There is no carrier contract. The phone is unlocked and paid upfront. You get a line and then cancel it once the phone ships.

Anyone want to post a walk through on how this works for a Pixel 8. All I get is $699 and having Best Buy assign an AT&T account to the phone. Where, when, does that price drop?

The price has gone up. But if it goes down to $399 again in new few weeks you can do the following.

1. On BB page select connect with a carrier and then go through the steps.

2. If you are with ATT/VZW then you can add a line to an existing account and cancel. If you are not with them then you either open a new line (for which you will have to go to BB in person) or port a number (you can get a Google voice number and unlock it for $3 and port it) to do the entire process online.

3. Once the phone ships (or pickup at store) you can cancel the account. Within 3 days activation fee will be waived and you end up paying 2-3 days of prorated bill.

More details are on the OnePlus Nord thread wiki I linked.

Moot point now, since the sale is done, so I'm not going to argue with you. They aren't going to give you a $100 discount for a promise you can back out of.

Can you really do that? Cause I see these types of deals all the time. That's the only way best buy sells phones I think lol
