Do you know if I can order one more using different SS# and the same address?
Thanks
With ATT, the sim is activated and account is created when the phone is shipped/ready for pick up, so you will have your account info for cancellation before you get the phone and you have to call to cancel the account/service to avoid getting charged.
With Verizon, the sim is NOT activated and account is NOT created when the phone is shipped/ready for pick up, so you won't have your account info until you putting the sim in use, so technically there's nothing to cancel if you just throw away the Verizon sim and you won't get charged at all. By putting the sim in use only to get a number for cancellation is NOT necessary.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
1. what do I enter as account number on the bestbuy website?
2. anything else i should know?
All the porting, activating, cancelling, etc seems confusing.
Or is it more simple than it seems for someone starting from scratch for either carrier?

How am I supposed to cancel the service without the phone number or account number??
I thought about just ignoring the sim card but I don't feel comfortable with the Verizon agreement I signed when checking out so I popped in the Verizon sim card to get phone number then chatted with their live agent to disconnect the service same day to get a piece of mind!
After my account was disconnected I got the final bill $7.24😃
- I can get $325 for my pixel 7 pro, which appears to leave $84 left to pay
- I can select store pickup to avoid activation fee?? Is this true?
- If I select Verizon w/new number, there's no actual requirement to put the sim in the device, which means I never activated service, which means I don't have to cancel anything? I can just pull my sim from another phone and be on my way with existing service?
- Purchase the Phone:
- Bought a 128GB Google Pixel Pro XL from Best Buy for $399.
- Selected the pickup option for the phone.
- Trade-In Process:
- Traded in my locked iPhone 12 with Metro PCS for a $320 trade-in value.
- After the trade-in deduction, I paid $84 (including tax) for the Google Pixel Pro XL.
- Set Up Verizon:
- Signed up with Verizon while keeping my existing google voice phone number.
- Ported my number from Google Voice to Verizon.
- Disconnect Verizon Service:
- After picking up the phone, contacted Verizon through their website chat.
- Informed Verizon to disconnect my service, and they complied.
- Verizon confirmed that I don't owe anything and the phone is unlocked.
- Reclaim Google Voice Number:
- I will be able to reclaim my old number back to Google Voice.
Hope it will helps! If you have any questions feel free to ask.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
Once you pickup the phone directly go to chat session and ask them to cancel dont insert the sim,
