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.

If I had a nickel for every time that effing CB didn't track via c1, I'd be a millionaire. I swear to god they make it half-broken on purpose and hope people don't follow up on it. Infuriating...
Best bet is to do them on mobile. Don't have to worry about adblock or anything else messin with the tracking cookies.

One last question and thanks for all the help. Verzion says their plan is $30 a month is that only if you port your number? Says After AutoPay and $15/mo switch discount. Ok have to port number. Does it really matter anyway if I pay the $45 now and just cancel in 3 days or even a month?
You will be canceling after a day or so,.it does not really matter as you should be paying less than $10.

IMO the checks are more for verification / fraud prevention purposes.

My only credit report that's locked is Equifax (the other two are unlocked). There was no soft inquiry showing on Equifax, so they're likely pulling one of my other reports.

The first order I did required identity verification, second order didn't require it.

You can port a throwaway number from Google voice etc?
Well I dont think I can switch to a port, if I already have their given number. I was planning to cancel right away before but now I dont want to lose the cashback potentially if I cancel...

What documents do they ask you for to verify?

Ok got it up and running but it's still locked. Do I need to pay the first bill in advance? Sign up for autopay. What's my next steps. I haven't really gotten a bill yet?
Never mind i now have to wait 35 days cause i used paypal my bad. Anyway to change this? Do i now just have to wait 35 days to cancel the line and suck it up and pay a month and half.

Ok I can start a return I guess that will be more of a hassle I'll giver verzion a try since I'm going to swich over too them anyway for free with Spectrum. This will give me 35 day trail I guess I can look at it that way.

I cancelled and had the service disconnected immediately. My Verizon bill is ready now and is showing a full month charge. Anyone experience this / have had success getting the bill adjusted for the 1-2 days of service used?
