It's unlikely, I have not seen pixel a's go below this price.

The lowest I've seen pixel a series phones go are around $300. If it's $100 off for using Verizon then the lowest would be $200 assuming they are still doing that promotion.

Actually I plan on shipping my phone from my local Bestbuy. So it will take a day for me to receive it. So how do I get the information when it ships?

Visible had the 9a at $199. a few months ago and mine (some others reported the same) was unlocked. Excellent phone.

The pixel 9 pro xl thread I linked has step by step. I'd do a store pickup instead to get the phone ASAP to be able to cancel the account within 3 days. The phone number is in the full customer service agreement when you open the account with Verizon during the ordering process. You will need that for cancelling the account and you can do that as soon as it ships

So when you call the customer, dont they ask you to pay the remaining amount?

There is no remaining amount. You are paying it in full while ordering. The $100 discount from BB is for you to open up a prepaid account with Verizon which you can then cancel.

Nope, I'd select the lowest one for less prorated charges, you are going to cancel anyway

BestBuy site (and title) is very misleading, the $250 is only for a new line, not for activation
