Deal Details
Visit the deal page on a desktop browser. Also do store pick up if possible to get the phone unlocked right away otherwise you might have to wait for 35 days for unlock.

You can select new customer and pay in full to get the $480 price. You can then select simplicity plan. Once you get the phone you can just cancel the line. Verizon unlocking policy states the devices are unlocked immediately if you pay in full. Their cancellation policy states no activation fee within 3 days and then only prorated charges if you cancel your line within 30 days.

***You might have to wait for 35 days before the phone is unlocked if you don't do store pickup in person as Verizon considers their online store purchase with delivery not secure. You can cancel your line nonetheless as the device will still unlock automatically after 35 days****

Community Reviews

This Verizon Pixel 11 Pro deal is mainly attractive as an upfront discount on a new-line purchase, with store pickup often reported as the smoothest path. The phone is generally carrier unlocked after activation or pickup, and Google Fi or other non Verizon eSIM tests are the usual way to confirm it. The biggest caveat is Verizon's confusing unlock and cancellation behavior, with some orders unlocking immediately and others showing a 35 day wait or needing support. Billing can also be messy, with prorated charges, full month bills, and possible cashback timing issues to watch.

  • Buyers who want a cheaper unlocked Pixel and can use in-store pickup, because pickup cases repeatedly showed the phone unlocked right away and avoided the 35-day wait.

  • People who plan to use the phone on another carrier after setup, because the device can work with Google Fi or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

  • Shoppers comfortable activating a new line briefly, because the phone can be verified unlocked and the line canceled the same day with only prorated service charges.

  • People who want a Pixel 11 Pro for everyday Android use, because it ships with a clean OS and regular updates without needing custom ROMs.

  • Buyers who need immediate eSIM flexibility on day one, because shipped units can stay locked for days or require Verizon support before another carrier eSIM will work.

  • People who want to install custom ROMs or degoogle the phone, because Verizon units have a permanently locked bootloader.

  • Shoppers who do not want to manage Verizon billing follow-up, because full-month bills, prorated adjustments, and chat-based waivers can still be needed after cancellation.

  • People who need a simple no-hassle purchase, because the checkout and unlock flow can involve credit checks, payment verification, and repeated order failures.

Just picked up my phone from local Verizon store. Unboxed and activated phone on Verizon. Added Mint Esim to make sure it was unlocked. Mint service connected no problem. Chatted with Verizon rep online and service was cancelled in under 10 minutes. Just told the agent service was terrible at my home address and they didn't even question it. I now have a shiny new sage green Pixel 11 Pro for $515 out the door. If the agent told you you owe the first month, try a different agent. Others in here saying to stay away from deal because to many hoops to jump through or potential clawbacks, they are wrong. It was super easy and I'll be enjoying my new Pixel
Did you verify you won't be charged anything? Activation fee or first month?

I got a phone today and talked via chat to request cancellation. I was told that I will need to pay in the final bill $45.88, and my cancellation date is officially confirmed for October 25, 2026. Why do I have to pay for the full month of service? Do you guys have any tips to avoid this charge? I used the service for only 1 day! Thanks
No they should cancel the line immediately. They are trained to do that and it's the normal course of action when one cancels a line. Be firm but polite. Tell them it's under Verizon's return policy (not a regular service cancellation). Point them to https://www.verizon.com/support/return-policy/ and then "standard monthly account service termination"

Hello, cant you just port out the number to Google voice or similar and it auto cancel the line ? Then you don't even need to talk to Verizon at all
Yes you can. However you should create an account with Verizon as they will likely send you a bill with full monthly amount and you have to chat with them get things waived. if you do all through Verizon they have a better trail of the cancellation too.

You might still get a bill with monthly charges for which you have to chat again to cancel. However, as you have realized and I keep saying if you know how the things work it's a pretty easy process.

"soon going to ask about the device unlock". did you ask customer service? I thought it's automatic once you activate your phone line.

Download the T-Mobile mint mobile cricket app. And try to install a esim using their trials. If it works, your phone is unlocked

Insert another carrier SIM or check the available mobile network in the settings as mentioned in a post couple of pages earlier.

Yeah you would need to keep the line for at least 30 days probably 60 days until they give you the cash back. Did you have any issue with canceling line or did they make you pay another month's charges?
Yep. Same day cancelation. To be fair the service did suck where I'm at.
