Verizon Pixel work on ATT?

[rong21]

The verizon store here has a couple of Pixels available for purchase.

I am currently on ATT, if I purchase this phone from them outright will it work with my ATT sim card?

 

[Almeuit]

Yes. It will work just fine.

The big question is, will they sell it to a non Verizon customer?

This would be the biggest hurdle. Depends on the rep I guess.

I was told at the local V store the phones they sell have to be activated on V - may be a local thing, or a V thing - best to check with the store you want to purchase the Pixel from.

Not being a current Verizon customer didn't even cross my mind. I figured since I wanted to buy it outright it wouldn't matter. Guess I ought to call first before going over there.

The unlocked from Google will work, which I am currently using on AT&T. I don't think the Pixel from Verizon will work on AT&T because I thought it was carrier locked.

All Verizon LTE phones are carrier unlocked. They have to be due to an agreement they made for some spectrum.

I have a VZW Pixel running on Fi but I also have an AT&T sim card. The VZW Pixel works fine on AT&T..

How about Best Buy? They should be able to sell you a Pixel out right if not on Verizon right?

 

[KillerClaw]

When I bought my phone there they said they don't actually sell the phones outright. That's just a total cost (with financing) figure.

I don't think they sell to non-Verizon subscribers.
Your options are two-year contract, if you're still on an old plan, or monthly installments with discount on a newer plan.

I just did this. I preordered/cancelled once I found out that there was going to be a Pixel Store here in NYC. Then, I find they're not actually selling phones, so I order again, only this time the wait was first week in November. Too long. So, Best Buy is only online, but the Verizon stores have a pretty good stock. Here's what I did- Don't go to a franchise store, go to an actual fancy Verizon store. They will not sell you a Pixel without a Verizon line, but they will sell you one month of prepaid service, an activation fee and a Pixel Phone. I did this for $794.78, Pixel (small) 32gb. My original Google order was like 707.00. So a $90 premium, but I'm typing this on my new Pixel instead of waiting. T-Mobile SIM works 100%. I don't care about the bootloader.

I bought one from Best Buy no questions asked. Didn't ask if I'm on Verizon

I ordered one off of best buy for use on att and it works great.

Bought mine from Best Buy yesterday. Verizon version. Using it on AT&T just fine.

What about updates from a Verizon or Best Buy Pixel being used on AT&T? Are the updates based on SIM so you'll get them right away from Google?

 

[fjd726]

I'm thinking of getting a Verizon version for Tmobile. Anyone here have a problem with receiving updates?

No. I've had the Verizon edition on T-Mobile and now on Fi and I have no problems with updates. Updates come out the same time as the Google Edition.

 

[fjd726]

Great thanks. So no waiting for Verizon to send them out after they get it from Google?

Can you use on AT&T while making payments to Verizon
