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.

If you have all the port out info, you can port it out after the service ends (but do it before the PIN expires)
***Your Straight Talk phone number MUST be active in our system.***

I wonder if I port it out on Day 60, will the phone still be unlocked on Day 61. Or do I need to extend the service beyond 60 days for a successful port out.
Anyone who can share experience?
Thanks.

Looks like I was wrong, I'm glad you didn't follow my guidance.

FCC rules that Verizon does not have to UNLOCK phone after 60 days. Not good for those of us that recently got these phones!
Your purchase date was fine but the delay in activation could cost you.
If it was just a port issue weren't you running on temporary numbers while waiting for the Boost thing to be worked out? I think that would be a different story

Which is supposed to be the date, the date they took the decision or the date officially released it?
I have a line that says activation was 01/13/2026, should I go for the second month to get it unlocked?

Some folks got unlocked by claiming they were going to travel overseas - if you've had delays and breaks in service I'm not sure if that path will make sense in a call to customer service.
That sucks - I'm hoping my gear automatically unlocks on 2/28 but if not I'll have to contact customer service myself - I paid the second month with no break in service but I'm not really using the phones - the hotspot I could have used was too slow for my location.
