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****

Motorola Razr fold: $1200
Motorola Edge 2026: $240
Motorola Razr 2025: $240

See this thread for more details on Verizon line activation and cancellation. Make sure to open a regular account with Verizon first with email address and passwd. 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.

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!
No, that's not how this deal works. It's a new thing for Verizon as 36 months bill credit is heavily ingrained into their training and culture. This deal is an upfront discount coupled with their new simplicity plan. There is no bill credit or requirement for keeping the service for 36 months. Once you buy the phone, your phone related transaction with Verizon is over, you can then go and cancel the line.

Ordered on Monday for in store pickup. Picked up today, activated the service and the phone is showing unlocked in the app already.
Does anyone know if I port out this number, will the service get canceled automatically?

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.
Hey not sure if you noticed this but they recently added a free promo on verizons page. Get google pixel watch 5 or Tab S10 FE on them when you buy a google pixel. I was wondering if i could just get the tablet with the tablet line and just cancel before 3 days. I was already planning on getting this phone but the tablet would help cover this.

Yes it will but you won't have any trails to contact Verizon later so my advice always is to open a Verizon account with email address and then add the line in it. When you cancel the line you can still log into the account and chat about bills etc.

Those are bill credits so you pay the full price upfront and need to keep the account open for 36 months to get the credits back.

Ah okay but the pixel 11 pro deal is still active. I am thinking about doing it this weekend. I also heard some people running into unlocking issuses?

I'm assuming the 'free' watch or tablet is 36 months device credits, and full amount due if you cancel.

If you do the store pickup as mentioned in the original post, the phone should already be unlocked.

C1 cb is $900 for me so I opened up 2 more lines and got cb confirmation. I guess I'll keep the lines open and wait it out until payout given the high value of the cb.
You got full 900 reflected and you paid in full 480? Mine was 690 but amount ended up showing 406

I feel like its a hit or miss - my first order gave me $209.58 (on $1,099.99 value), but at that time, the offer was like $225 or $250, which is close enough.

The second offer this Monday was $900 and I placed an order and got the full $900 pending.

Thats incredible, $900 cb on the $490 phone? My best C1 offer was $475. Didn't jump, but probably will if I get something similar.
