We upgraded ours without unfreezing our credit.

No, once you’re in, you’re in.

Nope. I upgraded last summer with frozen credit.Lou Sevens wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:20 pm Hello, I am looking to upgrade my phone - could you please let me know if I would need to unfreeze my credit ? This is for my current line- not adding new service. thanks.

I've never had to unfreeze my credit to upgrade phones.
I find it much easier dealing with frozen credit by just going about life as normal. If and when someone needs to access your credit, they will tell you that you are denied, which bureau they attempted to access, and give you a number to refute their claim. I simply unfreeze that particular credit bureau at that time, call that number and refute the claim. They will do the pull and all is good. It prevents having to unfreeze credit for unknown lengths of time and messing with all of the other credit bureaus.

Re: Do I need to unfreeze credit to upgrade Phone with Verizon?
thank you everyone for your replies; I appreciate it. I have been using my Iphone XS for 3 1/4 years and it is starting to show the drain with the battery life at 89%; plus I added the Applewatch as well. My second phone I added (I added a second line last year when I was unfrozen) is a 12 pro.
