Frequent Asked Quesitons about Carrier Lock Status

You can switch carriers, but you may need to use your original carrier's SIM. To use another network, you'll need to unlock the device first.
Carrier lock restricts which carrier's network your phone can use. SIM lock adds a PIN requirement to access the SIM card itself—these are separate security features.
A locked phone won't accept local SIM cards, so you'll be stuck paying high roaming fees from your home carrier instead of using affordable local plans.
Enter your device's IMEI number and we'll query carrier databases to determine whether your phone is locked to a specific carrier or available for any network.
The IMEI database may be outdated, or the device has a different type of lock (like SIM PIN or iCloud lock). Try resetting the SIM PIN or contact your carrier for further diagnosis.
