How to unlock a Verizon phone
Use the free check below to enter an IMEI, confirm the original country and network, and see a possible device match. The result does not query Verizon or confirm whether the phone is locked or eligible to unlock.
Step by step
- 01
Enter your 15-digit IMEI
In the free Device Check form, enter the phone’s IMEI. You can find it by dialing *#06# or in Settings → About.
- 02
Confirm the original country and network
This guide preselects the country and network. Make sure they match where the phone was originally locked; change either selection if needed.
- 03
Press “Check my device”
The result appears below the form. It checks the number format and may show a possible manufacturer or model from the public catalog. It does not check carrier lock status or unlock eligibility.
Carrier-specific requirements
Confirm the rules with Verizon
Unlock conditions may depend on country, prepaid or postpaid service, payment status, account standing, and the device’s reported status. We do not publish an estimated processing time unless the carrier states one. Use Verizon’s official support channel to confirm the current requirements for this device.
