Reply With QuoteI seriously doubt the age of the account matters as much. You would still be bound to the "60 day rule" as you pointed out. The goal is to discourage folks from buying the device at a discount and immediately selling it for a profit.

Will Verizon unlock an iPhone 4S that has just been activated?
If the line (family share) has been active for several years?
I'm not sure if the 60 day rule applies for the phone itself or the account in general.
thanks for the info

If I'm annoyed and you're annoyed, does that make us a paranoid ??

What do you mean by unlock? Use it on another carrier?
My screen is bigger than yours
yes, unlock to use on a foreign GSM provider.
Why yes, that is a bag phone
The 60-day window applies to the account and not the device. However, Verizon limits 1 unlock per year unless that policy has recently changed.
Radiation is good
Business accounts sometimes have different rules about unlock timing.
Your best bet is going to be to call.

update...
I called them to unlock the iPhone 4S.
I inserted my foreign sim into the iPhone and then connected it to iTunes. It asked me to download carrier update and I did so. Then it showed that my iPhone is unlocked and the phone itself shows AT&T roaming.
Thanks guys.

+1.
I updated to a Blackberry 9850 and SIM unlocked it with Global Support the same day. My understanding was that the one-unlock-per-year applies to the device, but the 60-day eligibility requirement is on the account.

I was able to get my 4s unlocked the first day I bought it through VZW. I think you get one unlock per 6 months IIRC.

That's correct. I unlocked my Blackberry Tour the first day I bought it.
