Verizon Wireless operates on a Code-Based Unlocking System. This means that the unlock code is specific to each device and is not shared among all Verizon Wireless customers.
The unlock code can be found on the device itself, or on a SIM card that came with the device. If the SIM card is missing, the unlock code can be found online. .
To use the unlock code, the customer must have the original device, a valid SIM card, and the unlock code. The customer must also have a compatible mobile service plan with Verizon Wireless.
Once all of these items are present, the customer must follow the instructions provided on the website or on the device to complete the unlock process.
When a Verizon Wireless customer requests an unlock, the company first verifies that the device is eligible for an unlock. Eligibility is determined by the device’s model number, IMEI number, and lock status.
If the device is eligible, Verizon Wireless will send the unlock code to the customer’s email address.
Verizon Wireless will not unlock devices that have been reported lost, stolen, or damaged.
