Unlocking a cellphone associated with one of Verizon Value's brands refers to disabling software that would otherwise prevent you from activating the cellphone on another carrier's network. However, due to different carrier technologies, an unlocked Verizon Value cellphone may not work, or may experience limited functionality, on another carrier's network. Verizon Value is not responsible for any limitations of service, or otherwise, resulting from the use of an unlocked cellphone on another provider's network. Verizon Value is unable to unlock Non-Verizon Value branded cellphones using Verizon Value service (BYOP).
For customers with cellphones capable of remote unlocking (this includes most iPhones and some Android cellphones):
Verizon Value will remotely unlock the phone when it becomes eligible for unlocking, provided it meets the following conditions:
The cellphone must be in working condition and turned ON.
The cellphone has not been reported stolen or lost and there are no indicators of fraud.
The cellphone was activated with Verizon Value service by purchasing and redeeming an airtime plan on that specific phone ("Activation")
For all cellphones Activated prior to November 23, 2021 on any carrier network and all cellphones Activated on the T-Mobile or AT&T networks on or after November 23, 2021, the cellphone will be remotely unlocked upon customer request after twelve (12) months of active paid service.
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.

If I buy the 60-minute 90-day TracFone plan, when the Moto G Stylus arrives is there any reason to first activate the Moto G Stylus on StraightTalk, instead of immediately just rebranding the StraightTalk SIM to be TracFone without first activating it on StraightTalk?
My only goal is to carrier unlock the phone, and I just want to be sure that StraightTalk will not later bill me $199 (clawing back the initial discount) if I don't ever activate the phone on StraightTalk.
