Story summary
- Verizon updated its unlocking policy to require a 35-day waiting period for customers paying off installment plans online, via the app, or by phone.
- The change takes effect February 11, and immediate unlocks require a visit to a Verizon corporate store.
- Previously, the waiting period applied only to Verizon gift card payments, and the January 27 effective date raises concerns about retroactive disclosure, since unlocking enables switching carriers.
