Effective Date: April 1, 2025
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.

The other reason could be their system flagged your payment. Sometimes that happens with one time use cards or prepaid cards.
Another possibility is that they just ran out of stock and their inventory was not accurate. That used to happen all the time with them in the past during those iPhone 11 refurbished deals.

My plan ends today when it should end tomorrow, called customer care they had no explanation but that there system shows today. Called unlock department and they said it will be 60 days tomorrow. Will see if it unlocks tomorrow with service ending today. It may be important if you need to port your number out
What I'd want to do if possible is activate the phone immediately, use it for the 1 month, then activate the tablet for 3 months, so 4 months of service. But does the tablet come activated already? Not a big deal if it does, just curious how this works.
Don't really care if the phone remains locked after the one month, but assume if not on autopay we don't really need to do anything? After 1 month service just ends, and that's it? Same with tablet (3 months)?
