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.

When I try to scan the QR (in setting app) it just go back to the Contact Verizon screen
It took me a few tries, and I also restarted and powered off and on again the device like the chat suggested, but on the 5th/6th time after all that it managed to go through

So basically you order phone once you get it active and make sure it is unlocked and cancel the line?
Also what if not unlocked? Can I return for full refund? How many days return policy
Thanks

That's a load.of BS. This is an upfront discount, you are paying $480 for the phone, period.

Just picked up my phone from local Verizon store. Unboxed and activated phone on Verizon. Added Mint Esim to make sure it was unlocked. Mint service connected no problem. Chatted with Verizon rep online and service was cancelled in under 10 minutes. Just told the agent service was terrible at my home address and they didn't even question it. I now have a shiny new sage green Pixel 11 Pro for $515 out the door. If the agent told you you owe the first month, try a different agent. Others in here saying to stay away from deal because to many hoops to jump through or potential clawbacks, they are wrong. It was super easy and I'll be enjoying my new Pixel
Did they send a cancellation confirmation? I'm debating if I want to replace(tell I lost it) my credit card I used to buy this phone just in case of claw back or continued monthly charge.

Download the T-Mobile mint mobile cricket app. And try to install a esim using their trials. If it works, your phone is unlocked
Do you have to subscribe to mint to get a free trial? I imagine you gotta submit cc

Fwiw, I did this about a year ago and my device has remained locked to Verizon. Keep good records and verify the unlock.

Other deals are nice too although I wish the trade in credits would be better. Anyone getting the moto fold for 1200? Or the z fold for 1400ish?

You are better of getting fold 8 from Fi for $1200. It's unlocked and you end up paying $60 for service.
