Oh, I thought it didn't matter. If you don't put in the Sim Card, you wont get a bill. That is what I was told. They charge you exclusively for the phone. It even shows up on the bill like that.
The rep I spoke to said that I would get a $20 credit towards my first month of service with project fi as much as of a data hog as I am project fi would not work for me but if you're going to give me free service I'm more than willing to give it a try

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!
So I ordered my Pixel on Saturday 12th from Fi. It came in today in all it's silvery white beauty. So I'm getting it all set up, installing my apps, and all that jazz. It's all going smoothly for about an hour or so (I was doing this while dominating on COD Free for all, a rarity). Then, after about an hour or two into getting my apps downloaded, it started crashing and restarting. I believe the experts call this boot-looping. It would crash, restart, be fine for 2 - 5 mins, crash again etc.
I took out my sim card, put in into my old phone and had Google call me. The technician talked me through doing a factory reset, which I figured he would. But all to no avail. It was still crashing and stuff. So now, after waiting ALL THIS TIME (granted, not nearly as bad as the folks who ordered on day 1), they're processing a replacement for me. Who knows how long that will take?
I thought I had left this brotherhood of No Pixel Having Fellows!! I thought I was done with you! But, alas, I'm back.
I'm glad to hear that the other Fi orders have shipped. Hopefully, your phones are fully functional when you receive them.
Update: Website is telling me that I'll have my replacement tomorrow or the day after. Once I get the replacement, then they'd like me to ship (for free) the original. I have doubts that it will really be that quick since there are stock issues. I'll update as things happen.

I would imagine that they have some stock "in reserve" for issues like yours. I know it sucks but maybe their crazy release schedule has been so they don't exhaust all their supplies so they can take care of issues like your promptly
My wait is almost over. Received the Daydream View today and my black 128 gb Pixel XL shipped today overnight for delivery tomorrow from Google. Ordered on the 21st too.
Ditto - exactly the same situation & result (so far) for me. I did chat with a rep last night, and they said it disappeared because they're doing a system upgrade...yeah right...

Did you order from Google Store? You received the free Daydream even though you ordered after the Preorder date? Or did you order the Daydream and pay for it? I originally ordered the Silver XL on 10/14, then received the email telling me I was eligible for the free Daydream and would receive a code later on. But then I canceled and ordered the Black XL on 10/21. I received my black XL last Wed. But I never received a Daydream email for the 10/21 order because I was past the Preorder date.
It is really starting to annoy me that Google/Verizon is providing less info not more the closer this gets to shipping. The more I look at the V20 I am wondering why don't I just go get the LG phone in store in stock tomorrow morning. Its cheaper its bigger it lets me use my 256g sd card. Plus I am sure I will get forced to take the note 7 update any time now and really get pissed. Not my fault Samsung has recalled my phone now twice. But here I am wondering if my provider will brick my phone to force me to trade or burn down my house. NOT a good place to leave customers - that's on big Verizon - can ya hear me now - oh ya - you don't care
