Verizon is asking the FCC to get rid of the 60 day unlocking rule

3/7/25 – Activated service, but had to call Customer Service to get it working. Phone number never showed up in my account.
60+ days passed – phone still locked.
5/10/25 – Paid for the 2nd month after reading all comments here
Checked almost daily—still locked.
5/22/25 – revisited this thread and tried my luck with chat support. Told them I'm going to travel overseas. Rep was super friendly—asked for account info and IMEI. He said the unlock might take up to 2 business days and gave me a ticket number (also info for porting out, even though I didn't ask for it ).
Right after the chat ended, I restarted my iPhone and—boom: No SIM restrictions.
My phone #2 I bought the 2nd month before the 60 days because of what didn't happen with #1 and it unlocked on day 61.
I honestly didn't trust them that #1 would actually unlock after the 2nd paid month (I also had activation issues, that phone is in NO account I have access to). They have alrwsdy shown they can move the goal post anytime they want. So when I saw this I jumped on it. I had already paid. I just wanted a guarantee it was happening.
Am I mad I had to buy an extra month for each phone. Sure. But the amount of time and effort people are putting into the fcc and bbb and anything else. It isn't worth my time. I know they'd say if we all fight it we'll win. Im a scab. I paid and I am not putting forth the effort to fight for what it was supposed to be. I don't have the time and energy right now. I got 2 phones at a discount and they are getting swapped to my main phone plan asap.

We will need to pull up the device info here in our system and to check the eligibility there's a need for us
to verify the account by sending a verification code.

Before, it was 60 days after your activation date, but now it has been changed to 90 days after your last
redemption date.

I was extorted into buying 60 more days and you changed the terms AGAIN
I will be going overseas and need the phone unlocekd
I will be charging the extra days back to my credit card
Because this is twice your company has lied
As with all customer service, it's going to be YMMV depending how on point your agent is. People who got shot down should keep trying again since opening a new chat is so easy to do.
Glad to be done with this clown show. Good luck everyone else!
