How do I unlock a phone with Verizon?

 


If you're using a Verizon device, you should definitely find out if it's been blocked by your provider. FYI, a locked device cannot be switched to another service provider. Still, some services can help you out with unlocking your device. Even though they may charge you a fee, they will do their job more carefully without damaging your phone.

Besides, according to the Verizon device unlocks policy page, 4G LTE phones will not be locked. In addition, Verizon does not block 3G smartphones. Although, they do block some phones. So, there are several ways to find out if your Verizon phone has been unlocked:

1. The easiest way to check the status of your phone is to call your current provider and ask directly.

2. Take out the SIM card and insert a SIM card from a different provider to see if it works.

Verizon does not currently block most smartphones. This means that you can use a different operator. Even if your phone is locked, you can try to unlock it yourself.

Non-iPhone global 3G phones may still be blocked by Verizon. Fortunately, you can unlock Verizon phones in a few steps.

  • 1. Remove your SIM card and insert a wireless SIM card from another provider into your Verizon phone.
  • 2. Open the programming menu on your phone. You can find it in the user manual.
  • 3. Enter 000000 or 123456 when prompted to unlock your Verizon phone immediately.


If you can't find the user manual or the unlock codes don't work, dial *611 from your Verizon phone or 1-800-922-0204 from another phone to contact customer support for help.

For users who have a Verizon prepaid phone, you need to wait at least 12 months after activating the device. Verizon will simply block these devices for 12 months. After that, you can easily unlock your Verizon phone.
