Verizon iPhone unlock and eligibility check by IMEI
44,000+ orders completed · rejected orders are refunded automatically
Verizon's own policy locks a newly purchased phone for 60 days and then releases it automatically, so a Verizon device that is paid for, past the lock period and in good standing needs no unlock service at all. The devices that do need help are the ones Verizon reports as Not Eligible: still inside the lock period, financed, or carrying a flag on the ESN. The Verizon Eligibility Check returns the model, Device Status, ESN Status, the Unlock Eligible verdict, purchase date, SIM-lock state and the activation policy (for example "US Verizon Locked Policy") in seconds, so you know which case you have before spending more.
For iPhones that are locked to Verizon with a clear ESN but reported Not Eligible, the eligibility conversion changes the Verizon eligibility flag to "Eligibility - Support Unlock"; it does not unlock the phone by itself, so the unlock is ordered, or requested from Verizon, afterwards. Eligible Verizon iPhones can be unlocked by IMEI through the iPhone unlock for eligible devices.
Orders are processed automatically 24/7, the API is open to resellers, and a rejected order is refunded to your balance in full. Prices for the Verizon services are shown after sign-in.

Requirements
- The IMEI (dial *#06# on the phone or see Settings > General > About).
- Locked to Verizon USA (or a Verizon-network prepaid brand for the eligibility conversion): the Apple activation policy names the carrier, for example "US Verizon Locked Policy". Not sure? Run the Carrier Policy Report first.
- Eligibility conversion: an iPhone locked to Verizon with a clear ESN. A device from another carrier or one that is already eligible still consumes the order.
How it works
- Run the Verizon Eligibility Check — Device Status, ESN Status, Unlock Eligible and the lock state arrive in seconds.
- Unlock Eligible: Eligible with a clear ESN — order the iPhone unlock for eligible devices, or request the unlock from Verizon.
- Not Eligible with a clear ESN — order the Not Eligible to Eligible conversion, wait for the reply "Eligibility - Support Unlock", then order the unlock.
- A flagged ESN means the device is not a candidate for the services on this page; the check tells you before you pay. Rejected orders are refunded automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What does "Unlock Eligible: Not Eligible" mean?
Unlock Eligible follows Verizon's own rules: devices inside the 60-day lock period, financed, or carrying a flag on the ESN show Not Eligible. Device Status and ESN Status in the same reply tell you which of these applies.
What does the "Not eligible to eligible convert" service do?
It changes the unlock eligibility of a Verizon-locked iPhone with a clear ESN. The reply confirms the model, IMEI, purchase date, lock state and the new eligibility: "Eligibility - Support Unlock". It does not unlock the device; order a Verizon unlock (or request it from Verizon) afterwards.
Can a non-Verizon phone be checked?
The check always returns a result, but non-Verizon devices return only the lines Verizon holds (often just model, IMEI and status). That is a valid answer and not a refund case; run the Carrier Policy Report to see which network the phone is locked to.
Why are the prices hidden?
The Verizon services are priced for registered resellers; the price of each service is shown on its page after sign-in. Registration is free and the balance is only charged when you place an order.
What happens if the order is rejected?
A rejected order is refunded to your balance automatically, in full. Once submitted the order is processed automatically and cannot be cancelled.
The official route
Verizon's device unlocking policy locks a newly purchased phone for 60 days after activation and then removes the lock automatically, without a request; devices sold by Verizon's prepaid brands follow the same 60-day rule. A phone that is past that period, paid for and in good standing is already unlocked, or will be, free of charge, and you can confirm it in Settings > General > About ("No SIM restrictions") or with the eligibility check above. The services on this page are for the Not Eligible cases — the lock period and financing — and for resellers who need the eligibility answer in seconds and in bulk.
