be link under activation fee "Don't recognize this fee". Click on it to get rid of that immediately. You will need to chat with CS for other charges.
== How do I cancel the line
Online chat/Phone. If you have to call (if the chat is closed e,g,) they will ask you for the account passcode. This is something you can set up from myATT app or logging into your account.
== When is the ATT account create/activated i.e. from when my clock starts for cacellation?
BB creates the ATT account for you and activates line. It happes right before shipping if you are getting the phone shipped or before they notify you for pickup. You need to cancel with 3 days for no activation fee but the read above to see how you can get rid of activation fee even after 3 days from your bill.
== Can ATT/BB blacklist/disable the phone somehow later?
No they can't. You are also not putting ATT SIM in it. BB is just selling you the phone with a phone plan, once you are out of the store they don't care. ATT can flag you but that's unlikely.
== ATT Tasks me to set passcode which I can't do without a valid phone number?
If you are being asked passcode for cancelling the account and you don't have one and also you can't set one as the 2 factor phone number is not active going to an ATT store is the best course of action. They can send the code to an email and you can cancel the account there.
== You may get a full month bill even canceling on day 1
See previous Nord N30 thread for people's experiences post purchase https://slickdeals.net/f/17327499-oneplus-nord-n30-5g-128gb-unlocked-chromatic-gray-cph2513-best-buy-0?page=109
The charges are removable but requires spending time on chat, potentially with multiple agents

Text me when new unlocked iPhone latest model for $10.
SSN required for this 💩, might as well go stand on the street holding a big sign with your SSN on it asking for donations.
I should note I actually have one of these. Also I got in on that Nord N30 deal last year or whenever it was. That phone was pretty decent.

"Once you get your new device, head to BestBuy.com/mobilesetup [bestbuy.com] to learn how to set it up with your carrier."
So I'm assuming we pick up the device, then do the port online.
Btw, this is excellent for my upcoming trip to a country known for public pickpocking in touristy areas!
I'll try it if/when the specific phone meets Ms. SOZ's needs.
This phone does not.
BTW should I hunt for a nearby corporate ATT store just in case ?
