Unlock a Phone on Verizon This carrier automatically locks any phone bought through Verizon for 60 days. After that 60-day period, your phone is unlocked—with no extra steps needed. To confirm that your phone is unlocked, you can dial *611 from the device or call Verizon’s customer service at 800-922-0204.

Unlocking a Verizon phone is as easy as can be. All you have to do in order to unlock a postpaid device is keep it on the network for 60 days, or about two billing cycles. If you have a prepaid device, you can power it on and wait for the prompt to enter a code. Verizon's code will either be 000000 or 123456.
