An SPC is a service programming code required to unlock a phone for programming. On Verizon Wireless postpaid accounts, all of the phones have the same SPC of "000000." On prepaid accounts, however, things get a little more complicated. Each prepaid phone has its own individual SPC, since Verizon Wireless doesn't want customers buying a discounted phone and taking it to another carrier without signing up for Verizon Wireless service first. To get the SPC for a Verizon prepaid phone, you just have to ask for it.

Advise the prepaid representative that you need help with programming your phone manually.

As part of the manual programming process, the agent will give you a six-digit number to type into the phone. This number is the SPC.
