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.

Community Reviews

This Verizon Pixel 11 Pro deal is mainly about getting a heavily discounted flagship and then verifying carrier unlock after activation. The strongest upside is the low out of pocket price, with store pickup and immediate activation often leading to an unlocked phone that works with Google Fi, Mint, T Mobile, or other eSIMs. The main catch is Verizon's confusing unlock behavior, since some units stay locked for hours or days and the bootloader remains permanently locked. Cancellation usually needs chat or phone support, and full month bills or prorated charge adjustments can take follow up.

I asked one of the reps on the phone and he said the phone will stay locked for 60 days once fully paid off, I asked another employee few days later and they he said it will instantly unlock...
Can't trust Verizon I've had so many billing issues with them and it takes hours each time to resolve something minor

I think they are but they unlock it after it's paid off unlike Verizon
Currently bootloader locked pixels are locked for life - no matter the carrier.

Prepaid Device Unlocking Policy:

Devices purchased from us will remain locked to the network until the completion of 365 days of paid and active service. After 365 days of paid and active service, we will automatically remove the lock unless the device is deemed stolen or purchased fraudulently.

Is this true? This us written in t&c
That is for PREPAID service.

I cannot wait to jump ship.from Verizon. Their billing and customer service is by far the worst I've dealt with.

Added international travel pass days to 2 of my lines. Went to Venice. 1 phone roamed, 1 phone didn't. Exact phones on same os. Exact esim settings. Purchased a data only esim for that device after dealing with the worst customer service for 2 hours and then not fixing it.

Asked for a refund of travel pass days. Promised credit. Nothing.

They're just so bad anymore

google fi is free phone for 2 years with 35$ plan, why this is a better deal?
Besides Fi being useless, it's expensive & I'm getting Spectrum for free.

To make sure I understand this deal, buy the phone with simplicity plan ($30). Cancel the plan within 3 days and the phone will be unlocked?

Was about to ask this. Are any carrier pixels not bootloader locked?
generally ATT and TMobile ones can be bootloader unlocked, but I didn't check the pixel 11 series.

Yeah. The simplicity plan will be $45 per month if you don't port a number but you are cancelling it anyway. The phone should be unlocked after you activate it on Verizon network(it might come unlocked but I am not sure), you should verify this before cancelling the account.
