Deal Details
You need to open a new line with Verizon which you can cancel once the phone ships/picked up. Activation fee is waived if cancelled within 3 days and you end up paying prorated charges for couple of days of service.

Note if you get it through FI this will still be less and factory unlocked.

You need to use it for 60 days

Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from one of our authorized retailers are locked for 60 days after paid activation. After 60 days of paid active service and ordinary usage, we will automatically remove the lock
No this a factory unlocked phone and remains unlocked. You create a verizon line during the ordering from bestbuy which you can subsequently cancelled. This is an unlocked phone sold from BB

Factory unlocked doesn't mean network unlocked.

I meant network unlocked. This is the same unlocked phone that you would buy from BB/Amazon paying $100 more if you choose not to active with carrier.

OP are you certain that if you cancel within 3 days Verizon doesn't charge any early termination fee (or blacklist your device)? I saw same offer with unlocked icy blue version for $499 last night but didn't wanna risk it. I assume BB gets commission for these sign ups, if we cancel how does VZ make a profit?

Edit: Disregard, I saw your other posts detailing the process. Thanks OP.
