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!

How to cancel ATT service?

Can anyone help me
I called ATT and told the number, they were saying they can't cancel

do we need to activate first and then call?
Did you get the phone already or it's being shipped. If not ATT line might not have been created.

In the Trade-in option, it doesn't give an option for an unlocked phone. I have iphone 13. Should I select any carrier for ordering online for pickup?
yes, I selected Tmo for my unlocked Iphone 13 mini and it worked just fine at store pickup😄

I can't confirm how BB trade in works as I have not done this in the past but they should on theory honor the trade in value in their website

It might have the IMEI from pixel 9 when they activated it.

After picking up the phone you can cancel the line to be on the safe side. You can technically cancel it now if it's showing up but that might mess your pick up.

My order keeps getting canceled. I tried Verizon and AT&T. Anyone else experience it? BB employee said something about reactivation check? First time I ordered, I waited in the store for 30 canceled. It was "being prepared" before it was cancelled.

So, I got the phone and it is certainly cool. However, I kind of had my heart set on the Pixel 9 Pro (not XL version). It is unfortunate it was not an option for this deal. However, I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a good option/s for trading the XL in for the regular 9 Pro.
I figure with the original base price being much higher, perhaps there is somewhere to do this and break even or even get some credit. I think it might be worth it to me to have a phone that fits in my pocket and is more comfortable to use physically. I'm perhaps in the minority here, but I wanted to see if anyone else had ideas about this.
Also, I didn't get any Verizon information with it when I purchased, just a sim card I have not inserted. I need to poke through the rest of the thread, but I'm wondering what to even tell Verizon when I call, since I don't have any info to give them other than the contact information I presume Best Buy gave them.

You should not insert the SIM. You should cancel the account as soon as possible, it should have been activated when you picked up the phone from BB. Refer to the one plus thread/wiki in the original post for details about bills later on.
Will you have to pay for the first month service since it has been activated?

Are you porting a number or creating a new line?

I've twice porting number for google voice and both times it can't activate and eventually gets cancelled.
