ATT pulled a similar stunt on me when I used their insurance to replace my phone. Paid insurance for years without using it, but had to still wait 30 days after replacement to unlock my phone.

Thankfully, all my phones are unlocked from the get-go. I don’t like lock-in contracts in general, not just with phones. It’s the open-source way of rolling.

Just buy your own phone from a non network supplier and pay for a usage only contract.
It is much cheaper.

Do not buy your phones from the carriers!

Glad I switched to Mint.
Verizon doing everything they can to operate like a crappy cable company.
LPT – If you’re a Verizon customer, if it’s still active, log into your account and search for „transfer pin“.
You should get a box show up giving you $20/month off for a year. Click the button for info/enroll.

Apple has their own 0% interest financing. If you’re going to get an iPhone, never buy it from a carrier. Always buy it from Apple. It’ll be unlocked and worth so much more money in the end. Plus, you don’t have to deal with the phone company and can switch plans at any time.

I’ve been buying phones unlocked for a long time. I also switched to visible. Hard to beat $25 a month for unlimited.. I don’t miss the days of leasing phones through Verizon

Verizon iPhones were historically unlocked, did the do away with that recently?
