Community Reviews

This iPhone 13 deal stands out for the low price on a new 128GB Verizon model, with the main appeal being a cheap path to an iPhone or a trade in. The phone is expected to unlock after about 60 days of paid Verizon activation, which could make it usable on other carriers later. The catch is that it is Verizon locked at first, so it may not work out of the box with Verizon based MVNOs like Spectrum, Visible, or Total Wireless. A solid option if the unlock timing fits your plan.

  • The Verizon lock can reportedly be removed after about 60 to 90 days of paid Verizon service.

  • The phone may be suitable for a trade-in if the device condition meets the carrier or retailer requirements.

  • Unlocking after roughly 60 days of Verizon activation may be straightforward if the supply chain is legitimate.

  • The Verizon-locked phone may not work reliably with Verizon MVNOs like Spectrum before it is fully unlocked.

  • Using the phone on Total Wireless may not work out of the box because it still may require Verizon unlocking first.

  • Unlocking timing and eligibility may be ambiguous, including uncertainty about whether the seller is an authorized retailer.

  • Trade-in values for the iPhone 13 may be low, which can reduce the benefit of buying for later credit.

I have Spectrum which uses the Verizon network, but think I would still need to unlock this to use it. Is that possible?

AI says:

"Yes, you can use a Verizon phone on Spectrum Mobile, but the phone must be fully unlocked by Verizon first, which usually happens after 60 days of service or when the device is paid off, then you activate it by getting a Spectrum SIM and checking compatibility on their site. Since Spectrum Mobile uses Verizon's network, coverage is the same, but you need to follow steps to remove Verizon's lock and transfer your number smoothly to keep it, as Spectrum is an MVNO"

This would be paid off...but never used with Verizon

I wouldn't trust a Verizon locked phone to work with Verizon MVNOs like Spectrum.

Verizon devices are locked for 60 days. After that, Verizon will automatically remove the lock. For more information, visit Verizon support.
Verizon says [verizon.com]:

Quote :
Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from one of our authorized retailers are locked for 60 days after paid activation. After 60 days of paid active service and ordinary usage, we will automatically remove the lock unless the device is deemed stolen or purchased fraudulently. Following the 60 day lock period following device purchase, we do not lock our phones at any time.
So...still ambiguous? Because I assume this isn't an "authorized retailer." Though it says "60 days after activation" so I guess this would need to actually be used on Verizon first to be unlocked...

Again, it's a roll of the dice without actual Verizon service. Carriers subsidize these carrier locked phones and generally won't allow them to be used outside of Verizon accounts prior to unlocking.

A lot of these listings for Verizon phones will say they cannot be unlocked even after activating on Verizon. Not sure why.

These phones come from a legitimate supply chain, so unlocking after 60 days activated with Verizon should be no problem.
