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 is a steeply discounted Pixel 11 Pro deal through Verizon, but the real appeal is the upfront price cut and the chance to cancel after activation. The strongest reports say store pickup tends to unlock the phone right away, while shipped orders are more likely to trigger a 35 day wait or a manual unlock request. The main catches are Verizon bootloader locking, possible full month billing or prorated charge cleanup after cancellation, and some uncertainty around cashback timing. A good fit if you want the phone and can handle Verizon's extra steps.

  • People who want a Pixel 11 Pro for everyday Android use, because it can be activated on Verizon, verified with another carrier eSIM, and then canceled with only a small prorated bill.

  • Buyers who need a phone that works with Google Fi or other non-Verizon eSIMs, because the device can accept a different carrier eSIM after activation.

  • Shoppers who want to avoid a long carrier contract, because the discount is applied upfront instead of through 36 months of bill credits.

  • People comfortable doing a quick activation-and-cancel workflow, because store pickup, immediate unlock checks, and same-day cancellation have worked smoothly for some orders.

  • People who need an unlockable bootloader for custom ROMs, because Verizon units are bootloader locked and cannot be flashed with a custom Android OS.

  • Buyers who need a guaranteed instant unlock on delivery, because shipped orders can stay locked for days or require a 35-day wait and support escalation.

  • People who want to cancel without any billing follow-up, because Verizon can still send a full-month bill that may need another chat to adjust.

  • Shoppers who need a simple, no-hassle eSIM transfer, because some units show Verizon contact errors or fail to add another carrier eSIM until extra troubleshooting.

What does this mean?One-time bill charges-$620.00The following charges will appear on your first bill. credits may appear in 1-2 billing cycles..Google Pixel 11 Pro credit -$620.00$40/line activation fee waived
Nothing that's how Verizon bills are structured but this is an upfront discount and at the end you are paying the amount mentioned at the bottom.

Insert another carrier SIM or check the available mobile network in the settings as mentioned in a post couple of pages earlier.
So there are other carriers when i tried the mobile network setting; but when i tried to set up another esim, it said to contact Verizon?

Which eSIM you are trying to set? It should be unlocked if you can see other network. Also check IMEI.info with the IMEI number. Try Google Fi trial with esim etc.

I tried Mobilex (which is Verizon mvno) but can't be added (said to contact verizon). But i can add and activated google fi trial. So weird 😅

Anyone was able to add verizon based esim or adding esim within the phone setting? Cuz when i click add eSIM inside the phone setting, it would just go straight to Contact Verizon at xxx

I did this yesterday online and picked up at the store. I also have $150 CB showing pending, but I'm on the fence on whether I just cancel the line now and call it a day, or hold off until the CB finalizes. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble.

It was unlocked, and the Verizon account shows that it's paid off and upgrade eligible.
