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.

some people might have this in their Amex Offers:
Straight Talk - Smartphones, Prepaid Plans & More
Spend $45 or more, earn $20

2 phones + 1 tab is $120 (+ tax)
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)
Tab promotion is limited to one per account
Community Reviews
The bundle stands out as a strong value for a Moto G Stylus 2025 phone pair plus TCL Tab 10 NxtPaper, especially for reading and light media use. The tablet is repeatedly described as an eye friendlier e paper style screen, good for comics, PDFs, and e reading, and it arrives unlocked with three months of service. The phones are praised for being smooth enough for everyday use, with 8 GB of RAM and a better chip than cheaper alternatives. The main caveat is the unlock and service timing, since the phones need about 60 days of paid service and activation details can affect the clock.

Hopefully you can get support to fix it otherwise it's going to be difficult to unlock.
Set up of the phones was a breeze. As stated - the advantage of the Samsung is that it is being kept up to date with Android and security updates.
In true SD fashion - I bought the deal with no real inclination of how to put all gear to use. Looks like a lot of value for the dollar...thanks!

Do you know if it is possible to order the TCL tablet and two phones as you got, and only pay for three extra lines? Should I activate Styluses before to get multi-line discount and get those devices free?
Thanks in advance!

You can log into your account and see if it applies the discounts in your cart. Activate all the phones on the same day unless you plan on buying more than 60 days of service (see posts above)
It says I need to refill the lines February 02. Should I worry about that? Besides not getting 30 days of service, will I have issues with 60 days of paid service to get phones unlocked, because they already cut days of my service initially?
First time, don't really understand how to deal with this.
