Sadly no 256GB version available for unlocked models. 128GB is pretty tough these days.

Ultra is 256 but higher price but it's the best price on that so far.

Nope, the phone is factory unlocked and not associated with any carrier.

Website said you have to activate it with Verizon or AT&T, but no mention of having to open a new line for it.

Once you select and go to the next step you will see activation with Verizon new line has that $100 discount.

Just finished a pick up order and cancelled the line via VZ chat. I noticed I was missing a physical sim when I got home, but it turns out it was a non-issue/small inconvenience. My phone's esim automatically activated with Verizon when it booted - then I was able to extract the phone number to cancel. Hope this helps. Thanks again OP.

Read through the threads I posted about bills afterwards but you should be good.
