Thank you for your comments. Perhaps I should clarify my question, a bit: I own an iphone 4S that is out of contract (fully paid for), and my account is in good standing. I have requested that Verizon unlock it, which they have, but only for international carriers (ie, it can be used with any GSM sim, as long as its outside the US). I would like to use T-Mobile or AT&T sim occasionally when I'm travelling, and it was my understanding that these set of new principles will allow me to do so. @tidbits : Regarding exempt devices - Verizon still sells iphone 4S devices, so it seems reasonable to me that this policy should apply to new+old devices. If that is not the case, Verizon should clarify that - one of the principles Verizon has committed to is a clear and accessible unlocking policy. @elector : Regarding the date where these policies go into effect - I believe the announcement stated that half the policies go into effect by May 11th 2014, and the rest should go into effect by February 11th, 2015.
