Unlocked Verizon Phone

[donebrasko]

I have a paid off Verizon Flip 5. It's unlocked according to Verizon. Is there a way to get Sanding Cloud and other options that are available on the unlocked version?

What is Sanding Cloud?

What is Sanding Cloud?

I suspect it's an indigenous native peoples name for a very rough cloud, that as it traverses across the sky, its roughness leaves scratches (sanding marks) across the sky as well as on other clouds. Perhaps something on the order of an Orbital Sander?

Or, it could be a case of.... the notorious auto-correction strikes again!

I think he means Samsung Cloud.
Verizon blocks that even on factory unlocked devices. And I'm not sure Samsung Cloud exists anymore. I think they shut that down and moved everyone to Microsoft One Drive.
When Verizon tells you that your carrier device is unlocked, that just means that you can take it to another carrier. It is not the same thing as a factory unlocked device.

I wish that all phones were just unlocked like the iPhones. Lock it to your carrier until it's paid off.

I will be getting rid of this Fold 5. Might hold it until July and trade it for the 6. If it's like last year it will only cost me 99 dollars.

Not all iPhones are unlocked if you go through carrier it's locked until u pay it off.

The fold 5 u got a great deal for 99.00 was that through your carrier?

Yeah I knew that about the iPhones. What I meant was that once you pay them off they don't have any carrier restrictions.

I meant the Flip 5. Sorry
