Anna, we're getting ready to unlock our t-mobile phones. A person at the
t-mobile store told us if we have another iphone on a different network
other than t-mobile, that if you were to take the sim card out of that other
network's phone, and put it into the phone you want to unlock, it would pop
up some messages with the promps to unlock it. Here's some more information,
with t-mobile, if you buy a phone from them, pay cash for the phone in full,
it will still come with the phone locked so you would still have to unlock
the phone, but if you could buy this same iphone from apple it would come
unlocked. We don't know this from any actual experience but verizon phones,
claim all their phones are unlocked, and a person from oneof the corprid
verizon store said the phones being unlocked has been going on for about 4
years. One thing about it, if you put another sim card from another carrier
that phone and it works, than you would know the phone is unlocked. We don't
know about at&t about this, but we suggest you could ask at&t, and we hope
you get an honest answer. I would say to ask more than one individual at
at&t, I would ask both, someone in one of your city's corprid at&t stores,
and also you could ask the customer service when you call on the phone. If
your phone is completely paid for we suggest you get it unlocked soon.
Before ending this message, we just called verizon and at&t. According to
the customer service person from the at&t customer service number, she said
the phones were locked, but to find out for sure there's 2 things you could
do besides calling the store. With your imei number you could call either
the at&t customer service or call the store and they should be able to tell
you. The second way to check with your imei number is to search for an imei
checker. One of the results for an imei checker I found was to check and see
if one's imei number was on t-mobile. There's probably imei checkers for
all the carriers. Let us know what you find out, Anna, and possibly someone
knows a bit more.

Subject: Re: going through the process of unlocking a phone
Hi all,
Is there a way to find out whether a phone is unlocked or not? I bought mine
from Apple last fall, specifying AT&T as the carrier. It's an iPhone X. I
seem to remember hearing that these phones came unlocked, but I'm not sure.
I'd rather not have to do the restore from backup if it's not necessary.
Best,
Anna
