1) Does the iPhone 6s need to stay on an active prepaid Verizon account for the full 60 day period to be unlocked after 60 days? The answer may be NO, and you may be able to insert a Verizon prepaid SIM to activate it and then remove it and 60 days later it will be automatically unlocked without needing to buy a second month of service, according to this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsKGtYzLm2U

2) Does the iPhone 6s need to be activated to start the 60 day unlock countdown? The answer is most likely Yes, even though your receipt may say, "Item Active within 3 hours." You can search for "Apple Warranty Check" and input the IMEI to check if it is activated. If you do not have an Apple account you can also check on this site: https://eimei24.com/

It will likely show that your iPhone 6s has NOT been activated yet, and you need to insert a prepaid Verizon SIM to start the 60 day countdown..

There are messages (Starting with post #157) in this thread with instructions for having it unlocked if you have a Postpaid Verizon account, but this takes some effort and calling Verizon.

3) Can you insert a SIM from a Verizon MVNO and have it work before it is unlocked, and not need to activate with a prepaid Verizon SIM? Yes, this seems to work at least with the Visible SIM and maybe Total Wireless according to soem posts. It is not confrmed yet with other Verizon MVNO SIMs like Xfinity or Pagepluscellular.

EDIT: PageplusCellular does NOT work, nor does Xfinity Wireless SIMs. In fact do NOT insert those SIMs as it may mess up the SIM and you may no longer be able to use them

UPDATE:
EDIT: in post #240, freebirthtoad says the Xfinity Mobile SIM does not work: Post #240

In post #297 there is further confirmation of problems trying to use a Xfinity Mobile SIM and that it may mess up activating the phone.

Does anyone know if only prepaid service counts or it can be activated by existing postpaid SIM card and it will still count towards unlock (only people who actually know for sure please).

Verizon prepaid phones won't work on Verizon postpaid until they're unlocked (requires 60 days on Verizon prepaid service, cheapest plan is $30/mo).

That is correct. But for nanny can, you have to deal with a 4.7 inch screen.

No. 60 days, and it happens automatically - no need to submit a request.
ATT and Cricket are 6 months.
Tracfone family is 12 months.
Boost is 12 months.

Just got 1 from target store near me. Here is my experience till now:

1. Phone is not unlocked . I tested with non-verizon sim and it did not work
2. Will be able to activate with Verizon Postpaid but after 1st call , you will get text saying phone need to be activate first with verizon prepaid.
3. Then I called customer service and they remove that check and now its working fine.

I am trying to talk to customer service to see if they can unlock it now as its paid off , instead of waiting for 60 days.
