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 flagship Pixel at a steep upfront discount, with the best value coming from store pickup, activation, and then canceling the line after verifying unlock status. The phone can work with other carriers like Google Fi, Mint, T Mobile, or Xfinity once unlocked, and the account often shows it as paid in full. The main catch is Verizon's confusing unlock behavior, since shipped orders sometimes stay locked for days or 35 days, and the bootloader remains permanently locked. Cancellation can also trigger full month bills or bill adjustments that may need chat support.

So I canceled the line on the phone, and they said it'll take some time, but I may get a bill.

If they delete my account since it's the only line with Verizon, how can I see what the bill is going to be?

I haven't got anything yet. I had called someone. The agent I spoke with said everything was all set, and it's closed. It'll take 20 minutes or something. So I said OK and hung up. But when I asked them about the bill, she said I'll get something in the mail in 60 days which seems insane. I had the service for like a hour.

Anyone with US Mobile that had a smooth process? What's the best way to do this? The US Mobile app?

You should always open a Verizon account with your email. Then in the add the account add that line so you can keep track of bill etc even when the line is cancelled. Also they are trained to cancel at the end of the billing cycle so you have to make sure they disconnect right away, you will loose service on that number instantly.

Perfect. I saw a bunch of carries. I also checked on the verizon account. It says the device is unlocked there. So I guess I'm good. Thanks!
That method is not definite. I suggest doing a free Google Fi trial, it will download the app, set up an eSIM etc. As Fi runs on T-mobile, the phone is unlocked for sure if that works.

Well they deleted the account, and the line isn't working anymore.

I could create an account, but I don't see how I'd be able to add the line if they closed it?

I successfully activated on ESIM2 Verizon MVNO, US Mobile Warp, but it took contacting US Mobile support. Automated process hung at the step of transferring to new device. Support tried some things and ultimately had to escalate - they took my email and said I'd get an update in 24-48 business hours after having to contact the 'parent carrier' to fix it. Assuming some Verizon provisioning issue that's probably impacting all sorts of folks per this thread. They had it fixed Monday (started on the weekend) and I received an email when it was ready. Had to contact US Mobile support again to wrap up the transfer.

Bought online with in-store pickup. Activated the line with Verizon (ensure I get C1) and showed unlocked on Verizon the first time I checked that day.
Did you try to add the esim via the US Mobile app? Wondering if it matters...

You can't add that line now so just have to wait for the bill

24 hours later... phone still locked and haven't seen any updates. I guess tomorrow is the end of the 48 hours and hopefully it'll unlock by then.

Did you do store pick up or shipped? I am pretty sure it will unlock after 35 days no matter what even if you cancel the account. From https://www.verizon.com/about/con...ing-policy

"Postpay Device Unlocking Policy

Devices purchased directly from Verizon are locked to our network. Devices will be unlocked automatically when purchased at full retail price or if the device financing agreement balance is paid in full.
Note: Devices previously reported as lost or stolen will not be unlocked until they are cleared from the lost or stolen report. Once a device is unlocked, Verizon will never re-lock it.

A secure payment method is required to unlock a device immediately when paying the full device balance. If a Verizon Gift Card is used to purchase a smartphone or pay off a remaining balance, the unlocking process will be delayed by 35 days. This window allows for the verification of the gift card's funds to ensure they were not obtained through fraudulent or illegal means."

Shipped. Contacted support yesterday after activation to ask about unlock and supposedly they submitted and should be unlocked within 24-48 hours.

I know it should be unlock within 35 days, but would prefer to unlock sooner so I don't have to carry another phone that has my AT&T line. I'll keep the Verizon line active until my ~$200 c1 cashback gets paid out.
