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 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.

Since the simplicity plan is postpaid and we're paying it in full, does that mean it's unlocked when we get it?
It won't be unlocked untill you activate the phone on Verizon network, at that point Verizon sends a signal to Google server to update its unlocked status. At least that used to be the case, I don't know if they can now update the Google server without even activating the phone on the network.

Looks like you can pick it up at the store for the same price.
Unfortunately all stores nearby do not have 512Gb version.

Interested in the Pixel 11 Pro 512gb. It's $600, but full price tax kills the deal for me. $121.75 in SoCal tax.

When I click on the provided link, it just takes me to the Verizon page to log in to an account or create a new one. Is there no other way of looking at the available deals? Scratching my head on this one.

It says the following when purchasing at the full retail price:

You'll get a credit of $17.22/mo per device on your Verizon mobile bill for 36 mos. Tax may be charged on your monthly bill or due at sale based on delivery or store location

Was about to ask this. Are any carrier pixels not bootloader locked?

You should have an option of paying the full price at the bottom, it should only charge you the discounted amount.

AFAIK only google store "unlocked" version has an unlockable bootloader. All other carriers have the bootloader permanently locked.

Yeah you have to choose option 2. This is something Verizon is doing different now than locking people in for 36 months. I don't know how long it will last so if you want to grab one of these phones this is the time.
