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.

Tab comes with 3 month service and it is already unlocked
For the phones, We need another 1 month service. We can use $35 bronze plan to unlock it
Amex $20 back /Chase 15% has offers
(Very few people has success with buying Walmart $25 Straight Talk top up card & there are some, who rebranded the phone to Tracfone and then bought 90 days plan for $20 and unlocked the phone)

Do I have to use a different name and e-mail to get the deal now? With the account in place I figure I'm no longer a "new" Straight Talk customer.
Please advise - thanks!

NVM - the second time I put in my email for order tracking the site responded with evidence of the order - "pending remote fulfillment" whatever that means...
I want to pay the 2nd month right now then give the phone away, basically. but need to be sure this works.
btw the phone has a nice display, its a good deal, but the CPU is mid range thats why it's not super smooth. not a crazy deal, just ok.
Also the amount of bloatware these discount carriers and phones cram is stupid. seems to be worsening.
I just bought 1 phone and 1 tablet.
How to check the tablet is unlocked?
For the phone, if there is a gap in 60 days, 2 months plans, will it work?

A break in service might cause the automatic remote unlock to fail - so you'd have to open a support ticket once the 60 days are up. There have been a lot of reports along the lines of YMMV since all the Verizon budget carriers tightened their standards to make sure service is purchased for a second month prior to any 60 day unlock. This is VZ violating an agreement they made years ago with the FCC - a lot of folks in the cell phone space are unhappy about it but our complaints to the FCC have not changed anything.
No, you just add another Moto Stylus 2025 phone in cart and pay just $30. I have ordered another Stylus and 2 Samsung A16 phones for $55 with auto pay after activated the first order of Moto Stylus. Even first order is in shipping. You can activate the line without the sim like Metro by T-mobile.
also ppl referred 30 plan i only see 35 cheapest

Yes you can add plan on last day - and they've never gone back & charged full price after the purchase. There's plenty of information about how ST works on their website and in all the Straight Talk deals on SD. They have deals like this all the time.

So I am safe to right now go on there and choose change my plan to 35 plan even with ~27 days left in first billing cycle?
Is it possible to transfer my Google Fi number to straight talk when activation?
And after 2 months, I transfer back to Google Fi.
Is it possible and worthy?
Curious as I only seen deal threads for the moto and like none for the A16

at a quick glance, both oled, a16 weaker cpu and the straight talk version has 4gb ram. so, not even close to the stylus (8gb ram, better chip)
the 8gb ram vs 4gb thing is decisive. as 4gb is just not acceptable in 2025.
plus the a16 has very dated looking bezels and camera cutout.

That said, I have an A16 and it's slow at everyday operations like opening the Settings. Debloating helps but not enough.
