Community Reviews

This Verizon Pixel 11 Pro deal is mainly about getting a flagship Pixel at a steep upfront discount, with the best value coming from store pickup, activation, and then canceling the line after verifying unlock status. The phone can work with other carriers like Google Fi, Mint, T Mobile, or Xfinity once unlocked, and the account often shows it as paid in full. The main catch is Verizon's confusing unlock behavior, since shipped orders sometimes stay locked for days or 35 days, and the bootloader remains permanently locked. Cancellation can also trigger full month bills or bill adjustments that may need chat support.

  • Shoppers planning to use Google Fi or another non-Verizon eSIM, because the phone can work unlocked after activation and accept other carriers.

  • Buyers comfortable activating in store and canceling quickly, because store pickup often verifies unlock immediately and leaves only a small prorated bill.

  • People who want a discounted Pixel and are willing to keep the line active until cashback posts, because the upfront price can be offset by a large new-line credit.

  • Pixel buyers who want a flagship Android for everyday use, because it runs a clean OS with regular updates and doesn't need custom ROMs.

  • Custom ROM tinkerers who need an unlockable bootloader, because Verizon units keep the bootloader permanently locked.

  • Buyers who need immediate out-of-box eSIM flexibility, because some shipped units stay locked until activation or a later unlock request clears.

  • Shoppers who want to cancel the Verizon line without any billing follow-up, because full-month bills and manual charge adjustments can still show up after cancellation.

  • People relying on a quick, guaranteed unlock for resale or a gift, because some orders still show locked for days and may need escalation or a 35-day wait.

OK I'm so confused. So the phone is $480 wihich seems really good deal. Than it's $30 a month for service which isn't too bad I pay $20 a month for Mint. So my question is how long until the phone is unlocked if I don't cancel. Is it a year 3 months? Do I have too call. I'm currently with mint but want to get out for 3 months so I can get a new deal with them. $480 for the phone and even if I keep version for a year it's only $10 more a month for 12 months. So I'm still only looking at $600 plus taxes and fees for a phone that cost well over a $1,000. Am I doing the math right? $30 a month isn't horrible is it?

If you just want the phone then it should be unlocked if you pay for it in full and pick up in store. You can verify it's unlocked and cancel same day, you should just end up with a really small final prorated bill. You can stay on Mint if you want.

You get the phone with a new number, pick it up on store, verify it's unlocked and then cancel the line. That's pretty much about it. You are loved king at $480 plus less than $10 of prorated service charge for couple of days.

Edit: If you get the cashback people are talking about here, the phone can basically be free with $600 CB

Isn't mint $15 per month for up to a year? I saw that promo yesterday but may be expired now.

Or maybe that is just for new customers.

I think the biggest part of this that may make sense to people is if they don't want a 36 month contract which is typical with new phones.

It's a flat out discount, not bill credits spread over 36 months.

Darn the $600 CB was working last night but I was thinking about it. It's down to $30 cb now which is a no-go for me. Oh well... I am sure it'll come around some other time.

I think it will for sure. If you Google you see people referring to the 600 and 750 gcb (not going to call it cb cause it's not) multiple times throughout this year.

One last question and thanks for all the help. Verzion says their plan is $30 a month is that only if you port your number? Says After AutoPay and $15/mo switch discount. Ok have to port number. Does it really matter anyway if I pay the $45 now and just cancel in 3 days or even a month?

Be warned that Verizon is very aggressive with sending accounts to Collections. They have your SSN, this deal is for postpaid account (not prepaid). If there is any clawback, it won't matter that you have changed your credit card number.

Best of luck! Seems like a great deal on paper.

Bought and picked up phone yesterday. 512gb $600 + tax. Didn't even bother activating the verizon line, went straight into stalling the eSIM for Mint and it worked flawlessly.

Set up a verizon account and activated the line today so that I could have account details handy to cancel it. Just said I don't get proper service at my workplace and denied help troubleshooting it.

FYI- I had set up the free 6mo of Google AI. As soon as the line was cancelled, all my gmail/google doc tabs were freaking out saying I no longer had that anymore

So I assume you didn't port number and signed up with a new number for $45

Don't be that guy. There is no fine print or terms and conditions to this. It's just a flat dollar amount discount off of retail price.

It literally just says:

If I had a nickel for every time that effing CB didn't track via c1, I'd be a millionaire. I swear to god they make it half-broken on purpose and hope people don't follow up on it. Infuriating...
