How to Unlock a Verizon Phone for Free
Unlocking your Verizon phone should be simple — but somehow it never is.
You’ve paid it off, your contract is over, and yet… you’re still stuck.
If you’re switching carriers or traveling internationally, here’s how to unlock your Verizon phone — fast.

✅ Step-by-Step: Unlock Your Verizon Phone
- Check Eligibility
- • Your phone must be paid off in full.
- • It must be active for at least 60 days.
- • The account must be in good standing.
- Call Verizon’s Device Unlocking Department
