These carriers have other variances for their unlocking policies as well. AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile all lock smartphones for a period of 40-60 days after purchase. “These steps will make our phones exponentially less desirable to criminals.”ĬNET notes that Verizon hasn’t mentioned how long it will be locking devices after purchase. “We’re taking steps to combat this theft and reduce fraud,” Tami Erwin, executive vice president of wireless operations for Verizon, said in a statement. The carrier curiously says this move is an attempt to reduce theft and fraud. Reported by CNET, Verizon shared today that it will begin locking phones it sells starting sometime this spring. Verizon is currently the only major carrier that doesn’t lock its iPhones and other smartphones upon purchase, but that is now set to change this spring.
