What Is An Unlocked iPhone?

Unlocking is a term used in the mobile industry to define a mobile device that can be used with different carriers other than the original carrier. Most of the time when you purchase your iPhone from the carrier stores the iPhone will be locked to that carriers network. This means that you can only use that device with that carrier. The carriers have certain requirements that have to be met before they can unlock your iPhone. For most carriers the main requirement is that the device be fully paid off from any lease agreement. If you have paid off your device contact your carrier and request an unlock. Certain carriers will also unlock your iPhone if you are going out of the country. For this option your account must be in good standing.
