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.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes, many cancellations were completed the same day or within a day after activation, but Verizon may first show a full-month bill. The practical outcome reported is prorated service charges for a few dollars to about $10, with some cases needing a chat or call to waive the full-month amount.

  • Often yes, but some units show a delayed unlock state and need a Verizon unlock request or up to about 35 days if Verizon treats the payment as "unsecure." Store pickup with ID has been the most reliable path to immediate unlock, while shipped orders have more reports of delay.

  • The most reliable check is to test another carrier's SIM or eSIM, especially a free Google Fi trial eSIM. If Fi or another non-Verizon carrier works, the phone is unlocked; Verizon's status page or the available-network list can be misleading.

  • No. Verizon-branded Pixels are bootloader locked, so OEM unlocking stays greyed out and custom ROM flashing is blocked even if the phone is carrier-unlocked. That is separate from carrier unlock status.

  • Yes. The discounted price appears through the Simplicity Plan flow, not the normal device cart flow, and some shoppers only saw the $479.99 price after navigating through the Simplicity Plan banner and selecting the phone there.

Thank you. Do i need to pick this up in store to get this unlocked?
Yeah do pickup in store as mentioned in OP. This is paid in full and their policy is to instantly unlock such devices but they have another clause of whether you used secure payment or not. That somehow gets applied if the phone gets shipped instead of you picking it up at the store with an ID. If that gets enacted it's 35 days wait but cancelling the line does not affect unlock after 35 days.

By the way, I bought the phone from store, shows up as unlocked in the verizon account page. However, when I tried to add another esim (other than visible cos visible is owned by verizon, like tmobile or others), the phone says contact verizon. I did, and the support says I needed to wait for 60 days to add another esim. So, it is unlocked but not truly unlocked. Bait and switch. Returning the phone.
if thereis qr code, open camera, scan the qr and add esim from there

Does it being 35 days mean it'd be additional $60 for the 2 months cycles?
I have Fi and I'd like to keep using it. How do I make sure the phone is unlocked and able to run the fi esim?

No it's 35 days wait but you can cancel the line right away, well you should try to unlock it before you do that. You can run Fi app to move the service to the P11 pro. Be careful if you are doing a Fi promo and within 120 days period as that will void the promo

Thanks! I'm on the Fi promo for less than 120 days but for the line only, not the device

If you are doing service promo not associated with any device requirement you are good to move esim using Fi app.

I ordered online and picked up in store. Activated and tried adding another non-Verizon esim with no problem. Chatted with a rep to cancel; they initially wanted to charge me to the end of the billing period, but after insisting, agreed to cancel same day and pro-rate. Great deal, thanks OP!

It might be permanently bootloader locked so be careful with your purchase.

After unlocking, will the Pixel show a stupid Verizon logo when booting up, or will it not show one at all?
Can I trade in an old phone and get an additional discount on the purchase price? I think it is only a statement credit, so trade-in savings aren't an option.
