When I was reading we ran into the question “Why is my Verizon phone locked for 60 days?”.

How do I know if my Verizon SIM card is unlocked?
You can determine whether your Verizon phone is unlocked or not by inserting a SIM card from another carrier after 60 days. Your phone remains locked if “SIM Not Supported” is displayed on its display. Verizon support can let you know whether or not your phone is unlocked before you purchase a new phone . What is the Verizon SIM unlock code?
Old Verizon phones used SIM unlock codes to unlock devices , but you no longer need to worry about entering a SIM unlock code. All phones you can currently purchase from Verizon won’t require entering any unlock codes.
This begs the query “How long does it take Verizon to unlock a prepaid phone?”
Prepaid Device Unlocking Policy Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from one of our authorized retailers are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock unless the device is deemed stolen or purchased fraudulently.
Why can’t I Reset My phone number on my Verizon bill?
Can’t reset on-line because our home phone is no longer a home phone . We also can’t supply an account number because we signed up for paperless ONE-BILL which delivers on-line bills to our verizon email account but only shows last 4 digits of our acct. Customer service says only way for them to help is with a home number or acct number.
This of course begs the inquiry “Why can’t I Remember my Verizon user name/password?”
An answer is that if you can’t remember your My Verizon user name/password, are having trouble signing in or your account has been locked , this info helps. Resetting the password on one of these sites resets the password for all of the following Verizon wireless online portals: My Verizon, Push to Talk, Verizon Cloud, etc.
