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.

You see it today?
I had an offer for $600 that came in a couple days ago, and it's good through Sat. Checked verizon's site and I can still get either phone for the discounted price.

Picked up the phone at the store and went home.
Checked the account online, and the phone was listed as unlocked.
Started the Google Fi trial, and the phone works.
Had a chat with support and canceled the line/account.
Confirmed zero balance afterward and no other charges.
All of this took 30 minutes.

So I find that when you go through their normal "my plan" sequence it doesn't show the discount but going through the simplicity plan process does.

- New incog window go to vzw.com
- click on the "learn more" in the big red box for simplicity plan
- click "get started" in the big red box again for simplicity plan
- now you should see a grid of phones, filter by Google and you should see the discount

Not sure why you don't see it for non-simplicity

Yeah, and Verizon is not charging any activation fee right now so you don't get charged for that either. This is mentioned in the same webpage
Now the most important question will be, will the c1 cashback be credited even if we cancel the link before the cashback is credited?

Simplify plan is a requirement for the discounted price.

Bought yesterday with C1 and see it pending right now. Hope nothing goes wrong. Does anyone know if we need to actually pay for 2 months for the plan or is 1 month ok? The pending payout is in Nov though... but the deal says open a new line and never specifies how long to keep it open?

I have no idea...I don't do cashback. But with this much of cashback it makes sense to do it. I'd be cautious and perhaps pay the plan until the cashback is posted

Ordered two days ago, picked up at store yesterday, activated and swapped over my Tmobile eSim. Cancelled today via text chat on their site. Great Deal until the next one comes along.

What if I want to keep them new in the box, and not activate, just call Verizon to cancel? Will that work? I used the imei to check with AT&T and T-Mobile website both says compatible, will that confirm it is already unlocked? Thanks

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

1.Ordered yesterday
2. Delivered today
3. Activated the line and in my Verizon account it showed device is locked. Reached out to customer support, they asked me few questions and performed device sync(don't know what it is) and then it showed device is unlocked and eligible for other domestic and international carriers.
4. I didn't cancel the line as I will be using it until my C1 rewards are credited.
