I'm wondering is the phone not activated when you pick it up? I ordered online and picked it up same day (today) at the store. The employee scanned the sim card that was taped to the box. This was the general order pick up area and not the cell phone provider area. When I checked my credit card account, it shows no pending charges from Verizon. I only have a pending charge from best buy for $10 plus tax. I do have an email from Verizon saying that I have an account change which I believe is an automated email that goes out when I purchased the phone.
Therefore, I think I don't need to activate the phone at all, and save my self the hassle of canceling with Verizon. The reason I think this might work is because I had signed up for a visible mobile a few months ago with an existing phone and number port. They shipped me a new sim card and number port was approved, but I changed my mind and didn't activate the sim. After 30 days elapsed, Visible canceled the port. I was never charged for the service.

You don't need the activate the phone but I think you still need to cancel the account as a new line has been opened from Verizon as you got that email from Verizon. See the threads I linked for step by step directions and discussions
I couldn't get the online chat working, so I called. The process matches some of the info in the other threads. Overall it took 30 min to cancel. This was mostly because I didn't have the new phone number or account number for them to look up.
My phone IMEI was used to lookup the account and cancel it with the pin I had assigned. Note it seems they want to use text authorization for cancelation, but I was using google voice and it wouldn't work with their system.
I think they will send a paper bill, because I have no Verizon number or account linked to he online account.
Anyway thanks for posting this deal from that Samsung renew post!

I don't have the final bill from Verizon yet. I know the bill will be prorated with no activation fee. I'm guessing less than $15
