Question: are the verizon phones unlocked?
Answer: Verizon states on its Device Unlocking Policy page, "We do not lock our 4G LTE devices, and no code is needed to program them for use with another carrier. We do not lock our 3G devices, other than our non-iPhone 3G World Devices." ... Verizon's 3G Prepaid Phone-in-the-Box phones can be unlocked after 12 months of service.
