If by unlock you mean to use it on other carriers, then they may be able to. Verizon phones run on CDMA technology, and currently there is no unlocking solution for CDMA phones. Only GSM phones are able to be unlocked.

Verizon is the phone company. If you bought a phone from Verizon it would most likely be locked to the verizon network. If you purchase an unlocked phone, you would need to buy a simcard from Verizon in order to activate the phone with that company.

Verizon does indeed sell unlocked phones. However, there have been complaints about these phones not turning out the way Verizon promised, so be wary of that.
