Deal Details
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 is a steeply discounted Pixel 11 Pro deal through Verizon, but the real appeal is the upfront price cut and the chance to cancel after activation. The strongest reports say store pickup tends to unlock the phone right away, while shipped orders are more likely to trigger a 35 day wait or a manual unlock request. The main catches are Verizon bootloader locking, possible full month billing or prorated charge cleanup after cancellation, and some uncertainty around cashback timing. A good fit if you want the phone and can handle Verizon's extra steps.

Opened ticket on 10/2 evening on call, was told 24-48 resolution.
Called back to check status 6th 7th 8th. Finally cancelled without unlock on 9th.
Horrible experience. One time one rap told it's unlocked and to try after factory reset and she would follow up on Saturday 10th as she was off in next few minutes and out of office for next two days.
Such a waste of time. Will just wait 35 days
same here, they even give me a confirmation # for the unlock request, after 3 days, my phone is still freaking locked, phone says it's locked and won't take my t-mobile sim... Verizon support is crap...

They won't unlock. Two tickets that were raised for my device were closed with the note 'cannot be unlocked as per policy' as per customer care reps.
Figured... I reached out this afternoon and the rep said it will unlock within 1 hour and that they'll credit me $50 for the delay. I haven't seen either done yet unfortunately.

If it says unlocked on my VZN account online, is that all the confirmation needed? I don't plan on opening this box.

No, I looked at that. It needs a different plan and 36 months bill credits

I have a few quick questions for experts here:

1. I have a phone number that I am happy to transfer to Verizon for this deal (from Tello). Verizon says that they'd lower the per-month bill to $30/mo. In case of problems with getting credits, would they keep the $30/mo for me, or raise it to $45 just because?
2. After I buy the phone and activate the phone line, is it better to just cancel the line (what everyone seems to do) or would it make sense to transfer the line out once more (somewhere unaffiliated with Verizon)? Would transferring the number out increase the chances that their system will just prorate everything instead of closing at the end of month? Is it possible/easy to transfer a number a day after opening a line?
3. My real numbers are with Total Wireless on the BYOD deal. Does anyone know if Total Wireless BYOD account would accept an unlocked Verizon phone? I know they don't accept any other Tracphone devices...
4. Is it enough to just pick up at any "Verizon" store to get it instantly unlocked or do I need to go to a corporate store? Do I need to activate it in the store or just pick it up with an ID?

Thanks for any wisdom!

Data point: purchased two Pixel 11 Pros yesterday, and was successfully able to activate today on US Mobile Warp (Verizon).

It was far more simple that I was worried about based on prior comments. Step by step:

-setup Verizon e-sim during phone setup
-complete setup & copying from old device
-visited usmobile.com & began change device process; entered IMEI 2 from P11P
-back to phone: sim, add esim, usmobile grayed out (from previous device), select use different sim
-setup esim
-there was 1 US Mobile e-sim available to install
-click setup
-turn on the sim

And that's it. Very easy and straightforward. Now I just need to cancel the Verizon service...

-ace

Edit to add: it was VERY easy to transfer my Ultra Mobile e-sim from my old device as it was not grayed out; this also confirms the phone's unlocked as Ultra mobile is the TMo network

2nd edit to add: cancellation was very easy (minus getting a real life human being on the phone); rep asked a few questions trying to get me to stay and I politely declined; sent an email link to click through for cancellation; during cancellation there were mentions of the credits to be received for the proration (screengrabs!)

3rd edit to add: received my final bill via email. $11.40 per line.

All is all a highly recommended deal. Thank you!!!

1. They should keep it at $30/month but they can and will increase the price down the road as they have been known to do with the plans.

2. You can do either and none has a greater chance to getting prorated bills. The reason I advice people to create a Verizon account with an email and then add the line and subsequently cancel is that you will have a way to chat with them for the bill when the line is cancelled and you will have a clean cancellation from Verizon and track the bill etc.

4. From what we have seen it's just picking it up at the store with an ID which perhaps make it a secure purchase and unlocks the phone instantly. I think both corporate and retail store operate in similar way but I'd prefer corporate.

Mine still is not unlocked after chatting with Support 3 times now Frown as well. A good indication if they followed through with what they say is checking if OEM Unlocking is still greyed out.

  1. Open Settings on your Pixel 11 Pro.
  2. Tap About phone. [
  3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Build number 7 times in a row.
  4. Enter your screen lock PIN, pattern, or password when prompted to enable Developer Mode.
  5. Go back to Settings, then tap System > Developer options.
  6. Scroll down and look for OEM unlocking.
    If Greyed out completely and not able to toggle probably still locked to carrier.

That's for the bootloader; the Pixel 11 Pro purchased through Verizon will have a permanently locked bootloader. You can try activating a different eSIM, but if you see an error about contacting Verizon you should still be able to tap "Use a different SIM" and scan another eSIM QR code.

That is for the bootloader. For Verizon pixel it will be greyed out forever. It does not have anything to do with the carrier unlocking though so to verify that you will have to try with another eSIM like Google Fi free trial etc.

correct this is why the phones from these carriers are not worth as much compared to original phones bought by default. since we cannot remove their crap ware.

open source is always the future corporations owning IP is the corrosive to capitalism and instead is against innovation.

buy a cheap sub 100 phone from mvno and just wait instead i got the tlc unlocked for mint from metro after reading forums i can use it that way hehehe. so i jumped on mint 6m plan to use instead. i have another metro phone that is awaiting 1 yr unlock

so this is perfect while i wait i dont need it right now they are my backup phones. tlc isnt as good as the moto edge at 65 dollars instead if you install gcam its about 80% of google pixel camera. too bad those on slick deals aint what it used to be not much real techies that know how to tech just bunch of hedge fund strokers nowadays saying the over priced

CPU GPU RAM COMPUTER is such a good deal while its still over MSRP LMAO hedge fund strokers.
