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!

So I just picked this phone up from best buy. It was not activated in store but they did give me a Verizon sim to activate it. Can I just skip doing that and port my current number over to it?
Wow you just walked in and got it without needing to provide any number info and it's unlocked?

I can get $260 for my Pixel 6A but I have a paid subscription with Mint until December. How to I minimize my payout?
i think you wont have any issue in moving the sim out of mint mobile as it is prepaid?

I have the pixel 7, and it is straight hot garbage. It's ruined me from any other pixel phone. I'll be switching to iPhone, after a couple decades of resistance.
Agree. Pixel 7 was the start of my dislike of the pixel line. I have the pixel 9, and while it's better, not miles better. Going to trade in the 7 for 290 and then wait for a decent trade in for something else s25u or iPhone.

So I picked up the phone at Best buy. Now how do I contact Verizon to cancel the line? I never received any info about activation. Just got an email saying my Verizon email address was updated. I'm not sure how they would even find my account.

my past experience with similar walmart iphone deal had been that the line autoactivates once you boot the phone with that sim. once activated, cancel the line within 3 days to get waiver of activation fee too, else you will be charged activation fee and pro rated for days if cancelled within 30 days.

to cancel, call and give them reason like poor service etc. they will cancel it. you will still get billed so you would have to call them again after a week or two once final bill have been generated to get waiver of those charges.

And I never got any charge from Verizon anywhere. Just a $79 charge from Best buy. I traded in my Pixel 7 Pro for $325. Anyone know what is going on?

Paid 119$ pre-tax with a Pixel 6 Pro as trade in. Bought when it was $599 and they were able to price match with a gift card for the difference. SLICK deal!

Hi OP, great find. Booked mine for pick-up 256GB variant, traded-in iphone 13 that took off 400$. In all came to about 65$ with taxes.
Some questions for experts: Trading in my phone to best buy - what should I be mindful? Obviously, I will reset the phone. Anything else here?
If I request them to ship it to me instead, which I doubt they will, but let's say they do. How does trade-in work in this case?

Thanks!

You can cancel it once it ships or you pick it up from store. You will want to do that within 3 days to avoid activation fee.
Does the number actually need to be ported before I can try cancellation?

not really, they would check the phone right on the spot and may take your ID with signature to rule out any fraud for stolen phone etc. Once done, they should be able to allow you to grab the phone. they may activate in store or you can try to say you will handle it and you would be out in less than 20 min.

How does this work with a trade-in?

I have a number on Google Fi.

I want to keep my number and use this phone on my Google Fi account.

I used a Google voice number to port out when purchasing online.

When I go into the store to pick-up this phone and trade in my old one... What does that look like?

Can I port all of the information over before I have to wipe my old phone?
