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 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.

$2400 C1 GC back pending.
Unlike most, planning to stick with VZW Simplicity plan. Tmobile has gone off the deep end.

Order the phone pick up the phone get home set up an account with verzion. Make a few calls and text. 8 hours later I did the chat told them no service at work cancel the line. Said I wasn't going to pay anything else and the account is closed. I can't even log into my old account. I was worried there would be some kind of catch well there really isn't unless you buy it online and not pick up at store than you might have to wait 35 days or 2 months to cancel but even paying 2 months for service the phone is going to be $250 cheaper than what Amazon has it for right now.
