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.

Also can I port out and a months later port back in on the other phone?
That way the phones both get unlocked and you don't pay for service on a number you are not actually using.
That said, I have an A16 and it's slow at everyday operations like opening the Settings. Debloating helps but not enough.
As a side note now I now have an A26. I debloated, and it feels pretty snappy. Not bad at all. Maybe you need to debloat more? Maybe the extra 2gb of RAM makes a huge difference? I'm not sure.

Curious as I only seen deal threads for the moto and like none for the A16
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank AnciusD
also ppl referred 30 plan i only see 35 cheapest
However $30? No idea there, as I haven't done it for that site. And as I mentioned, I tend to go more for the sure thing vs higher paying sites.

What I don't like, and is likely just a 'me' issue, is that the edges of the tablet aren't tapered. So they kind of jab into my fingers after a while with the square edges. Not a major thing, but a little annoying.
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.

It's likely they talked to a poorly trained rep - there's a lot that don't have a clue & give out incorrect information.

Is the conversion to Total for the second month possible for the unlock?

Again, Phones require 60 days of new paid service to unlock once the phone is registered on any of the brands - carry over service won't count so existing plan doesn't qualify. Even if it were a TW phone carryover service wouldn't count towards unlock.
Playing around with sim only causes problems, it's possible your phone could get automatically registered to wrong system - best to leave it in the original phone before you screw up the unlock.
