PSA: Be careful if you're scheduled to pickup on Friday. The activation timer may starts on Friday but the CS aren't availble on weekends, which means you only have whatever hours left on Friday to attempt cancelling the line.

Nothing to add about this deal, but I got this phone a couple months ago and I have to say it's the best phone I've ever used. My wife got a Iphone 16 pro max and the camera on the Pixel 9 pro XL puts it to shame - especially when zoomed in. And the battery is usually around 40% when I go to bed at night after heavy use all day.

So if you're on the fence about this phone, don't be - you'll love it!

If my partner has ATT (I have TMobile), can I activate with ATT under their number and then just swap the sim cards at home? I don't mind eating the $35 activation fee, still a great deal.

So, right now I'm with cricket, to get it working, I need to port to AT & T? Without porting, can't I get a new number and cancel after that?
Yes, you can but for that you have to go to a BB store.

Hmm, it says for trade-in you have to pick up in store and turn in your phone then.
Can you
  1. Pickup new phone
  2. Cancel ATT
  3. Transfer everything to new phone
  4. Wipe old phone and trade in?
or will they want to take your old phone before they give you the new one?

Damn!
Anyone know if this will stop any existing bill credits on AT&T if I buy this?
All my lines have installment plans with bill credits on them.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank imalik2k

Order placed online for pick up and used AT&T as it seems they do a soft credit check. Used Google voice number to port (had to pay $3 to google to unlock the number to port out). Also trading in a Pixel 7. With taxes, it all came out to $118 for the phone.

Waiting on the phone to be ready for pick up, but my question is, can I call AT&T right after the pick up and cancel the line and waive the activation fee?

When I try to trade in my iPhone 13, it gives me a value of $400
and it says I cannot get the Pixel 9 XL 128 since it is a 399 value.

Would this work in store or any other way to get around this?

Bay Area has the porcelain. I had to switch VZ to order and porcelain because I forgot to lift freeze and ATT kept failing. I hope VZ is easy to cancel an refund activation. Anyone know?
Wait for Phone to Ship
Wait for VZ account info
Then cancel?

I read through the other thread. What is the optimal route to this right? In store or online? I also got Pixel 7 Pro new/sealed that I can trade in, They said $325 which is $100 lower than what I paid. Should I not use the trade-in for this to make the cancellation not complicated?
I have not done BB trade in so I don't know how it works but Id do this in a store if available to get the phone quickly and cancel.

So to do trade in new service with Verizon I must go to store and I suppose just pick cheapest monthly plan to start and then after leaving store create verizon account and then cancel Verizon service and keep unlocked phone.

Quote from yazyazoo :
So if I understand the wiki. If I have ATT already.

1. I must Port a number for a new line. DON'T use my own primary line to do this.
2. Once shipped, call and cancel. Do within 3 days to get $35 activation fee refunded
3. Verify cancelled and not charged
4. Use phone which is unlocked?

Does this sound right ?
If you have ATT you just order the phone with your existing account, no need to create one but you will be charged $35. This deal is a bit different than one plus as the old one needed a new line or account. If you want to avoid activation fee, add a new line and cancel

In store they should give you the difference in gift cards. Or, you may try picking up 256GB
