Can Verizon wireless sim lock the iPhone 5 if bill is unpaid?

So the iPhone 5 will be sim unlocked. What if I can't pay the bill when it is due or it is passed due date? Will they be able to all of a sudden lock the sim slot to their carrier?

Added (1). First answerer did not answer my question: if I pay late, will they relock the sim card? Obviously they will disconnect my service.

If you don't pay your bill, they cut off your service. Simple.

  • What will my monthly verizon wireless bill be? With the iphone 5c if i chose unlimited + 2gb share everything plan it says $60 per month and $40 for the line. Does that mean my bill will be $100 a month or are there other factors in the bill?

  • Unpaid item case after i relisted it and sold it? I put up an Iphone 4 on ebay, someone bought it but never paid. After 2 days i messaged them asking what was going on and they replied "i don't want it, it's verizon"---obviously this person is an idiot because it clearly said Verizon in the title. However, i relisted it and it sold. But now i want to open an 'unpaid item' case in ebay. But i no longer have the phone because i sold it, so if they do pay… What do i do?
  • Unlimited talk and text but still high bill (Verizon Wireless)? So I have an iPhone 4 by Verizon with unlimited talk and text. When I first bought this phone I was paying 103.00 for a while, then it went up to 104, 111 and kept getting higher. So a few days ago i receive my bill in the mail and it said 160! What the heck. I'm not buying any apps, I get them all for free, my data is extremely low… What is going on? Is there any way I can make my bill go down to it's original price? I'd much appreciate the help
