Information on how to unlock your Verizon mobile device.

How Can you unbar your Verizon Phone to use on another CDMA or GSM Carrier?
How To Liberate your Verizon CDMA Phone from it's carrier?:
In short, it is not possible to unlock most Verizon phones to use on other carriers. Because of the technology limitations with CDMA devices, with the exception of the Verizon iPhone which has GSM capabilities by default, and can easily be unlocked and used on GSM networks. To use your Verizon iPhone on another CDMA Network like Sprint in the USA, you are advised to Contact Sprint to ask them on a case to case basis. If it is at all possible, Sprint would need to register the IMEI or MEID number in their system first before the phone can work
There are also some Samsung models and android models which can be "made to work" with GSM networks however it is not a simple process. It would require rooting the device and updating the modem firmware and ROM to get it to work. And this too is only possible for some handsets.

The Complete Verizon Network Unlock Process
The Verizon network unlock method is different from most carriers as they do not use the typical 8 digit unlock code. However, some phone's do ask for a code. In this case the message displayed will say this sim card is not from verizon wireless.
Here you can enter in the 8 digit unlock code as shown below:

Make sure you read the service description before ordering as some services do not offer refunds if your phone does not prompt automatically for a code. Some Verizon phones will simply display Non Verizon SIM with no option to enter in the unlock code.

Verizon phones are not great for traveling abroad. The majority of the rest of the world was using GSM technology, and the countries and regions that used CDMA weren't always compatible with Verizon's devices.
With Verizon you have the inability to easily swap phones on Verizon's CDMA network. To this day, you can't just go out and buy an unlocked device and expect to use it immediately on Verizon, if at all.
On Verizon, your phone has to be compatible with the carrier's network. If you break or lose your device, for example, you're probably going to have to have a headache getting a new one to use because there's a chance you'll have to pay full retail price for the device (unless you have insurance or some other deal worked out). Verizon's 4G LTE devices is that they support the use of SIM cards, and some Verizon devices have their SIM cards unlocked. For now there is very little options if any to network unlock your CDMA device. The Good news is Verizon CDMA is expected to be replaced by 2021 to a new GSM network focused on 5G.

What is Unlocking?
Cellular phones are expensive technology. To help make them more affordable to new customers carriers like AT&T, Verizon and Verizon would commonly offset the cost by locking a phone to their network. Instead of paying $600 for a new phone, new customers could pay $0 down in exchange for agreeing to a 2 or 3-year contract which had the price of the phone built into the monthly payments. The phone was then 'locked' to the network so even if you ended the contract prematurely, the phone would not work with competing services; forcing you to buy a new phone.
Unlocking a wireless device lets your phone work on any network that has compatible technology.

About Verizon Mobility:
Verizon Communications Inc. is an American multinational telecommunications conglomerate and a corporate component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The company is based at 1095 Avenue of the Americas in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, but is incorporated in Delaware.
Verizon's subsidiary Verizon Wireless is the second-largest U.S. wireless communications service provider as of April 2019, with 153.1 million mobile customers. And as of 2017, Verizon is the only publicly traded telecommunications company to have two stock listings in its home country, both the NYSE (principal) and NASDAQ (secondary). As of 2017, it is also the second largest telecommunications company by revenue after AT&T.
Verizon began rolling out its 5G mobile network in April 2019 and by year's end, it was active in 30 cities. Unlike other U.S. carriers, Verizon only uses millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum for its 5G network. While capable of very high speeds, mmWave has limited range and poor building penetration.
Verizon Wireless customers with older devices still reliant on 3G CDMA technology will be able to continue using them on Verizon's network until the end of 2020. The wireless giant confirmed this week it is postponing its retirement of 3G service for a year.
