In addition, I checked to make sure I was able to upgrade successfully to my new iPhone 6 AND checked my account online to see all active devices. My old iPhone 4S phone, that I sent to this Recycling Program, is not listed under my Activated Devices section in my account information. But in the Check Status area, it says my

Final Trade-In Value is now $36.00, with Adjustment Reason: Activation Lock not deactivated. YES, the Activation Lock WAS deactivated. What else was I supposed to do?

I wish we either went with a store trade-in to Gamestop, with cash on the spot; or switched to AT&T, like my sister wanted us to. I really hate Verizon.
