I want to switch to Pixel 3 XL but i have to get it on VZW because my elderly Dad (97) has a flip phone that i pay for. If i activate it on VZW can i switch to FI later?
You aren't restricted to buying the phone from Verizon. You can buy it directly from Google (don't specify the need for Verizon, it will still work) then you can bring it to Fi at whatever time you need to.

Just left Verizon after 10+ years. Got the pixel 3xl on the black Friday deal. Loving it so far. My bill is 44 dollars for the month. I use very little data, always on wifi.
