Upon checking with customer support online, this does require 60 days of uninterrupted service to get unlocked. Also for someone who already has a line active, adding a new line can get the $60 plan for $40 or lower (with auto pay).

Also. embracing for the time machine jokes, I still think 16e 128gb at $299 for the phone, was a better deal and might come back - far superior processor, 8gb ram, Apple AI support, longer os update support, convenient usb-c port instead of lightning etc. These far outweigh the potential advantages from 14 plus - 256gb, dual camera, magsafe, larger screen size etc for me.
Not true for everyone/every use case, agreed. YMMV
Is this something where you can get the device, pay a month, and then bail? And if so, could the phone be unlocked? (Sorry, if this is an ignorant question, I'm a noob.)
Yeah, the policy changes since April 1st has caused a lot of confusion. I purchased the 16e precisely on April 1 and despite the policy changes being published after I bought and they are not the same for Verizon prepaid as for mnvos, I am still going to recharge another month for my 16e, given it will need me to pay ($60 - $25 monthly discount on 16e deal - $10 from auto pay = $25) only. If I don't pay for the 2nd month and Verizon refuses to unlock in lack of 60 days of service, then worst case, I will have to pay for another consecutive 60 days at a much higher rate since I will loose the $25 discount. So, for $25+tax more, I am willing to pay to avoid any such risk.
YMMV

If you think this phone will unlock with only 1 month of paid service and stay in your closet for another month, I got some free crypto that I can give to you but require a payment to a guy in Nigeria to unlock the wallet

Verizon Postpaid: Per Verizon's official policy, handsets sold on postpaid plans remain locked for 60 days after purchase/activation, then auto‑unlock. "Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase… After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock"​verizon.com. This 60‑day rule (no mention of any extra payment) remains in effect for all postpaid devices.

Verizon Prepaid: Likewise, Verizon's published policy locks prepaid phones only 60 days after activation, with no additional paid‑service requirement​verizon.com. After 60 days the lock is removed. In other words, Verizon's own prepaid service is unaffected by any new policy – it still follows the standard 60‑day unlocking rule​verizon.com.

Verizon MVNOs ("Value" brands): By contrast, Verizon's affiliated prepaid brands (the "Verizon Value" or MVNO carriers such as TracFone, Straight Talk, Visible, Total Wireless, etc.) have new unlock rules effective 4/1/2025. Under those rules a device is only unlocked after 60 days of paid service in addition to 60 days after activation. For example, a summary of the Value‐brand policy states that phones activated on Verizon's network will unlock only "60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service"​tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com. In practice this means two months of service (roughly $60 in prepaid charges) must be paid before the unlock occurs. Visible (Verizon's own mobile app brand) explicitly confirms this in its terms: after 4/1/2025 a phone "will automatically unlock 60 days after activation date with two months (60 days) of paid active service now required"​doctorofcredit.com.

In summary: Verizon's official policies for its postpaid and prepaid plans remain a simple 60‑day wait (no mention of extra fees)​verizon.com. The only parties subject to the new 60‑day paid‑service requirement are the Verizon‑based MVNO brands (Straight Talk, TracFone, Visible, etc.)​tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com​doctorofcredit.com. Postpaid customers and Verizon's own prepaid customers are still eligible for unlock after 60 days in good standing, as before​verizon.com.

Sources: Verizon's own Device Unlocking Policy pages​verizon.com; official update notices for Verizon Value brands (TracFone/Straight Talk)​tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com; Visible (Verizon) support summaries
FWIW, last November deal at Walmart for an iPhone 14 256 was $299 on Verizon Postpaid. No credits involved. Was able to order two phones and only pay sales tax to Walmart. Phones shipped and once I received them, I immediately canceled the lines with Verizon. I paid the phones ($299 each) and 3 days of service and got the activation fees refunded (because it was done within 3 days of activation).

Phones sat on a drawer and after 60 days they were automatically unlocked.

The unlock policy from Verizon page still say it will automatically unlock after 60 days.

Device unlocking policies.
In order to mitigate theft and other fraudulent activity, newly purchased devices are 'locked' to work exclusively on the Verizon network. We have separate device unlocking policies that cover postpaid and prepaid devices, as well as special rules for deployed military personnel.

'Unlocking' a device refers only to disabling software that would prevent a consumer from attempting to activate a device designed for one carrier's network on another carrier's network. Due to differing technologies, an unlocked Verizon Wireless device may not work - or may experience limited functionality - on another carrier's network.

Postpaid Device Unlocking Policy

Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase. Devices that you purchase from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time.

Prepaid Device Unlocking Policy

Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period following device purchase, we do not lock our phones at any time.


If you purchase a 4G Phone-in-a-Box from our retail partners, you should review the back of the box to determine the lock period applicable to that device.

Unlocking Policy for Deployed Military Personnel

If you are a Verizon Wireless customer in the military and receive relocation orders outside of the Verizon Coverage Area, we will unlock your device at your request, even during the 60-day-lock period following the purchase of your device.

Thanks, got this as looks to be a great deal. I am assuming it's not necessary to pay for the second month and still it gets unlocked after 60 days? Also will I be able to use Visible SIM when still locked (Visible is owned by Verizon)
You can use the iPhone on Visible when locked, but you need to activate the Visible line on an unlocked device and transfer the SIM over. Visible IMEI checker doesn't allow Verizon locked iPhones to activate a new line even though the Verizon locked phones can take Visible SIM. I recommend US Mobile's Warp (Verizon) SIM because you can use Verizon locked phones on their lines

The deal for iPhone 16e is only for 128gb version and also it has no ultrawide camera. For me it is hard to say 16e is better than 14 plus.

Thanks for your explanation and I agree. But personally, I would still do a second month for $25 just to avoid this possible hassle of dealing with Verizon support, FCC complaints etc. But that's just me.

How did you get $25 monthly discount ?Are you the existing customer? Thanks

Do you mean if I current have an active visible line, I can transfer that line to this locked iPhone 14 Plus? Will this phone be unlocked after 60 days service on the visible? Thanks

$60 - $25 (monthly credit on the iPhone 16e deal for Verizon prepaid) - $10 (autopay discount) = $25+tax

Is that $25 discount only on 16e deal and not in this deal?

I've read through the post on for this and am still confused on the unlocking status so I need a little ELI5

Does it only need 30 days of service and then after another 30 days of waiting the phone will be unlocked
or
Does it need 60 days of service and then the phone will be unlocked?
