Sorry if I didn't make it clear. The money for the promotions is primarily to get new customers, especially ones from certain target demographics. The reseller essentially pockets value and...

This is incorrect. Verizon only had to unlock because of a specific sale years ago as an anti-competitive measure. Verizon is clearly violating their previous restriction as they know they won't get...

You guys are off about the resellers point as being a valid line as well. There is no income loss from sales of phones to resellers either since V is reimbursed for from manufacturers. Those bogo...

Unless they stipulate a time period after activation, then you are good. If they don't stipulate, and you still get locked longer than a few weeks. . .well, first of all I would buy it with Amex. ...

Verizon is finally closing the US retailer flex unlock policy loophole. No honest person would bat an eye, it's an instant unlock for actual VZW subscribers with valid SIMs anyways. Good news for...

It's only locked until activated. If purchased and activated on Verizon network it's back to normal. literally just to make it less valuable when a store gets robbed

No they don’t. FCC is housed by corporate republicans so if you’re actually expecting them to hurt their own people then you’re naive.

unless they get away from using 700Mhz they will have to unlock them pretty quick. I also thought they were obliged to do so for all frequencies from a lawsuit??

Exactly how long the wait process is still unknown. If it turns out the same as Sprint unlocking policy, then Verizon is using these robberies as a trick to keep new customers to stay with its...

Or true. They plan on keeping them locked for an unspecified time. Their details aren’t available but it’ll be like T-Mobile or sprint.

So would this eliminate buying the phone on a DPP, paying it off then going to another carrier?

Sure, it's just to prevent armed robbers. Let me guess, you'll have to specifically request an unlock after you buy it and probably take a few active steps.
