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!

FYI, I ordered this phone last week when it was $599.99. I was able to get Best Buy to price match to the lower $399.99 price. I also traded in an MetroPCS iPhone 13 for $400, so the Pixel 9 XL was basically free. Always port out your number which cancels the account automatically. I suggest using Numberbarn.
If you port out number within 3 days, is the activation still waived or you'll be charged the full month?

how were you able to price match? i've chatted with 3 different reps and none of them are letting me get the difference because i "traded in a device". i also got this on the $599 deal and traded in an iphone 13. did you chat with them?

Purchased pixel 9 pro xl 128GB for 109+tax after pixel 7 trade in. During checkout, Linked my Verizon and Added a new line with a new number.
Picked my phone and traded my pixel 7 128 GB
Came home and checked my Verizon account and noticed a new line is added to my account with a 35$ activation fee and monthly line charges.
Had a chat with Verizon customer care and told them that, I want to cancel my new line and they asked for questions like was the phone fully paid and checked with supervisor and finally cancelled my line with out any activation fee and monthly charges.
Overall got this phone for 119$ with a pixel 7 128GB trade in.

I was not able to get them to price match from the $599 deal earlier this week. They say because there was the additional $200 of trade in promo for the iPhone 13, they wouldn't be able to apply that on the price adjustment on top of the $200 discount. How did you do it?

What lesson? Never done trade-in game before. I'm still using Moto X 4.
There is a reason they practically give them away. My pixel 7 overheated constantly, the face id never worked, neither did the thumb id. The battery took about a month before it needed charging before the day was over. Google pay tries to pay before you even activate it. Pixel lacks basic functions that Samsung and Apple have figured out 10 years ago. Like I said, there is a reason why they practically give these away every year.

So reporting back from the Bay Area run for this crazy deal

I had 128 GB iPhone 13 from metro deal -$268 paid then

Online Best Buy shows everything out of stock for 250 miles

Still played my card drove 40 mins to nearest one. Stood outside till 11.00 as store was closed. Was the first person at the mobile booth. Store employee came out and asked if I was for there for pixel deal. Said Yes with a smile and he said I only have 1 last one.

Then proceeded for the deal which he couldn't get to work for the longest time. It was showing him the deal but he couldn't apply it to the cart. He called sup who said call corporate and they gave him a code to apply - I overheard it was Google with G caps.

So we continued the checkout process and I kept telling him I needed to trade in to get the value as showing online. He was baffled cause it wasn't working for him and said it never happened before.
He said for the trade in - he will give you $200 BB gc plus I'll apply the promo deal with the next before you wipe the phone. The whole time he kept pointing out that while this is not a locked in contract you still can own credits to Verizon if you cancel after 3 days. Within3 days you can come back and get a full refund on what you paid today by no trade-in phone will be returned. So you'll lose the phone.

I persisted since I was reading here that you can cancel easily.

And after 1 hr of bouncing from page to page he was told he has to take my finger print for trade in. I agreed. He scans to BBgc for $200 and the goes to printer to get another coupon I apply to cart for—- $250 .. he said you're lucky. System gave you more. so I got $450 for trade in. So we proceeded once more this time with me signing a bunch of things and getting a New Verizon line and number.
I reminded him that I need no contract/monthly bill credits etc and he confirmed this is unlocked phone. The line is charged.

He voided the SIM card charge after I complained.

So in the end I traded my 13 128 gb and walked out with XL pro 128 gb + $50 BB gc

Fantastic deal if I am able to cancel Verizon.
No idea how you did this, my store didn't help me out at all

Is it worth it trading in iPhone 13 for this? I originally bought it unlocked from eBay for 650. should I get a cheaper phone first to trade in?

Anyone got a message from AT&T - "There is an issue transferring your number, since the Account/PIN are incorrect".

When ordering at bestbuy they only asked for Account number. They did NOT ask for Account PIN. How to fix this?

Also will the AT&T line be only cancelled after the number is fully ported? It seems at Sunday their offices and chat are all closed. So no way to communicate with them.

200 dollar profit maybe 250 but it depends on if it's worth it. These things overheat and I don't trust Google build quality.

I don't care for the size of the 24 ultra but this isn't even worth switching too after the hassle of selling.

Traded in an iPhone 12 64GB and set up a new Verizon account
Got the phone for $79 + tax = $85

Set up my Verizon online account

Looks like they have a disconnect page where you can cancel there. Any issues doing that instead of calling in?
