Be Advised- Title is misleading:
OP left out the required $60 for a month of service in the title.
Phone will Unlock automatically 60 days after activation date. Must be activated to unlock. No need to continue service after first month. It still will unlock,

(assuming you don't need anything backed up)
also, check sickw dot com
there is a free imei checker which tells. you if it's locked or unlocked
- For all cellphones Activated on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically 60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service.
I am wondering however for the 2nd month's service, if I can just get the cheapest plan at $40, or original plan at $65?- For all cellphones Activated on the Verizon network on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked automatically 60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service.

Even some people filed an FCC complaint and TW answer was take this $10 monthly plan and 30 days later it should unlock.
It's worth a try, but it sounds like they have also been telling people that two months paid service is needed.

Any update? I activated my phone on 2/27 and paid for 1 month of plan, so it should've unlocked per the original policy. But it's still locked.
If I do need 2 months of paid plan, do they need to be consecutive months? I ported my number back to my original phone so I don't even have a number on the iPhone 13 anymore.
If I do need another month of plan do I need to port the same number in again, or can I pay for the plan but not port any number? I have another phone plan so I don't need to use this iPhone 13 until it's unlocked.
What customer service number did you call? Did they say if it has to be 2 months of continuous service, or will it unlock after your 2nd month ($10 plan)?
Afterwards, the unlocking department rep transferred me to a costumer service rep. I was told the cheapest 1 month plan that would satisfy the unlocking requirement is $10/month for unlimited talk and text (no data). I already ported my number out, so I asked to be given a new number.
Hopefully my phone will unlock by the end of May. I'm really bummed that they baited and switched with the unlocking policy change, but at least $10 for another month isn't horrible (assuming it does unlock). Fingers crossed.
rep told me $10 per 7 days, not a month.
another rep told me $40/month is the cheapest
third rep told me there is a $10/month, at this point i already purchased the $40/month..
Lastly, since I let the second month (60d) lapse, i need to restart my activation for a total of two more months as the first activation will not carry over. It feels like this specific thread was targeted in regards to the policy change since most people would not have not paid the second month of service.
