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****

Then add the new line in that account. That allows you to track the cancellation and bill through that account even after the line is removed.

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.

Purchased my phone+line on 10/14, activated on 10/16, device is still locked. Tried contacting CS over chat 5 times now, each time they say they have raised ticket, but no resolution. Very frustrating.

How long after activation that I can cancel service without charges?

They will charge you for prorated service depending on the day you cancel. I think the buyers remorse policy is 30 days so you should cancel before that. Note that it's 35 days of wait for unlock even if you cancel the service unless they unlock it before that from their end.

I have US Mobile on Warp as my main line, and transfering service to the Verizon phone does not work either; phone has to be unlocked. Really frustrating!

mine was never marked ready for pick up so I called them after couple of hours (order email said would be ready in 1-2 hours). on call, i was told it is ready so I went there in another 2 hours and they grabbed it for me in 10 min.

Did you try with Google Fi trial SIM first for free to check if the phone is unlocked. If it works then it might be a problem in transferring your eSIM. In that case, you need to provision a new eSIM by adding the IMEI of new phone in US mobile website and push it to the phone.

I was worried after reading about some issues transferring, but my experience with US Mobile Warp was straightforward. I posted an outline of how I proceeded (for two phones/lines): https://slickdeals.net/f/20058873-unlocked-pixel-11-pro-from-verizon-256-gb-with-a-new-line-which-you-can-then-cancel-480?p=187247316#post187247316

Interesting the device I picked up from my local authorized retailer shows unlocked on the portal, but I am unable to add any other carrier eSIM when scanning a QR code (Google Fi or Lyca).

The first device, shipped from Verizon directly doesn't even allow me to Use a different SIM -> Set up an eSIM functionality.

This new one allows me to scan a QR code, but doesn't seem to accept it.

Edit: adding eSIM via camera works fine, but not the Setting -> Network path.

If transferring eSIM does not work, provisioning a new one should work. Google Fi trail for example downloads and sets up a new eSIM. Various MVNOs allow provisioning and pushing new eSIM from their website using the IMEI of the home.

Just spoke with a verizon agent over chat to confirm:

In our system, it's listed as an 'instant' promotion because the discount is secured the moment you checkout today—meaning you don't have to mail in an old phone or wait weeks for a rebate check to clear. However, to receive the full value of that $620 savings, the line does need to remain active. Verizon applies that discount divided up across your monthly bills over 36 months. Think of it like a loyalty bonus—we cover the major cost of your brand-new Pixel 11 Pro up front, and in return, you just hang out with us on the network!
