- You need to establish a Verizon account
- Go to Account, Bill, Payment methods
- Add a credit card
- If you have other Verizon lines, make sure you verify your Auto Pay is still pointing to the bank account
- From a NON Verizon phone, call 800-837-4966
- Enter the phone number for the line you want to pay off
- Tell the robo attendant "pay off device"
- Robo attendant will confirm the payoff amount ($299) and if you would like to process on credit card ending in xxxx (what you have on file)
- * Say yes, and that's it.
*** How to update Apple purchase date ***
- From your Verizon online account, go to Account, Bill, Documents & receipts
- Download the Customer Agreement PDF that has the service agreement and IMEI (shown as Device ID), and barcodes
- Go to https://checkcoverage.a
pple.com - Enter serial number
- If it says no purchase date found, continue to create a case and request a call back
- Upload the PDF
- After the call back they said it could take up to 5 days for the date to be reflected
- I checked the serial after 5 minutes and it was updated
*** Request early unlock (huge YMMV but worth a shot) ***
- Login to your Verizon account
- Start a chat
- Ask them to submit a "request for early SIM unlock on your behalf"
- For reason, simply say "device is paid in full"
- Be ready for some pushback or if you want PUK unblock, or porting pin - just state the same
- If they say it cannot be done, tell them politely that you are aware they cannot do it, and they need to send a request up the line
- In my case they send to contact in 10 days (not holding my breath this will actually happen but worth a shot)
*** Disconnectiong line ***
- Login to your Verizon account
- Start a chat
- Request an agent
- If asked, about plans/service
- Say disconnect line
- They will try to offer you other options or to disconnect at a later date
- Insist you need the line disconnected now
- If asked for a reason, say you cannot give them one
- Verify total under Account, Bill, Next bill estimate - about $7 for 3 days of service
*** Instant unlock using SIM Swap for ATT (YMMV) ***
- After getting the phone and paying it off fully, make some calls/texts and make sure it shows up on ATT account
- Transfer the eSIM to an unlocked, steps might vary depending on iPhone/android.
- Make some calls with that phone and make sure it shows up on the account now.
- Now go to ATT.com/device unlock and select non ATT customer and provide imei.
- Make sure you reply yes to the confirmation email ATT sends
- Only cancel the account after you are able to unlock.

dialed 8008374966 and provided the new phone number
Said "pay off device" when asked the reason for calling and follow the prompts.
Fully paid the 299$ for the device with Automated system without talking with a live person.
Then called in and spoke to a live person and canceled the line.
If you're waiting 3 days for the shipment I don't see you getting out of the activation fee.

I ordered 2 with my existing VZ account and 1 with my mom new account and they canceled all 3.
It's from my email:"We're sorry, we had to cancel your delivery order because of an unexpected issue."
All I know is that the 3 days to cancel (and get the $35 activation fee refunded) starts when they ship the phone (and usually is delivered in two days - leaving you with one day to pay it off and cancel the line). But I believe the 60 days unlock starts when you turn on the phone and the phone activates.

Thanks to Community Member ProudToBeAnIndian for sharing this deal.
You can cancel new line with in 3 days , once device is paid off in cash at store YMMV
Worst case - you have to wait for 14 days to pay off device so $35 activation/upgrade charge + Monthly plan charges on pro-rated.
Phone will be unlocked after 60 days from activation

* Do you have to turn on the phones in order to activate them or are they coming in active already?
* Can you pay this off right away online or does it have to be in store?
* Can you pay this off via credit card (online or in store) and not affect current autopay discounts?
* Once paid off, can you cancel the line online or does it have to be in store?
* And unlock 60 days clock starts when the device is activated, even if the line is cancelled, right?
Devices shipped so the 3day starts today. Assume for "in store" it has to be a corporate store.
