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 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.

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!
I saw notes that certain deals were meant to end by midnight 12/31. You should log in to your account and see if they are still offering this same deal - I am wishing I bought two Samsung devices instead of one Power 5G and one Samsung. Security updates matter to anyone using the phone as a daily driver. I did see the Stylus phones getting a September 2025 security update for Android 15. Samsung phone updated all the way to Android 16 and it looks like it will get frequent security updates.

In terms of the Straight Talk site - once you sign in and click "activate" the G Stylus appear in your account - you get the choice of a new number or a transfer of existing number - however the phone will lock to Straight Talk at the "carrier" level once you do first activation. Since it is carrier locked I doubt you could add your Fi line until after you unlock 60 days later.
You could try to activate the device on your Fi account using eSIM but then any future unlocking would be up to the terms of Google Fi. This trick used to work for any phone sold on the shelf at any big box store - not sure it would hurt you if you try to activate on Fi and the Google site declares it ineligible/incompatible - you would then have to proceed with a Straight Talk activation - no harm, no foul.

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.
Just checked - for me all my devices need renewal on 1/31/26 - exactly 28 days after activating but exactly 30 days after shipping from CEVA wireless

Or whatever the cheapest plan that will automatically make phones unlocked.
I've activated both lines now (1:41AM, 04/01/26) but it shows only 28 days left! I thought it should be 30 days of service since activation? I received the phones a few days ago.

Meanwhile, the 8" tablet still works for the promo so IDK what's wrong with their system

Did you ask them by any chance whether you can but extra month later or it must be 60 days of service without interruption to be eligible for unlock?
