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!

It would be cleaner to do the port and cancel but if there is no line in the account they can't send you a bill.
TY, just ported then canceled for safety.

My line didn't port out either, but I was able to cancel anyways. I had to try 2 times on the chat, because the 1st time they told me only can do that over the phone, and the phone rep wanted to redirect me to the store, but I tried again on the chat and was able to cancel without a problem, I have to say, they will want you to give them a good reason to leave and try to convince you to stay lol.
TY, I had to say I can't speak so that the CR was willing to cancel it for me through the chat. Still wasted a lot of time tho cuz they were trying to 'fix' the thing for me.

I understand, but I'm just checking if it's the same for everyone not to see the details of the trade-in they select during the checkout process. Can you check your original order confirmation email to see if you also see a Trade-in Item (Description Unavailable)?
Mine also said Description Unavailable for Pixel 7 and in past trade-ins, they did have the proper phone name & model. No issues, picked mine up today and traded in the Pixel 7. I will miss the Pixel 7, one of the better phones I've had.

What was your order total? I was charged 209 and tax. 237 which is fine but I thought they will charge me 499+tax and when I will do tradein, I will get 209. Receipt attached.

Trade in for 8a dropped to 190, promo looks to be over.

Best Buy just charges you the net after the trade-in price, so yours is correct.

Please help:

Ordered the phone for pick up 2 days ago. Chose to port in my visible number to ATT. Received 2 messages from ATT claiming the port out information is incorrect (I recall bestbuy never asked for them except the phone number). Just picked the phone and the ATT sim-card. Went home and logged into the ATT account, ATT showed suspended account, no upcoming payment or bill. Contacted ATT, they said the port is failed.

Should I do the port then cancel my ATT account? (CR says I need to call the port in department)
Or, directly remove this account? (Can do this on the website)
Or, just ignore it?
Don't do anything. You're done with AT&T. They never got your account up. woot

Quote from FancyOctopus3213 :
Picked up one today from store, they game me a Verizon Sim Card along with the phone, how do I cancel the Verizon service since I went with new number but has no Verizon Wireless account.
Read my earlier post, same situation. The Verizon scammers do everything possible to obstruct your ability to learn your account number and to obstruct your ability to use Chat to cancel. Don't waste your time trying to set up an account. Endless pin and password resets take you in a circle "your entered information doesn't match"...

B.S. Call in to obtain your account number. You will need to have the Sim card installed in an unlocked phone so that you can receive a text to confirm your identity.

Ask for supervisor , get I.d.'s and case number ask them to email you confirmation of cancellation. Don't take no for an answer. then immediately file an FCC complaint online which is easy to do and one with state regulator.

If they later bill you the above will support your right to dispute. Many states require that wireless carrier must cancel on request within a set number of days. And you can refer to Verizon's published policy which their CSR's deny.

My experience with Verizon's Visable was much better, Good tech support when wi-fi calling would not work and they sent out a free replacement Sim 2 day air.

The 499 price only for Verizon now and you can just choose to get a new number. Both of the carriers are the same in terms of getting activation fee waived etc.
