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!

No shipping? It says only available for store pickup

If you do trade in, it's a store pick up only. But if you don't trade in, they will give you the option to ship.

Will AT&T port by number right away when the order is placed? What if I cancel the line before activating ?

BB will do the activation just before shipping/being picked up. You won't be able to cancel the line before then.

9 Pro XL is 221 grams. Anything over 200 grams is going to be heavy in my opinion.

Yeah but the weight doesn't change based on price. Great deal.

I think that's part of my question though. Do I need to cancel if I have never activated anything?

Nope, you can't cancel a line which is not activated. So the phone activation on a line and line activation is different. The line is activated when the phone ships/picked up. The phone is activated on the new line when you boot it up with the provided SIM. You can forgo the phone activation step but you do need to do the first (BB does that for you) before cancelling.

If I cancel the account with AT&T, will it cancel my original number too? Even if I don't port in?

ATT can only get rid of number after it's ported into their system so if the number is not ported they can't get rid of it.

My worry is about my phone number . I only have one phone number, which I can enter during the check out process online. I want to continue using the number with my current provider Mint and not port that into AT&T. If I cancel AT&T account, will my number still be with Mint?

Both of them I think are the same in terms of cancellation. I have done these with ATT FWIW

Not really. Iphone have better trade in credits like 12 is about 350, 13 is 400. See if you can find an iphone 12 series onwards

You're amazing. There's a $320 value for my Pixel 8. I never would have thought it would be that high. Thanks.

You are better of getting a throwaway number from Google voice/tello etc and port that in. You don't want your primary number to be in porting limbo.

Edit: Or get a new number altogether by doing this in store.

Good suggestion, but doing this for iPhone 13 from good to fair is $50 difference. Hopefully the 256gb comes back in stock soon...

Anyway to know how/when it will come back in stock?

I just got home from BB. Traded pixel 8 pro ($260) for the 9 pro XL AND $161 on a BB gift card. I dont know what happened. I was expecting to be $39 out of pocket.receipt says1099 was price-500 AT&T Actvn 1-300 Google Coupon CPN BNDL 2-200 sale discount=$99paid the 99 with the trade in gift card. The gift card's remaining balance was $161. I just hope there's no claw backs or anything when I cancel tomorrow.

I traded a 6a and this matches my receipt.

except mine says:
1099 was price
-500 AT&T Actvn 1
-250 Google Coupon CPN BNDL 2
-200 sale discount
= $157

Then paid $60 with my trade in gift card brining my total to ~$100 cash
