What service (link) did you use and did you get your money back?

OK guys, got it!!! Verizon rep gave me the wrong number. I used ebay service $15, told the guy to check my IMEI before I am going to pay for it, he checked it said he has it. All done now, and whoever wonders, 7th try to unlock SIM is 42 min wait

Yes, got my refund back from my first unsuccessful try.

Why wouldn't you just call Verizon back and get a new number instead of paying. Why pay when the service is free.

There was no way to know that the number was wrong from Verizon rep. And the service that I got from ebay, requires video proof that the unlock code was not valid.

well if the number doesn't work from verizon then it was wrong. Plain and simple the number they give is correct unless the rep give it to you wrong.

Yeah, in this guy's case I would have called them back and insisted until I got it to work. In other cases VZW won't release the code unless your acct. is in good standing. For example, in October I didn't pay on time, incurred some late fees, but paid up in full on November 1. On November 15 I call to get the PIN stating that I'm going to travel in December for Christmas. Their reply is "you have to wait 2 full months of your account being in good standing before we release the PIN." I have a legitimate reason to get the PIN versus plenty others that just want to use it on another carrier but I'm penalized EVEN THOUGH my account is paid in full. "Ok, just a minute while I go reschedule Christmas."
