Nope, it's a factory unlocked phone. You create a Verizon line and cancel it. You don't even need to activate it on Verizon network if you save the phone number in the carrier contract during order but if you activate it on Verizon it remains unlocked.

So can you break it down a little? Essentially you can buy the phone at the discounted price, then just not activate it on Verizon, activate it on another service and there's no other charges?

The pixel 9a thread that I linked in the post has step by step details but yeah you buy the phone $100 off and then you cancel the line with Verizon that you created in the process. The phone is yours to be used with any carrier.

For anyone curious, the 10a (should be announced soon) is rumored to no major hardware upgrades or improvements vs the 9a. Apparently, it will have the same display, camera, battery, storage, memory, and chipset as the Pixel 9a.
