Reseller Flex Policy

Hello, 

 

My company purchased numerous Apple iPhones from a high volume wholesaler who stated that we must contact Verizon to request an unlock for the still locked iPhones.

Hello sabdallah89. Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase.   Devices that you purchase from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation.  After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60-day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time.

Hi Ivone, 

 

When I checked these IMEIs, it shows the devices were activated more than 60 days ago but are still locked.  Is there someone I can email a list of the IMEIs to?

I hate to tell you this, but iPhones are a favorite target of thieves, who then fence the phones overseas.  The only way to unlock a Verizon phone is to activate and use the phone on Verizon's network for 60 days, and the network is only in the US.  Unfortunately, you are very much not alone, as I sadly see threads like this almost daily.
