Unlocked Samsung Galaxy A16 5G 4GB/128GB Blue + New Line Activation with Verizon $54.99 BestBuy

Steps to follow to get the deal:

1. Go to Bestbuy Listing for Samsung Galaxy A16 5G 4GB/128GB Blue and choose "We'll help to connect this with carrier".
2. Choose Verizon and then new number (you can also choose to transfer a number but given that you are going to cancel it first thing new number is better).
3. Go through checkout and fill out verizon related info. Note down the account PIN you used as you might need it later during cancellation.
4. You can pick the phone up in the store. After pickup, setup verizon account with the new phone number.
5. Chat with CS to cancel the account. Activation fee is waived if cancelled within 3 days.
6. The phone is factory unlocked, sealed and ready to be used with any provider.

Basically this is similar to the price of this same device when purchased with any carriers in locked state with mandatory over inflated first month plan like $55/$65 etc. This at least gets an unlocked device which can be uses elsewhere. Also carrier devices are mostly 64GB, this is 128GB storage.

Personally, I don't do these activation deals at Best Buy but people have had better experiences. If you can make it work for yourself, its a great device for $55, especially being unlocked.
