Do I have to do anything to have my device unlocked?
No. Your device will be unlocked automatically as long the following applies:
- You're 60 days from purchase.
- Your device is not flagged for fraud, or reported as lost or stolen

I USED to believe lower rate = higher prices. But the past few yrs, everything got out of whack.
Anyways, I was interested in this deal, after confusing back and forth you take the monthly cost x 36 thats your pay off amount, and the only reasonable one is the 12 and its sold out. I can't complain though I was in on the 13 mini deal wish I had gotten more.

The 2 x S22+ and 1 x S23+ I received from Walmart weren't activated. Seems like Walmart just scanned the UPC and shipped it to me.
Calling Verizon and giving them the number generated at the time of checkout wasn't helpful. Verizon said it comes back as a "business line" and that my SSN didn't pull up any active account.
Tested the phones with non VZW SIM's and they were locked.
So basically I'm stuck with these locked devices since they'll never be able to be "activated".
Not sure how the bill is going to look like. Do they just bill me for the phone or they bill me activation and service? Or is it like the "free" iphones from last year.
Does anybody know if I activate these locked phones from a new account that's setup independently of the phone purchase, would that start the 60 day unlock timer?
Last time I had a similar issue with a prepaid Tracfone 6A I returned those.
