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.

I will wait until tomorrow morning and call and cancel. waiting 35 days for it to unlock is ridiculous. By that time black Friday deals be rolling in.

Sounds like those doing a pick up are getting their devices unlocked right away?

I will update the post with store pickup instructions. It seems picking up at the store is acting as a ID verification making the purchase secure and hence the phone is unlocked right away

I looked at their unlocking policy in a bjt detail. Apparently they don't consider online purchase as secure even if they are done through their website. So one needs to wait for 35 days before the phone is unlocked. Good thing is you can cancel your service and device will still unlock. That used to be the case with 60 days wait as well. I don't know why the phone was unlocked for some who ordered earlier. It's possible something change in the backend while(because) the deal was going on to change the unlocking behavior.
Good to know I guess I need to keep my phone for 60 days for the cash back to hit so it doesn't matter for me but that's interesting

It's online but as mentioned in the comment you should pick it up at the store. They might honor the price if you order at store but I am not sure

If you do store pickup the phone is unlocked right away. I am guessing picking up with an ID makes it secure.

dang people that ordered online have to wait 35 days? whack. MY local store only had black at 256gb. I would prefer other colors but didn't want to deal waiting for the order to ship and this deal to change.
