Verizon Offers $620 Off Pixel 11 Pro via Simplicity Plan; India Sees Smaller Flipkart Discounts

Verizon is currently offering the Google Pixel 11 Pro at a significant discount of $620, reducing the starting price to $479.99 for the 256GB model. This offer applies to both 256GB and 512GB variants and requires customers to sign up for Verizon’s Simplicity Plan. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is also discounted by $580, bringing its starting price to $719.99. These are upfront retail discounts rather than monthly bill credits, with no trade-in requirements. In India, the Pixel 11 Pro XL is available on Flipkart with a Rs 10,000 discount for HDFC and ICICI Bank credit card users.

Virginia Counties Urge FCC to Pause Verizon's Copper-Line Sunset

The Virginia Association of Counties asked the FCC to scrutinize Verizon’s plan to discontinue copper-based landlines in Virginia, urging a delay beyond Sept. 26 and closer coordination with Verizon to ensure residents in rural and suburban areas—where cellular, fiber, or satellite alternatives may be unreliable—don’t lose voice service or 911 access, and to protect businesses and essential devices that rely on copper lines.

Verizon retires copper lines, steering customers to fiber or wireless by November

Verizon says it will replace copper-based landlines with fiber or wireless options and discontinue copper service by the end of November, with FCC approval still pending. In rural areas lacking fiber, continued service will be provided until FCC‑approved equipment can be deployed, while regulators and local officials anticipate impacts on seniors and households that rely on landlines. The decision signals a broader shift away from traditional copper networks to modern alternatives.
