How do I know if my phone is unlocked?


Here's how to check if a phone is unlocked to see if it's free to use with another carrier.

Remember that some carriers use buy-one-get-one (BOGO) deals with monthly bill credits to lock customers into a cycle of paying off the phone for the entire term. If you're greeted with a dialog box telling you to enter a SIM unlock code, your phone is SIM-locked to the carrier from which it was initially purchased.
