Also. embracing for the time machine jokes, I still think 16e 128gb at $299 for the phone, was a better deal and might come back - far superior processor, 8gb ram, Apple AI support, longer os update support, convenient usb-c port instead of lightning etc. These far outweigh the potential advantages from 14 plus - 256gb, dual camera, magsafe, larger screen size etc for me.
Not true for everyone/every use case, agreed. YMMV
Verizon Postpaid: Per Verizon's official policy, handsets sold on postpaid plans remain locked for 60 days after purchase/activation, then auto‑unlock. "Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase… After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock"verizon.com. This 60‑day rule (no mention of any extra payment) remains in effect for all postpaid devices.
Verizon Prepaid: Likewise, Verizon's published policy locks prepaid phones only 60 days after activation, with no additional paid‑service requirementverizon.com. After 60 days the lock is removed. In other words, Verizon's own prepaid service is unaffected by any new policy – it still follows the standard 60‑day unlocking ruleverizon.com.
Verizon MVNOs ("Value" brands): By contrast, Verizon's affiliated prepaid brands (the "Verizon Value" or MVNO carriers such as TracFone, Straight Talk, Visible, Total Wireless, etc.) have new unlock rules effective 4/1/2025. Under those rules a device is only unlocked after 60 days of paid service in addition to 60 days after activation. For example, a summary of the Value‐brand policy states that phones activated on Verizon's network will unlock only "60 days after paid Activation and 60 days of paid active service"tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com. In practice this means two months of service (roughly $60 in prepaid charges) must be paid before the unlock occurs. Visible (Verizon's own mobile app brand) explicitly confirms this in its terms: after 4/1/2025 a phone "will automatically unlock 60 days after activation date with two months (60 days) of paid active service now required"doctorofcredit.com.
In summary: Verizon's official policies for its postpaid and prepaid plans remain a simple 60‑day wait (no mention of extra fees)verizon.com. The only parties subject to the new 60‑day paid‑service requirement are the Verizon‑based MVNO brands (Straight Talk, TracFone, Visible, etc.)tracfonereviewer.blogspot.comdoctorofcredit.com. Postpaid customers and Verizon's own prepaid customers are still eligible for unlock after 60 days in good standing, as beforeverizon.com.

I had a 16 plus from them and it required 60 days paid to unlock.
Add at least a $60 plan and you should see the discounted price in your cart.

Kind of weird, since their unlocking policy just states after "activation" 60 days later it will unlock and nothing about paid service 60 days straight

Yeah, the policy changes since April 1st has caused a lot of confusion. I purchased the 16e precisely on April 1 and despite the policy changes being published after I bought and they are not the same for Verizon prepaid as for mnvos, I am still going to recharge another month for my 16e, given it will need me to pay ($60 - $25 monthly discount on 16e deal - $10 from auto pay = $25) only. If I don't pay for the 2nd month and Verizon refuses to unlock in lack of 60 days of service, then worst case, I will have to pay for another consecutive 60 days at a much higher rate since I will loose the $25 discount. So, for $25+tax more, I am willing to pay to avoid any such risk.
YMMV
Also, yes, I agree, the 16e deal was a bit better (even if a bit more expensive) as long as one didn't want the larger screen.
Yes I agree that VZW Prepaid deals on iPhones tend to show up randomly and they are not always present. As someone who is a bit more familiar with T-Mobile than Verizon, I am aware that customer support reps aren't always going to tell you the truth. Plus as mentioned in this thread, Visible had that problem a few months ago, I think people bought the 13 and those who switched their active line to a new phone didn't all get their phones unlocked, even though Visible unlock policy didn't require 60 days of active service at the time--customer support reps were still telling people that 60 days of active service was required.
Tax is $65!
