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!

The phone is factory unlocked so no matter which carrier you choose from but I found it is easier to cancel service with Verizon... just my 2 cents!😁
The easiest way is get a new number with Verizon then cancel the service after pickup the phone. Then you can pop the T-Mobile sim in or transfer the esim which I did. Hope it helps to clear your confusion!
What's the steps to cancel verizon service and get the full refund?

It seems like ATT creates an account right after ordering the Pixel 9 Pro XL on the BestBuy website. Does anyone know if its possible to cancel the line right after picking up the phone without ever activating the ATT sim card and completing the number port? Also, does the 3 day cancellation countdown begin from the date the account is created or from when the phone is picked up?
Also wondering this. My account was created as soon as I placed my order but my phone will only arrive on Wednesday…

Are you talking about the "Please confirm your email address" email?

3 days is considered the day they created account.
Once you pickup the phone directly go to chat session and ask them to cancel dont insert the sim,
Tnx, I guess I gotta be quick about it. But do you know if the ATT reps will agree or be able to cancel the line if I never actually inserted the ATT SIM into any phone, and therefore never actually ported over my number to ATT? Or would it be easier to just activate the ATT SIM and then immediately port out within the 3 day window?

I forgot I had an iPhone 12 to trade in , but I already picked up the phone. What would I have to do to get the trade in value at this point? Return the phone and reorder? Can they adjust the order somehow?

I just chatted with their live agent to disconnect the service same day right after pickup the phone.

Yes, you can register an account with ATT after confirming your email. After logging in, it will show your line of service in the account, along with the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I have not even picked up the phone BTW

Explained what i did in Easy Way:
  • 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.
How do you reclaim your Google Voice number after completing the port out?

I have been doing similar deals with Walmart. When I ported out, the $35 activation is still there and also charge for 1 to 3 days of service. When I call in to cancel, I only pay 1 to 3 days of service. I have 5 lines with them.
Does anyone know if ATT will bill the $35 activation fee, like Verizon, if the number is ported out within 3 days (instead of cancelled)?

When you signed up with Verizon, did you go through an email you got? Or just go to their website and sign up?

Quote from lzhoucs :
I think there's a difference between ATT and Verizon activation/cancel process. 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.
It's likely that Best Buy will be tracking your activation status (see order details). Failed to do so might result in break of terms and charge back from Best Buy.
