Want to unlock my iPhone 5 c contracted with Verizon until February 28 2016

Hi Plongo421,

To unlock your iPhone for use with a different carrier, you must contact the carrier to whom it is locked, in this case presumably Verizon. Once unlocked it may be used with any compatible carrier. See this article for reference - How to unlock your iPhone for use with another carrier.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Sincerely.

All Verizon iPhones from the 5 on are already unlocked. They are sold that way.
