No. I took the SIM card out of my aging Moto G4 phone on a postpaid Verizon plan and it would not connect to the VZW network. Customer service reps at Verizon verified that the Nokia 3 V is for use with Verizon prepaid (i.e. likely won't work for Total Wireless, Straight Talk, etc.) service only. The good news is that as per Verizon's website, you do not have to wait 6 months for an unlock: "Devices that you purchase from Verizon and certain devices purchased from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period following device purchase, we do not lock our phones at any time."
